Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders left with their quarterback, and a B- to match.

They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop. More right than wrong, and a B- to match.

A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. However the rest shakes out, Johnson at that price is a win they earned.

Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Chop Robinson
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Chop Robinson. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
They went early on Jackson Powers-Johnson in slot 40, and the value did not follow. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick70 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
They paid sticker price for Johnny Wilson in the 70th pick, and that is fine. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
Khyree Jackson at pick 101 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick103 Rnd4 Leonard Taylor III
A reach on Leonard Taylor III in No. 103; the board had better options right there. It fills a real need, too.
Pick138 Rnd5 James Williams
A tidy little value on James Williams in pick No. 138, a step better than break-even. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick140 Rnd5 Dylan Laube
They liked Dylan Laube enough to skip the value, taking him in Round 5, Pick 4. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
They read the board right and Cedric Johnson was the payoff at pick 181. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick220 Rnd6 Tylan Grable
The board had Tylan Grable higher than pick No. 220, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
