Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B+
ValueB NeedB TradesA+ FutureB-
The Commanders bet the future on Williams. The board says B+.

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.

Every deal seemed to tilt their way, which is not luck. Leaving wide receiver unaddressed is the roster risk they will have to answer for in the fall.

Add it up and it is a good, unfussy class.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In slot 2 they get the face of the franchise. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick25 Rnd1 Jordan Morgan
In Round 1, Pick 25 they get a blindside protector at fair value. The biggest hole, addressed.
Pick36 Rnd2 Kalen King
They paid sticker price for Kalen King in the 36th overall pick, and that is fine. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick91 Rnd3 Marist Liufau
They did well to land Marist Liufau in the 91st pick, just ahead of his grade. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick101 Rnd4 Zak Zinter
A clean, defensible pick in the Round 4 slot with a little surplus value in Zak Zinter. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick103 Rnd4 Tykee Smith
Tykee Smith at No. 103 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. A minor need, but a need all the same.
Pick138 Rnd5 Jaheim Bell
Jaheim Bell in pick 138 is fair value, right on his grade. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick181 Rnd6 Frank Gore Jr.
Nothing to complain about; Frank Gore Jr. went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick220 Rnd6 Jowon Briggs
A market-rate DT-EDGE, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Jowon Briggs. Need-wise, a curious use of the pick.
