Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Williams is the plan now, and the Commanders grade out a 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. Good, not great, and the B- says as much.

The Commanders indulged a want in Knight while a need in wide receiver, tight end and other spots stayed open. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped wide receiver, which is a strange place to end up.

They will need Knight to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.

Pick Analysis
Pick2 Rnd1 Caleb Williams
In pick 2 they get the arm they will build around. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick36 Rnd2 Jordan Morgan
A quiet steal in the 36th overall pick: Jordan Morgan for less than the market said. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick40 Rnd2 Jackson Powers-Johnson
A conviction pick on Jackson Powers-Johnson at the 40th pick that the board grades a round light. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick67 Rnd3 Jeremiah Trotter Jr.
Jeremiah Trotter Jr. in No. 67 lands just on the right side of the ledger. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
Pick100 Rnd3 Tyrice Knight
They bypassed pressing needs at wide receiver, tight end and other spots to take Tyrice Knight, a linebacker that was not the priority.
Pick102 Rnd4 Dominick Puni
By-the-book stuff, Dominick Puni at Round 4, Pick 2 squarely in line with his ranking. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick141 Rnd5 James Williams
Good price on James Williams in pick No. 141, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
Pick181 Rnd6 Jaylan Ford
Jaylan Ford at the Round 6 slot is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. Nice player, but the depth chart did not need him here.
Pick223 Rnd7 Myles Jones
Myles Jones is a better player than No. 223 suggests; smart patience, rewarded. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
