The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development.
If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through wide receiver. The Robinson steal is the beam this whole class leans on.
The dealing tilted against them, just enough to notice.
Nothing here to lose sleep over, and plenty to feel decent about.
Pick-by-Pick
In the Round 1 slot they get their guy under center for the next decade at fair value. A real need, handled.
In Round 1, Pick 27 they get a cornerstone up front. Exactly the need they had to hit.
Quietly one of the better values of the day, Chop Robinson at the 36th pick. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
Ja'Tavion Sanders at pick 40 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
A tidy little value on Kingsley Suamataia in the 67th overall pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
They let Jeremiah Trotter Jr. come to them and pounced at No. 78. Depth more than a fix, but depth they can use.
