Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders found their guy under center in Williams: B-.

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. It nets out to a B-, which feels about right.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Vidal. That wide receiver hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

The cost of the Braswell reach is exactly the players who went right after him. Almost all the early capital went to that side of the ball.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 2 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
Jordan Morgan is a better player than slot 36 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They went early on Chris Braswell in pick No. 40, and the value did not follow. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
A conviction pick on Cooper Beebe at Round 3, Pick 3 that the board grades a round light. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Marshawn Kneeland
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Marshawn Kneeland. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick102 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
They paid sticker price for Matt Goncalves in the 102nd pick, and that is fine. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott in the 141st overall pick is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick181 Rnd6 Delmar Glaze
Delmar Glaze slid further than he should have, and No. 181 is lovely value for the offensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick223 Rnd7 Kimani Vidal
Kimani Vidal in No. 223 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
