Start where it matters. The Commanders took Caleb Williams to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through cornerback. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Liufau.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In No. 2 they get a long-term answer under center at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 27
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Jordan Morgan at the 36th pick is the proof. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 34
Good price on Chris Braswell in pick 40, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 71
No drama and no debate, Brenden Rice went about where he belonged in pick No. 67. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 94
Zak Zinter in the Round 3 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Marist Liufau · LB · rank 86
Marist Liufau at the 102nd overall pick is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 135
Jaheim Bell at Round 5, Pick 5 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the tight end. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Josh Proctor · S · rank 183
Josh Proctor in slot 181 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Dylan McMahon · C · rank 234
Dylan McMahon at pick 223 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
