Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
The Commanders bet the future on Williams. The board says 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.

The Powell-Ryland value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but wide receiver.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
They paid sticker price for Caleb Williams in pick No. 2, and that is fine. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick34 Rnd2 Graham Barton
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Graham Barton at slot 34 is the proof. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick42 Rnd2 Troy Fautanu
No drama and no debate, Troy Fautanu went about where he belonged in the Round 2 slot. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick66 Rnd3 Chris Braswell
They robbed the room for Chris Braswell here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick100 Rnd3 Matt Goncalves
A straight-up fair deal on Matt Goncalves at the 100th overall pick, value and slot in agreement. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 MarShawn Lloyd
Fair-plus on MarShawn Lloyd, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick139 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
A slide stopped in Round 5, Pick 3, with Smael Mondon Jr. worth more than the price. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick180 Rnd6 Antwaun Powell-Ryland
You do not let an edge rusher like Antwaun Powell-Ryland reach No. 180 and blink. They did not. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
