How will the Washington Commanders improve heading into 2024?
In ESPN’s Jordan Reid‘s final seven-round 2024 mock draft, the Washington Commanders will kickstart their rebuild around reigning Heisman Trophy winner, Jayden Daniels.
Washington Commanders Projected Draft Selections
Round 1, Pick 2: Jayden Daniels, QB, LSU
“This pick will likely come down to Daniels and UNC’s Drake Maye. But considering the Commanders’ veteran additions this offseason, they seem to believe they can win right now while still establishing a foundation for the future. Daniels is the guy who gives them the best chance for early success, showing excellent deep-ball passing and rushing ability. He averaged 11.7 yards per pass attempt last season and threw 40 TDs.”
Round 2, Pick 40: Adisa Isaac, EDGE, Penn State
“Washington brought in veterans Dante Fowler Jr., Dorance Armstrong and Clelin Ferrell this offseason, but how about some youth at the edge position? Isaac can grow into a starting role here. He has great closing burst and had 7.5 sacks last season.”
Round 3, Pick 67: Kamari Lassiter, CB, Georgia
“Corner help is needed — especially because Benjamin St-Juste is only under contract for one more season — and Lassiter is tough and physical. He broke up eight passes last season.”
Round 3, Pick 100: Marshawn Lloyd, RB, USC
“We close out Day 2 with Lloyd, who would be more competition for a running back room in Washington that already includes Brian Robinson Jr. and newly signed Austin Ekeler. Lloyd rushed for 18 TDs over the past two seasons.”
With their final three selections, ESPN has the Washington Commanders selecting Texas A&M wide receiver, Ainias Smith (139), Illinois tight end, Tip Reiman (152), and Florida center, Kingsley Eguakun (222).
