I certainly won’t be the first person to mention the dismal results obtained from Ron Rivera’s four first-round picks: Chase Young, Jamin Davis, Jahan Dotson, and Emmanuel Forbes. While Young was the consensus pick in the 2020 draft, the other three picks, who have each subsequently struggled to perform at a high level in Washington, all seem to have resulted from GM Ron Rivera trying to be ‘the smartest guy in the room’.
With Jahan Dotson being traded to the Eagles on Thursday, only Davis — who is undergoing either cross-training or a full-on position change in an effort to add value to his on-field play — and second-year cornerback Emmanuel Forbes remain on the Commanders roster.
