Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall C+
ValueB NeedB TradesD FutureC
The Commanders bet the future on Williams. The board says C+.

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. The final tally is a middling C+.

The Jenkins pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. For all the activity, cornerback went untouched, which is hard to explain. If Cephus pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about.

If Caleb Williams and a couple of the gambles land, hindsight will be kinder than this grade.

Pick Analysis
Pick1 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In the 1st pick they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Kris Jenkins
You do not let an edge rusher like Kris Jenkins reach pick No. 67 and blink. They did not. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick100 Rnd3 Zak Zinter
Zak Zinter at No. 100 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick102 Rnd4 Matt Goncalves
Matt Goncalves in slot 102 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick141 Rnd5 Ben Sinnott
They paid sticker price for Ben Sinnott in pick 141, and that is fine. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Fair-plus on Jaylan Ford, a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick223 Rnd7 Joshua Cephus
They jumped the gun on Joshua Cephus, taking him earlier than his grade liked. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick224 Rnd7 Jalen Berger
Circle this one: Jalen Berger at the Round 7 slot is a fall that decides a draft. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
