Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall D-
ValueB NeedB+ TradesF FutureC
A passer of the future in Williams, and a D-, for the Commanders.

The Commanders lost the trade war and it was not close, handing partners the better end again and again. The math is unkind, and the D- follows.

Whatever Caleb Williams becomes, the front office has tied its fortunes to the answer. Gray has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want.

They will answer for taking linebacker early while tight end, edge rusher and other spots went begging. If one pick saves this weekend, it is King.

It is a steep hill from here, and the grade knows it.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Marvin Harrison Jr.
In Round 1, Pick 2 they get a matchup problem out wide. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick3 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Guyton
The board had Tyler Guyton higher than the 36th pick, and the offensive lineman fell to them anyway. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick40 Rnd2 Terrion Arnold
Nice patience on Terrion Arnold, who had no business lasting to No. 40. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They will replay Payton Wilson at pick No. 67 for years; that is how good the value is. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick101 Rnd4 Cedric Gray
Hard to square with the roster. With positions of obvious need still on the board, Cedric Gray adds a linebacker and leaves tight end, edge rusher and other spots untouched.
Pick103 Rnd4 Blake Corum
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Blake Corum at pick 103. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick138 Rnd5 Javon Foster
A tidy bit of business in slot 138, where Javon Foster graded well above the range. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick181 Rnd6 Kalen King
Kalen King in the Round 6 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick220 Rnd6 Joe Milton III
Joe Milton III at slot 220 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
