Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
Quarterback settled, Williams in the fold, and a B for the Commanders.

Start where it matters. The Commanders took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one. They moved the roster forward and banked a B for it.

The Hopper pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Mitchell.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 2 they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Quinyon Mitchell
Quinyon Mitchell at pick 36 is money in the bank, a cornerback taken below his worth. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They did well to land Ja'Tavion Sanders in the Round 2 slot, just ahead of his grade. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia in the 67th pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Austin Booker
Austin Booker at pick No. 78 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Dominick Puni
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Dominick Puni at slot 100. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick139 Rnd5 Roger Rosengarten
Roger Rosengarten at the 139th overall pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick152 Rnd5 Ty'Ron Hopper
A wild overpay on Ty'Ron Hopper in Round 5, Pick 16, the sort that defines a class for the wrong reasons. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick222 Rnd7 Frank Gore Jr.
No edge and no loss on Frank Gore Jr. in Round 7, Pick 2; it is a wash and a sensible one. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
