Washington Commanders

The Commanders found their guy under center in Maye: A.

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. A near-flawless weekend of work, and a A to cap it.

The cost of the Turner reach is exactly the players who went right after him. The dealing alone would carry a lesser class.

If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through running back. That is an offensive lineman worth more than the slot they spent on him, plainly.

It is a haul that will look even better come September.

Pick-by-Pick

R1.5 · Pick 5 · Joe Alt · OT · rank 3
In Round 1, Pick 5 they get a blindside protector. It fills the loudest need on the roster.
R1.7 · Pick 7 · Brock Bowers · TE · rank 6
Brock Bowers in the 7th overall pick is exactly on the number, no argument either way. It also answers one of the loudest questions on the roster.
R1.8 · Pick 8 · Drake Maye · QB · rank 5
In pick No. 8 they get the face of the franchise at fair value. A clean fit for the roster.
R1.10 · Pick 10 · Olumuyiwa Fashanu · OT · rank 10
In slot 10 they get an anchor for the offensive line at fair value. Exactly the need they had to hit.
R1.15 · Pick 15 · Rome Odunze · WR · rank 11
A reasonable price with a little left over, Rome Odunze in No. 15. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
R2.3 · Pick 35 · Terrion Arnold · CB · rank 22
They read the board right and Terrion Arnold was the payoff at pick 35. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
R2.4 · Pick 36 · Kamari Lassiter · CB · rank 27
Good things come to war rooms that wait, and Kamari Lassiter at the Round 2 slot is the proof. The biggest hole on the depth chart just got a whole lot smaller.
R2.6 · Pick 38 · Troy Franklin · WR · rank 31
A tidy little value on Troy Franklin in the 38th pick, a step better than break-even. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
R2.8 · Pick 40 · Emeka Egbuka · WR · rank 32
Emeka Egbuka slipping to the 40th overall pick is the kind of luck good rooms make for themselves. Better still, it is exactly the hole they had to fill.
R2.11 · Pick 43 · Amarius Mims · OT · rank 20
They will replay Amarius Mims at No. 43 for years; that is how good the value is. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
R2.14 · Pick 46 · Adonai Mitchell · WR · rank 39
A clean, defensible pick in pick No. 46 with a little surplus value in Adonai Mitchell. They walked in needing this and walked out with it.
R3.3 · Pick 67 · Denzel Burke · CB · rank 48
The board fumbled Denzel Burke all the way to slot 67, and they scooped it up. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
R3.37 · Pick 100 · Brenden Rice · WR · rank 82
They robbed the room for Brenden Rice here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
R4.2 · Pick 102 · Beau Brade · S · rank 115
The board had cheaper options than Beau Brade at pick 102, and it noticed. A quiet depth add at a thin-ish spot.
R4.3 · Pick 103 · Shemar Turner · DL-EDGE · rank 137
The board screamed and they did not listen, reaching into the next round for Shemar Turner. A sensible fit that makes the depth chart a little sturdier.
R4.5 · Pick 105 · Tommy Eichenberg · LB · rank 109
They took Tommy Eichenberg at par in the 105th pick, which is nothing to complain about. It adds depth where they could use a little.
R5.5 · Pick 141 · Tyler Batty · DL-EDGE · rank 164
Tyler Batty at pick No. 141 is the kind of overdraft that needs everything to break right. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
