The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape.
The McGlothern value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. They will regret leaving wide receiver for another day if the season turns on it. Wiley has a lot of ground to make up just to look fairly priced.
A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.
Pick-by-Pick
In the 2nd pick they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
A tidy bit of business in the 36th overall pick, where Amarius Mims graded well above the range. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Kool-Aid McKinstry in the Round 2 slot is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
A slide stopped in No. 67, with Kingsley Suamataia worth more than the price. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
A offensive lineman of that caliber at Round 4, Pick 1 is the definition of value, full stop. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Jonah Elliss is a better player than pick No. 103 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Cedric Gray at slot 138 is the proof. A minor itch, scratched.
They reached a country mile for Jared Wiley at pick 181, and the board is aghast. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Dwight McGlothern at the 220th overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
