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.
Williams falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.
Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get a passer to set the clock by. A clean fit for the roster.
They let Amarius Mims come to them and pounced at pick No. 36. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
A conviction pick on Jackson Powers-Johnson at No. 40 that the board grades a round light. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Chris Braswell in the 67th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in the 100th overall pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Marshawn Kneeland at slot 102 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The roster fit checks out.
Ben Sinnott in Round 5, Pick 5 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
The board fumbled James Williams all the way to pick 181, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
A slide stopped in the 223rd overall pick, with Jawhar Jordan worth more than the price. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
