They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Caleb Williams is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop.

The Logan Jr. reach is the anchor dragging on the value grade. If one pick saves this weekend, it is Devonshire.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped tight end, which is a strange place to end up.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.1 · Pick 1 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
Caleb Williams in the 1st pick is fair value, right on his grade. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Dallas Turner · LB-EDGE · rank 14
They will replay Dallas Turner at Round 2, Pick 4 for years; that is how good the value is. A need, and now a little less of one.
R2.17 · Pick 49 · Kool-Aid McKinstry · CB · rank 28
Kool-Aid McKinstry at the Round 2 slot is daylight robbery; nobody expected him to last. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Kiran Amegadjie · OT · rank 63
Nothing to complain about; Kiran Amegadjie went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.34 · Pick 97 · Blake Corum · RB · rank 86
Blake Corum in slot 97 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Malik Washington · WR · rank 96
A reasonable price with a little left over, Malik Washington in No. 102. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R4.32 · Pick 132 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 116
They let Cedric Gray come to them and pounced at the 132nd overall pick. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
Mohamed Kamara at pick No. 139 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.17 · Pick 153 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
You do not let an offensive lineman like Roger Rosengarten reach pick No. 153 and blink. They did not. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.23 · Pick 159 · Luke McCaffrey · WR · rank 149
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Luke McCaffrey at Round 5, Pick 23 is the proof. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R6.4 · Pick 179 · Kamal Hadden · CB · rank 169
Kamal Hadden is a better player than the Round 6 slot suggests; smart patience, rewarded. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.13 · Pick 188 · Fabien Lovett · DL · rank 183
Good price on Fabien Lovett in slot 188, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · M.J. Devonshire · CB · rank 191
Circle this one: M.J. Devonshire at the 222nd overall pick is a fall that decides a draft. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.32 · Pick 252 · Kenny Logan Jr. · S · rank 296
A real head-scratcher, Kenny Logan Jr. in No. 252 is miles ahead of his ranking. It adds depth where they could use a little.
