Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B
ValueB NeedB TradesB FutureB
A solid, sensible weekend for the Commanders: B.

The Commanders went off the board in a big way for Bhayshul Tuten, 39 picks early. Conviction is one thing; this is another.

Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Giddens. The tight end spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

The dealing nudged the ledger their way without much fuss.

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

Pick Analysis
Pick45 Rnd2 Jalon Walker
You do not let a linebacker like Jalon Walker reach slot 45 and blink. They did not. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
Pick78 Rnd3 Darien Porter
Darien Porter at Round 3, Pick 14 is neither steal nor reach, just the going rate. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick82 Rnd3 Savion Williams
They liked Savion Williams enough to skip the value, taking him in No. 82. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick99 Rnd3 Kevin Winston Jr.
Kevin Winston Jr. in pick No. 99 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
Pick105 Rnd4 Darius Alexander
Darius Alexander slid further than he should have, and pick 105 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
Pick115 Rnd4 Bhayshul Tuten
They reached a country mile for Bhayshul Tuten at the 115th pick, and the board is aghast. The roster fit checks out.
Pick175 Rnd5 Kyle Williams
Kyle Williams at slot 175 is a sensible buy, a touch better than market for the wide receiver. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick205 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
They will replay DJ Giddens at No. 205 for years; that is how good the value is. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick232 Rnd7 Caleb Ransaw
Caleb Ransaw at the 232nd overall pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. They doubled down on a strength rather than a need.
Pick245 Rnd7 Donovan Smith
Donovan Smith at the 245th pick is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
