Draft Grade — Commanders

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

Somebody in No. 222 was going to get robbed, and it turned out to be the rest of the league. The Commanders sat still while Tykee Smith, the No. 160 name on the board, slid all the way to them, then sprinted to the podium.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

Good work on the whole, with wide receiver the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 2 they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
Troy Fautanu slipping to pick No. 36 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick40 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
By-the-book stuff, Darius Robinson at Round 2, Pick 8 squarely in line with his ranking. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick67 Rnd3 Payton Wilson
They let Payton Wilson come to them and pounced at No. 67. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick78 Rnd3 Sedrick Van Pran
Good price on Sedrick Van Pran in the 78th overall pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick100 Rnd3 Caelen Carson
Caelen Carson at the 100th pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick139 Rnd5 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in the Round 5 slot is a gift, value that borders on unfair. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick152 Rnd5 Josh Newton
Steal is underselling it; Josh Newton at pick 152 is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick222 Rnd7 Tykee Smith
They robbed the room for Tykee Smith here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
