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

Every board in the league had Eichenberg lower, and that gap is the story. Landing Mustapha that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. The running back spot stays a question, and it was the one they most needed an answer at.

Good work on the whole, with running back the one box left unchecked.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.2 · Pick 2 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In the Round 1 slot they get their quarterback of the future. A real need, handled.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Chop Robinson · DE-EDGE · rank 35
They did well to land Chop Robinson in pick 40, just ahead of his grade. It patches a soft spot without any drama.
R2.31 · Pick 63 · Ja'Tavion Sanders · TE · rank 54
Value with a capital V on Ja'Tavion Sanders in pick No. 63, a genuine coup. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Cooper Beebe · OG · rank 77
The board had cheaper options than Cooper Beebe at slot 67, and it noticed. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R3.35 · Pick 98 · Zak Zinter · OG · rank 95
A tidy little value on Zak Zinter in the 98th overall pick, a step better than break-even. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R4.1 · Pick 101 · Sataoa Laumea · OT · rank 122
They talked themselves into Sataoa Laumea at No. 101, and the board did not agree. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 127
A real head-scratcher, Tommy Eichenberg in Round 4, Pick 3 is miles ahead of his ranking. Useful depth more than a marquee fix.
R5.19 · Pick 155 · Malik Mustapha · S · rank 139
They let Malik Mustapha come to them and pounced at the 155th pick. It thickens a room that could stand to be thicker.
R6.6 · Pick 181 · Roger Rosengarten · OT · rank 175
A reasonable price with a little left over, Roger Rosengarten in the 181st pick. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R6.24 · Pick 199 · De'Corian Clark · WR · rank 200
No drama and no debate, De'Corian Clark went about where he belonged in the Round 6 slot. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R6.45 · Pick 220 · Myles Jones · CB · rank 214
Myles Jones at Round 6, Pick 45 is a sound buy, the sort that quietly helps a class. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
R7.36 · Pick 256 · Chad Lindberg · C · rank 260
They took Chad Lindberg at par in No. 256, which is nothing to complain about. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
