Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Williams is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a B-.

After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

It is not that Solomon is a bad player; it is that the Commanders had louder needs to answer first. They banked enough surplus on Wright to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

Solid rather than spectacular, and there is nothing wrong with that.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 2 they get the face of the franchise. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A quiet steal in slot 36: Jordan Morgan for less than the market said. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick67 Rnd3 Blake Corum
Blake Corum in pick No. 67 is fair value, right on his grade. It fills a real need, too.
Pick100 Rnd3 Javon Solomon
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, edge rusher and other spots to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
Pick102 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in the 102nd overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
Ben Sinnott at pick 141 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylen Wright
You do not let a running back like Jaylen Wright reach the 181st pick and blink. They did not. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick223 Rnd7 Myles Jones
They stopped a slide they were happy to see, landing Myles Jones in the 223rd overall pick. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
