The Commanders did not reach, did not trade up, did not blink. They just waited, and Tykee Smith fell into slot 222.

The whole projection now runs through Caleb Williams; hit there and everything else looks smarter. The trade ledger is the best part of the whole weekend.

They are betting Suamataia proves the room right and everyone else wrong. That edge rusher hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.

Add it up and few war rooms did better this weekend, Caleb Williams and all.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In pick 5 they get the arm they will build around. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
Kingsley Suamataia at pick No. 36 is the pick scouts circle, and not in a good way. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.5 · Pick 37 · Keon Coleman · WR · rank 41
No edge and no loss on Keon Coleman in pick No. 37; it is a wash and a sensible one. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Ennis Rakestraw Jr. · CB · rank 35
Ennis Rakestraw Jr. in Round 2, Pick 8 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 63
A reasonable price with a little left over, Kiran Amegadjie in No. 67. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Christian Mahogany · OG · rank 100
Christian Mahogany in the 100th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 116
The board had cheaper options than Cedric Gray at the Round 4 slot, and it noticed. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 130
Ben Sinnott at the 139th overall pick is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.4 · Pick 140 · Beau Brade · S · rank 134
A clean, defensible pick in pick 140 with a little surplus value in Beau Brade. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Jase McClellan · RB · rank 196
A premium they did not need to pay, Jase McClellan a notch or two before his time. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
They barely believed it either: Tykee Smith still on the board at the 222nd overall pick. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
