The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Caleb Williams, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through tight end. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 5 of 8 of the wish list covered.

The offense got the lion's share of the attention.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In pick 2 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Troy Fautanu · OT · rank 29
A reasonable price with a little left over, Troy Fautanu in the 36th overall pick. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Bralen Trice · DE-EDGE · rank 37
Nothing to complain about; Bralen Trice went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 68
No edge and no loss on Brenden Rice in the 67th pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 104
Khyree Jackson at No. 101 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Beau Brade · S · rank 110
Beau Brade at Round 4, Pick 3 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
