Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders answered their biggest question with Williams. Grade: B-.

The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gadsden II. They will need Suamataia to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 2 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick34 Rnd2 Kingsley Suamataia
Kingsley Suamataia at the 34th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick42 Rnd2 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in the 42nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick66 Rnd3 Kamren Kinchens
Kamren Kinchens at pick 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick100 Rnd3 Adisa Isaac
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 100 with a little surplus value in Adisa Isaac. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick102 Rnd4 Cam Hart
Cam Hart in No. 102 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick139 Rnd5 Theo Wease
A reasonable price with a little left over, Theo Wease in Round 5, Pick 3. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick180 Rnd6 Jack Nelson
Jack Nelson in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick223 Rnd7 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 223 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
