Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Williams is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: B.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop.

They will need Sinnott to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

That is a running back worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 2 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A reach for Jackson Powers-Johnson in pick No. 36; a little patience would have been rewarded. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
They took Patrick Paul at par in the Round 2 slot, which is nothing to complain about. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell is a better player than Round 3, Pick 3 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick101 Rnd4 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson at slot 101 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ben Sinnott
This one needs a full-page explanation: Ben Sinnott in the 103rd pick, miles early. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick138 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
They let MarShawn Lloyd come to them and pounced at pick 138. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick181 Rnd6 Javon Baker
No edge and no loss on Javon Baker in the 181st overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick247 Rnd7 Blake Watson
Blake Watson in Round 7, Pick 27 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
