Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB+ NeedB TradesC+ FutureC
The Commanders let Giddens fall into their laps, and walked away with a B-.

The value of the weekend has a name and a slot: DJ Giddens, the Round 7 slot, roughly 73 picks past where he belonged.

They will need Griffith to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it. The Commanders indulged a want in Mukuba while a need in edge rusher stayed open.

They punted on edge rusher, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Commanders clearly valued win-now help, adding bodies who have done it before.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick Analysis
Pick36 Rnd2 Tyler Warren
Taking Tyler Warren in slot 36 is close to grand larceny; a tight end that good had no business lasting this long. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick37 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Nick Emmanwori at the 37th overall pick is the proof. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
Pick61 Rnd2 Aireontae Ersery
Aireontae Ersery at pick No. 61 is money in the bank, a offensive lineman taken below his worth. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
Pick79 Rnd3 Jayden Higgins
The board had Jayden Higgins higher than pick 79, and the wide receiver fell to them anyway. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick80 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Good price on Darien Porter in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick94 Rnd3 Danny Stutsman
Nice patience on Danny Stutsman, who had no business lasting to the 94th pick. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick95 Rnd3 Andrew Mukuba
A want over a need in No. 95: Andrew Mukuba adds a safety while edge rusher keeps waiting.
Pick103 Rnd4 Savion Williams
They let Savion Williams come to them and pounced at Round 4, Pick 2. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick132 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 132 with a little surplus value in Darius Alexander. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick207 Rnd6 Oronde Gadsden II
Oronde Gadsden II at the Round 6 slot is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick210 Rnd6 Tyler Shough
They will replay Tyler Shough at slot 210 for years; that is how good the value is. It fills a real need, too.
Pick234 Rnd7 Clay Webb
Clay Webb at No. 234 is a clear overpay, with better names still on the board. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
Pick238 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
DJ Giddens in pick 238 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Pick250 Rnd7 Kaden Prather
Kaden Prather in the 250th overall pick is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick256 Rnd7 Thor Griffith
They talked themselves into Thor Griffith at the 256th pick, and the board did not agree. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
