The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Caleb Williams, and the whole operation now runs on his development. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

If one pick saves this weekend, it is Gadsden II. They will need Suamataia to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped running back, which is a strange place to end up.

Wide receiver is handled and the depth chart looks a good deal healthier for it.

Bottom line, more hits than misses and a roster nudged the right way.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Caleb Williams · QB · rank 2
In slot 2 they get their quarterback of the future. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.2 · Pick 34 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 56
Kingsley Suamataia at the 34th pick is a steep price for a hunch, hard to square with any board. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.10 · Pick 42 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 46
They took Jeremiah Trotter Jr. at par in the 42nd overall pick, which is nothing to complain about. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.2 · Pick 66 · Kamren Kinchens · S · rank 73
Kamren Kinchens at pick 66 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Adisa Isaac · DE-EDGE · rank 97
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 100 with a little surplus value in Adisa Isaac. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 104
Cam Hart in No. 102 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Theo Wease · WR · rank 133
A reasonable price with a little left over, Theo Wease in Round 5, Pick 3. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R6.5 · Pick 180 · Jack Nelson · OT · rank 174
Jack Nelson in the Round 6 slot lands just on the right side of the ledger. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Oronde Gadsden II · TE · rank 203
Oronde Gadsden II in slot 223 is a gift, value that borders on unfair. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
