NFL draft analyst says Commanders had one of the most impactful classes
The Washington Commanders held nine picks in the 2024 NFL draft, including the No. 2 overall pick. That meant the Commanders had a chance to change the course of their future with one draft class. That's exactly what happened behind quarterback Jayden Daniels and others, giving Washington a solid young core to build around.
Unfortunately, the Commanders held only five picks in the 2025 NFL draft. Of course, Washington used several picks to acquire impactful veteran starters Marshon Lattimore, Deebo Samuel, and Laremy Tunsil. Because of their surprising season, the Commanders would not have their first pick until 29th overall.
