After circling the position for what felt like forever, the Commanders committed. Caleb Williams is the quarterback now, and the roster gets built to his timeline.

The Sinnott pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over. The cornerback spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In the Round 1 slot they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
Tyler Guyton at the 36th overall pick is right where the board had him, plain and simple. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chris Braswell · LB-EDGE · rank 57
They paid a round early for Chris Braswell in pick No. 40, more than the board wanted. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 71
Brenden Rice in the 67th pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Darius Robinson · DL-EDGE · rank 121
They reached a country mile for Darius Robinson at slot 100, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Ben Sinnott · TE · rank 143
A big swing on Ben Sinnott at pick 102, well ahead of any board in the building. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 171
They left a pile of value on the table to take Frank Gore Jr. this early at No. 141. A need, and now a little less of one.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 177
A clean, defensible pick in Round 6, Pick 6 with a little surplus value in Jaylan Ford. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Isaiah Neyor · WR · rank 218
A tidy little value on Isaiah Neyor in Round 7, Pick 3, a step better than break-even. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
