Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB TradesC+ FutureB+
The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: B.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: Chau Smith-Wade, Round 7, Pick 3, roughly 61 picks past where he belonged.

Everything downstream of Caleb Williams depends on Caleb Williams, and the building knows it. Reaching for Braswell left real value on the table behind him. It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first.

The wide receiver hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 2 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
A reach for Patrick Paul in No. 36; a little patience would have been rewarded. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Chris Braswell
They paid up for Chris Braswell at pick 40 when waiting would have done the job. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick67 Rnd3 Cooper Beebe
Cooper Beebe in the 67th overall pick is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick100 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
A quiet steal in No. 100: Sedrick Van Pran for less than the market said. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick102 Rnd4 Javon Solomon
Of all the spots to shop, they chose OLB-EDGE. Javon Solomon in the 102nd pick leaves wide receiver, tight end and other spots for later.
Pick141 Rnd5 MarShawn Lloyd
Nice patience on MarShawn Lloyd, who had no business lasting to the Round 5 slot. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Chau Smith-Wade
A top-tier cornerback at a bargain, Chau Smith-Wade in Round 7, Pick 3, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
