Start where it matters. The Commanders took Drake Maye to run the offense for the next decade, and every other decision this weekend bends around that one.

The Phillips pick is the one they will point to when this weekend is judged. They will need Hartman to outplay his draft slot in a hurry to justify it.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.10 · Pick 10 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In the 10th pick they get a long-term answer under center. A real need, handled.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Jordan Morgan · OT · rank 37
No edge and no loss on Jordan Morgan in slot 36; it is a wash and a sensible one. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 31
They read the board right and Adonai Mitchell was the payoff at No. 39. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.20 · Pick 52 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 61
The board had cheaper options than Kingsley Suamataia at Round 2, Pick 20, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Xavier Legette · WR · rank 38
Somehow Xavier Legette was still sitting there in the 67th overall pick, and they pounced on premier wide receiver value. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.8 · Pick 72 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 69
Good price on Patrick Paul in the Round 3 slot, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R3.26 · Pick 89 · Khyree Jackson · CB · rank 95
Khyree Jackson in pick 89 is exactly on the number, no argument either way. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Cedric Gray · LB · rank 113
They went early on Cedric Gray in pick No. 100, and the value did not follow. Useful body for a position without much behind the starter.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Theo Johnson · TE · rank 122
They reached into another round for Theo Johnson, and the board is nowhere close to agreeing. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.11 · Pick 111 · MarShawn Lloyd · RB · rank 97
Nice patience on MarShawn Lloyd, who had no business lasting to Round 4, Pick 11. A sensible fit for a spot that needed help.
R4.15 · Pick 115 · DeWayne Carter · DT · rank 101
The board had DeWayne Carter higher than No. 115, and the interior defensive lineman fell to them anyway. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
R4.17 · Pick 117 · Johnny Wilson · WR · rank 125
A conviction pick on Johnny Wilson at pick No. 117 that the board grades a round light. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R4.25 · Pick 125 · Mohamed Kamara · DL-EDGE · rank 133
They paid a round early for Mohamed Kamara in the 125th pick, more than the board wanted. It plugs a real leak on the depth chart.
R5.16 · Pick 152 · Andru Phillips · CB · rank 102
You do not let a cornerback like Andru Phillips reach slot 152 and blink. They did not. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.8 · Pick 183 · Myles Cole · DE-EDGE · rank 197
They liked Myles Cole enough to skip the value, taking him in the 183rd overall pick. The roster fit checks out.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Trevin Wallace · LB · rank 233
A reach on Trevin Wallace in pick 220; the board had better options right there. Depth on depth, at a spot that was hardly crying out.
R7.2 · Pick 222 · Sam Hartman · QB · rank 258
Sam Hartman in No. 222 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
