The best pick of the weekend was also the simplest. The Commanders watched Kamal Hadden slide 85 picks past his grade and did not hesitate.

So much rides on Caleb Williams that the rest of the class almost grades on a curve behind him. The Commanders indulged a want in Solomon while a need in tight end and interior defensive lineman stayed open.

They punted on tight end, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest.

All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but tight end.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In pick No. 2 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Tyler Guyton · OT · rank 40
A straight-up fair deal on Tyler Guyton at No. 36, value and slot in agreement. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Jackson Powers-Johnson · C · rank 51
Jackson Powers-Johnson at the Round 2 slot jumps the queue by a touch more than is comfortable. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 71
Brenden Rice at slot 67 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Marshawn Kneeland · DE-EDGE · rank 104
No drama and no debate, Marshawn Kneeland went about where he belonged in the 100th overall pick. A need, and now a little less of one.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Javon Solomon · OLB-EDGE · rank 108
A surprising call. With tight end and interior defensive lineman still to address, they spent pick No. 102 on Javon Solomon, an OLB-EDGE they were not short of.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 130
MarShawn Lloyd at pick 141 is money in the bank, a running back taken below his worth. It fills a real need, too.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Frank Gore Jr. · RB · rank 171
Value with a capital V on Frank Gore Jr. in Round 6, Pick 6, a genuine coup. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 138
Kamal Hadden at No. 223 is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
