The Commanders traded for Laremy Tunsil and Deebo Samuel this offseason to further aid the development of superstar sophomore QB Jayden Daniels. Deebo is a perfect scheme fit for Kliff Kingsbury's horizontal raid, and Tunsil should buy Daniels a few more ticks to uncork the deep ball, one of his very best traits.
That's where Matthew Golden comes in. The speedy Texas wideout had the fastest forty time at the Combine but wasn't the most consistently productive receiver at Houston or Texas during his time in college. He's an excellent route runner who creates separation, however, and that's the name of the game in today's NFL. If he's available when the Commanders are on the clock, they shouldn't think twice about calling in the pick.
On Day 2, the effort turns to recouping some of the draft capital they sent away to acquire the aforementioned veterans, Tunsil and Samuel. They phone a friend in the Bay, slide back 15 spots, and pick up two Day 3 picks in the process to add depth to their aging defense.
With the 75th pick in the draft, they select the heir apparent to Bobby Wagner in Demetrius Knight Jr., a mature, throwback of a middle linebacker with similar measurables, mettle, and mental to learn from the future Hall of Famer.
