The search is over. The Commanders handed the keys to Drake Maye, and the whole operation now runs on his development.

If Wiley pans out, nobody remembers the price. If not, this is the pick they hear about. The wide receiver spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

All told, a draft that does its job without fuss, and there is real value in that.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In the 2nd overall pick they get their quarterback of the future at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 34
Ja'Tavion Sanders in slot 36 is fair value, right on his grade. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Kingsley Suamataia · OT · rank 57
They jumped the gun on Kingsley Suamataia, taking him earlier than his grade liked. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Sedrick Van Pran · C · rank 77
A reach on Sedrick Van Pran in the 67th pick; the board had better options right there. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 104
Zak Zinter at No. 101 is right where the board had him, plain and simple. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Will Shipley · RB · rank 108
They paid sticker price for Will Shipley in Round 4, Pick 3, and that is fine. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
R5.2 · Pick 138 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 144
A straight-up fair deal on Tommy Eichenberg at the Round 5 slot, value and slot in agreement. A minor need, but a need all the same.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Jared Wiley · TE · rank 200
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Jared Wiley. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Javontae Jean-Baptiste · DE-EDGE · rank 229
They paid a round early for Javontae Jean-Baptiste in slot 220, more than the board wanted. The roster fit checks out.
