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

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Orhorhoro. The running back hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 2 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
No drama and no debate, Chop Robinson went about where he belonged in the 36th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Xavier Legette
Fair-plus on Xavier Legette, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 3 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at the 101st pick is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Ruke Orhorhoro
Somehow Ruke Orhorhoro was still sitting there in slot 103, and they pounced on premier interior defensive lineman value. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick138 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They took Ben Sinnott at par in pick 138, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylin Simpson
Jaylin Simpson at No. 181 is the steal of the weekend, a first-round talent at a bargain-bin price. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
