Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C-
ValueB- NeedB TradesF FutureB-
Williams is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a C-.

Start where it matters. The Commanders took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

If Fairchild pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. Paul at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster.

A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

If Caleb Williams and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get a franchise quarterback at fair value.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jonah Elliss
By-the-book stuff, Jonah Elliss at pick 36 squarely in line with his ranking. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jonathon Brooks
This one needs a full-page explanation: Jonathon Brooks in Round 2, Pick 8, miles early. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Patrick Paul
Circle this one: Patrick Paul at pick No. 67 is a fall that decides a draft. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick100 Rnd3 Roman Wilson
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Roman Wilson in the 100th pick. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at the 102nd overall pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the offensive lineman. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick119 Rnd4 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell at No. 119 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick120 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in slot 120 is fair value, right on his grade. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick141 Rnd5 Cedric Gray
A clean, defensible pick in the 141st overall pick with a little surplus value in Cedric Gray. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick156 Rnd5 Nehemiah Pritchett
They read the board right and Nehemiah Pritchett was the payoff at pick No. 156. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at slot 181 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A want dressed up as a pick, at a spot they had covered.
Pick223 Rnd7 Myles Cole
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Myles Cole well ahead of where he belonged. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick255 Rnd7 Mason Fairchild
Value said wait; Mason Fairchild in the Round 7 slot says they were not listening. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
