They finally answered the question that shadows every other one. Drake Maye is the Commanders' quarterback, full stop.

The Allen value carries more weight than any single miss elsewhere. For all the activity, wide receiver went untouched, which is hard to explain.

A competent weekend that does not make headlines and does not need to.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.7 · Pick 7 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In Round 1, Pick 7 they get a passer to set the clock by at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.7 · Pick 39 · Tyler Nubin · S · rank 30
They read the board right and Tyler Nubin was the payoff at pick 39. Not urgent, but hardly pointless.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Patrick Paul · OT · rank 48
Patrick Paul in the Round 2 slot is early enough to raise a brow, if not a full objection. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.15 · Pick 47 · T.J. Tampa · CB · rank 39
T.J. Tampa in No. 47 is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Brandon Dorlus · DE-EDGE · rank 56
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Brandon Dorlus at the 67th overall pick is the proof. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
A reasonable price with a little left over, Zak Zinter in pick No. 102. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
The board had Tommy Eichenberg higher than slot 141, and the linebacker fell to them anyway. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.8 · Pick 144 · Jaheim Bell · TE · rank 140
Good price on Jaheim Bell in the 144th pick, a hair ahead of his grade with no real quibbles. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Braelon Allen · RB · rank 155
They barely believed it either: Braelon Allen still on the board at pick No. 181. It fills a real need, too.
R7.8 · Pick 228 · Darius Muasau · LB · rank 223
They did well to land Darius Muasau in the Round 7 slot, just ahead of his grade. They added to a strength when a need was still open elsewhere.
