Draft Grade — Commanders
Overall B-
ValueB- NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
Larceny in pick No. 207 lands the Commanders a B-, Giddens and all.

The Commanders spent the weekend waiting on one name, and it fell: DJ Giddens, the No. 165 name on the board, in slot 207. Nothing here to lose sleep over; call it a B-.

They punted on wide receiver, and it is the miss that keeps the grade honest. The Hemingway pick is the one the value grade keeps tripping over.

On the needs board they went 5 of 8, with cornerback the one that mattered most.

Not a headline-grabber, but a perfectly good weekend's work.

Pick Analysis
Pick29 Rnd1 Mike Green
A market-rate edge rusher, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Mike Green. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
Pick61 Rnd2 Maxwell Hairston
Maxwell Hairston at pick 61 is a conviction pick that outran the value. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
Pick79 Rnd3 Donovan Jackson
Donovan Jackson at the Round 3 slot is right where the board had him, plain and simple. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
Pick207 Rnd6 DJ Giddens
You do not let a running back like DJ Giddens reach the 207th overall pick and blink. They did not. A need, and now a little less of one.
Pick238 Rnd7 Tonka Hemingway
They went early on Tonka Hemingway in slot 238, and the value did not follow. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick250 Rnd7 Cody Lindenberg
Cody Lindenberg at Round 7, Pick 32 nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. A minor need, but a need all the same.
