The phones were a trap the Commanders kept walking into, shipping out surplus on nearly every deal.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The edge rusher hole is the one line item this class does not answer.

The Owens steal is the beam this whole class leans on. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.

In the end, a class the front office will want to grow past quickly.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
Caleb Williams in slot 2 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R1.29 · Pick 29 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 22
In pick No. 29 they get a blindside protector. The biggest hole, addressed.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 24
A slide stopped in pick 36, with Terrion Arnold worth more than the price. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 36
Keon Coleman at No. 40 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 59
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in the 67th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R3.29 · Pick 92 · Cade Stover · TE · rank 85
Cade Stover at the 92nd overall pick is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.36 · Pick 99 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 104
No edge and no loss on Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R5.30 · Pick 166 · Trevor Keegan · OG · rank 162
A clean, defensible pick in Round 5, Pick 30 with a little surplus value in Trevor Keegan. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.3 · Pick 178 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 165
A tidy bit of business in the 178th pick, where Luke McCaffrey graded well above the range. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.12 · Pick 187 · Dwight McGlothern · CB · rank 175
They read the board right and Dwight McGlothern was the payoff at the 187th overall pick. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Tyrice Knight · LB · rank 216
Tyrice Knight in slot 222 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. A luxury on a unit that was already in good shape.
R7.12 · Pick 232 · Michael Barrett · LB · rank 218
Michael Barrett slipping to pick 232 is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
R7.31 · Pick 251 · Tyler Owens · S · rank 228
Tyler Owens at No. 251 is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
