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

The war room fell hard for Jaheim Bell, and it showed at pick No. 67: 73 picks ahead of a board that had other ideas.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The Johnson value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 2 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Troy Fautanu at Round 2, Pick 4. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson at pick 40 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jaheim Bell
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Jaheim Bell well ahead of where he belonged. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick100 Rnd3 Christian Mahogany
Christian Mahogany at No. 100 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick102 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Nothing to complain about; Tykee Smith went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick141 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
The board had MarShawn Lloyd higher than Round 5, Pick 5, and the running back fell to them anyway. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick181 Rnd6 Cedric Johnson
They will replay Cedric Johnson at No. 181 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick223 Rnd7 Brian Ugwu
Brian Ugwu at the 223rd pick is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the edge rusher. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
