Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A franchise passer in Williams headlines a B weekend for the Commanders.

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback. Call it a sensible B, earned the boring way.

The Jackson pick alone nudges the whole weekend up a notch. A whole weekend of picks and interior defensive lineman is somehow still a want.

In sum, a sensible class that nudges the roster the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jordan Morgan. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
Chris Braswell at pick 40 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
Payton Wilson slipping to the 67th pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick101 Rnd4 Khyree Jackson
They will replay Khyree Jackson at the 101st overall pick for years; that is how good the value is. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick103 Rnd4 Bucky Irving
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Bucky Irving at No. 103 is the proof. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick138 Rnd5 Theo Johnson
Theo Johnson in Round 5, Pick 2 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick181 Rnd6 Caedan Wallace
No drama and no debate, Caedan Wallace went about where he belonged in slot 181. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jha'Quan Jackson
Jha'Quan Jackson at Round 6, Pick 45 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
