Kain Medrano is an athlete and smart player that fits the modern of what the @Commanders want on defense. His skill tests were in the top 10 percentile of all linebackers in Indianapolis at the Combine. #NFL #RaiseHail pic.twitter.com/1hR7gYyoxe

Commanders picked UCLA LB Kain Medrano at 6-205.

Similar gamble to Dom Hampton from last year. pic.twitter.com/Zz627DV0AU
