Give the war room a raise for the dealing alone. The Commanders came out ahead on every exchange that mattered, and it was not close.

They covered a lot of ground and still skipped quarterback, which is a strange place to end up. Whatever else happened, they won the night they took Bishop.

In sum, a sturdy weekend with one asterisk, the quarterback spot they never got to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.9 · Pick 9 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
No edge and no loss on Olumuyiwa Fashanu in the 9th overall pick; it is a wash and a sensible one. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 39
By-the-book stuff, Chop Robinson at slot 36 squarely in line with his ranking. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Kalen King · CB · rank 42
They took Kalen King at par in Round 2, Pick 8, which is nothing to complain about. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Jeremiah Trotter Jr. · LB · rank 61
Fair-plus on Jeremiah Trotter Jr., a quiet win that adds up over a draft. A minor itch, scratched.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Bucky Irving · RB · rank 92
Bucky Irving at pick 100 is the sort of value that quietly wins a weekend. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Blake Fisher · OT · rank 99
Nothing to complain about; Blake Fisher went a shade earlier than his grade, which is fine. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Cole Bishop · S · rank 128
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Cole Bishop at No. 141. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Trey Knox · TE · rank 176
Trey Knox at the 181st pick nudges the ledger their way without any fuss. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R7.3 · Pick 223 · Joshua Cephus · WR · rank 230
No drama and no debate, Joshua Cephus went about where he belonged in pick No. 223. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
