The one hole that towered over the rest is filled. The Commanders spent their marquee pick on Drake Maye, and for the first time in a while there is a real answer at quarterback.

Devonshire falling to them is the kind of break a good board is built to catch. They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up.

In short, they left a little better than they arrived, which is the whole idea.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 31
Adonai Mitchell in pick No. 36 lands just on the right side of the ledger. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Javon Bullard · S · rank 42
No edge and no loss on Javon Bullard in pick 40; it is a wash and a sensible one. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R3.7 · Pick 71 · Cade Stover · TE · rank 74
Cade Stover at slot 71 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R3.14 · Pick 78 · Max Melton · CB · rank 76
A market-rate cornerback, with the board and the slot shaking hands on Max Melton. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Cam Hart · CB · rank 100
A straight-up fair deal on Cam Hart at Round 3, Pick 37, value and slot in agreement. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Spencer Rattler · QB · rank 117
Circle this one: Spencer Rattler at the 138th pick is a fall that decides a draft. The roster fit checks out.
R5.3 · Pick 139 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 135
Roger Rosengarten in the 139th overall pick is fine work, a shade of surplus and no downside. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Tykee Smith · S · rank 160
They paid up for Tykee Smith at slot 152 when waiting would have done the job. Stacking talent where they were already deep.
R5.26 · Pick 162 · Dillon Johnson · RB · rank 167
They took Dillon Johnson at par in the Round 5 slot, which is nothing to complain about. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · M.J. Devonshire · CB · rank 191
The board fumbled M.J. Devonshire all the way to No. 222, and they scooped it up. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R7.6 · Pick 226 · Jaylan Ford · LB · rank 205
They barely believed it either: Jaylan Ford still on the board at Round 7, Pick 6. A minor itch, scratched.
