Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
A passer of the future in Williams, and a B, for the Commanders.

The Commanders spent the pick that matters most on Caleb Williams, and a roster that has been waiting on a passer can start to take shape. It does the job without flash, and the B reflects it.

The Davis steal is the beam this whole class leans on. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A workmanlike haul that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick No. 2 they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jared Verse
Taking Jared Verse in the 36th pick is close to grand larceny; an edge rusher that good had no business lasting this long. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
Pick40 Rnd2 Patrick Paul
Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot is fair value, right on his grade. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick67 Rnd3 Zach Frazier
A straight-up fair deal on Zach Frazier at No. 67, value and slot in agreement. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick100 Rnd3 Johnny Wilson
Circle this one: Johnny Wilson at pick 100 is a fall that decides a draft. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick102 Rnd4 Christian Haynes
The board fumbled Christian Haynes all the way to slot 102, and they scooped it up. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ray Davis
Ray Davis in the 141st overall pick should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick181 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Frank Gore Jr. slid further than he should have, and Round 6, Pick 6 is lovely value for the running back. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick223 Rnd7 Jared Wiley
Somehow Jared Wiley was still sitting there in pick No. 223, and they pounced on premier tight end value. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
