Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a D- weekend for the Commanders.

Call it a hunch or call it a gamble, but the Commanders spent slot 181 on Silas Bolden, a name most had 139 spots down the list.

The trades bled value they could not afford to lose. So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him.

A whole weekend of picks and edge rusher is somehow still a want. The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

Bottom line, they will need several of these picks to beat their grades just to break even, and edge rusher is still a hole.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Kalen King
No drama and no debate, Kalen King went about where he belonged in pick No. 40. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
No edge and no loss on Payton Wilson in slot 67; it is a wash and a sensible one. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick100 Rnd3 Blake Fisher
By-the-book stuff, Blake Fisher at the Round 3 slot squarely in line with his ranking. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Drake Nugent
They left a pile of value on the table to take Drake Nugent this early at No. 102. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick141 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in pick 141 is fair value, right on his grade. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick181 Rnd6 Silas Bolden
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Silas Bolden. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
