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. The bottom line is a respectable B-.

Whittington has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

That Dixon pick is the receipt they will wave around later.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the edge rusher spot they never got to.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu at pick No. 36 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick40 Rnd2 Ja'Tavion Sanders
They jumped the gun on Ja'Tavion Sanders, taking him earlier than his grade liked. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at the Round 3 slot is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the linebacker. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
They did well to land Zak Zinter in pick 100, just ahead of his grade. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick102 Rnd4 Blake Fisher
Good price on Blake Fisher in the 102nd overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick141 Rnd5 Johnny Dixon
They read the board right and Johnny Dixon was the payoff at No. 141. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 De'Corian Clark
The board had cheaper options than De'Corian Clark at the 181st pick, and it noticed. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jordan Whittington
They talked themselves into Jordan Whittington at slot 223, and the board did not agree. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
