Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesD- FutureA
Williams is the Commanders' new face under center. Grade: B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

The Pearsall pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. Overpaying at the table undid a lot of the good work elsewhere.

That cornerback hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall. It is a bet on later, and a defensible one for a team playing the long game.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
A market-rate quarterback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Caleb Williams. The roster fit checks out.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
Tyler Guyton at slot 36 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick67 Rnd3 Xavier Worthy
No edge and no loss on Xavier Worthy in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick100 Rnd3 Brandon Dorlus
Brandon Dorlus in pick 100 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick102 Rnd4 Ricky Pearsall
Ricky Pearsall in No. 102 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick139 Rnd5 James Williams
Quietly one of the better values of the day, James Williams at pick No. 139. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
Pick179 Rnd6 Tip Reiman
A straight-up fair deal on Tip Reiman at Round 6, Pick 4, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick222 Rnd7 Steele Chambers
Steele Chambers at the 222nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
