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.
On value alone, Hadden makes the weekend a net positive. That tight end hole did not close this weekend, and it was the biggest one on the wall.
Good work on the whole, with tight end the one box left unchecked.
Pick-by-Pick
In pick 2 they get their guy under center for the next decade. A clean fit for the roster.
Tyler Guyton in slot 36 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
They let Bralen Trice come to them and pounced at the 48th pick. The roster fit checks out.
Edgerrin Cooper at No. 67 is money in the bank, a linebacker taken below his worth. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Sedrick Van Pran in Round 3, Pick 15 is the kind of reach that only looks good if he outplays it. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Khyree Jackson in the Round 3 slot is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
A top-tier wide receiver at a bargain, Roman Wilson in pick No. 102, plain and simple. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Value with a capital V on Jalyx Hunt in the 141st overall pick, a genuine coup. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
Somehow Kamal Hadden was still sitting there in the 181st overall pick, and they pounced on premier cornerback value. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
