Washington Commanders

The Commanders drew a line under the quarterback search with Williams: B.

Future B-

The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Turner at that cost is the sort of edge that compounds over a roster. A whole weekend of picks and tight end is somehow still a want. Spending an early pick on OLB-EDGE with tight end and interior defensive lineman open is the decision the grade keeps circling back to.

The Foster reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In slot 2 they get a long-term answer under center. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 15
They barely believed it either: Dallas Turner still on the board at the 36th overall pick. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.9 · Pick 41 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 42
A straight-up fair deal on Chris Braswell at the 41st pick, value and slot in agreement. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 75
Cooper Beebe in Round 3, Pick 3 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 81
Circle this one: Khyree Jackson at No. 101 is a fall that decides a draft. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Javon Foster · OT · rank 119
They liked Javon Foster enough to skip the value, taking him in pick No. 103. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.27 · Pick 127 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 113
They bypassed pressing needs at tight end and interior defensive lineman to take Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE that was not the priority.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 127
A slide stopped in pick 138, with Johnny Wilson worth more than the price. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Isaac Guerendo · RB · rank 177
A clean, defensible pick in pick 181 with a little surplus value in Isaac Guerendo. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 217
They did well to land Michael Barrett in pick No. 220, just ahead of his grade. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
