Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueA- NeedB+ TradesB- FutureB-
The Commanders cashed the board's mistake on Giddens: B.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: DJ Giddens, the No. 165 name on the board, in Round 7, Pick 20. Good, not great, and the B says as much.

They are betting Webb proves the room right and everyone else wrong. They will regret leaving cornerback for another day if the season turns on it. On the needs board they went 4 of 8, with wide receiver the one that mattered most.

Good work on the whole, with cornerback the one box left unchecked.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Matthew Golden
In No. 29 they get a true top target, outstanding value to boot. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Pick61 Rnd2 Nick Emmanwori
They robbed the room for Nick Emmanwori here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick79 Rnd3 Mason Taylor
They took Mason Taylor at par in the 79th pick, which is nothing to complain about. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick207 Rnd6 Clay Webb
They left a pile of value on the table to take Clay Webb this early at pick 207. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick238 Rnd7 DJ Giddens
Taking DJ Giddens in the Round 7 slot is close to grand larceny; a running back that good had no business lasting this long. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick250 Rnd7 Chimere Dike
A wide receiver of that caliber at Round 7, Pick 32 is the definition of value, full stop. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
