Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B, for the Commanders.

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.

Every board in the league had Wiley lower, and that gap is the story. They banked enough surplus on Haynes to cover a lot of smaller sins.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up. On the needs board they went 7 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In No. 2 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick40 Rnd2 Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson at Round 2, Pick 8 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick68 Rnd3 Kiran Amegadjie
No edge and no loss on Kiran Amegadjie in the 68th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick78 Rnd3 Christian Haynes
Christian Haynes at slot 78 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick100 Rnd3 Cam Hart
They paid sticker price for Cam Hart in the 100th pick, and that is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick137 Rnd5 Isaac Guerendo
Nice patience on Isaac Guerendo, who had no business lasting to pick No. 137. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick139 Rnd5 Jared Wiley
Jared Wiley in pick 139 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick152 Rnd5 Marist Liufau
The board had cheaper options than Marist Liufau at pick 152, and it noticed. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
