They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop. The bottom line is a respectable B.

Landing Mahogany that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped interior defensive lineman, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but interior defensive lineman.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In pick 2 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 34
Chop Robinson in slot 36 is fair value, right on his grade. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 35
A quiet steal in the Round 2 slot: Xavier Legette for less than the market said. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 53
Nice patience on Kingsley Suamataia, who had no business lasting to the 67th pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 78
Circle this one: Christian Mahogany at the 101st overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Mason McCormick · OT · rank 98
Mason McCormick in No. 103 is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R4.13 · Pick 113 · DJ James · CB · rank 114
They paid sticker price for DJ James in pick No. 113, and that is fine. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 136
Cedric Gray in Round 5, Pick 2 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.11 · Pick 147 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 159
Braelon Allen at slot 147 jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Delmar Glaze · C · rank 180
A market-rate offensive lineman, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Delmar Glaze. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Erick All · TE · rank 230
Erick All at the 220th pick is a conviction pick that outran the value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
