The draft has come and gone and as usual, the Commanders had a needs draft. Unfortunately, those needs were not all met with the seven picks they used, still leaving some holes on the current roster. There is no doubt some veterans will be released in the coming days/weeks, and that should free up some cash, and roster spots, for Ron Rivera and company to add some veteran talent to the roster.
With Washington’s seven draft picks, they essentially addressed two positional groups of need - defensive back and center. The staff essentially ignored guard, linebacker, and tight end (although the coaches may feel comfortable with a committee approach here).

QB - Sam Howell, Jacoby Brissett
