Commanders 2024 NFL Draft First-Round Prediction
Pick: No. 2 Overall
Player Prediction: Jayden Daniels - QB, LSU
DRAFT ANALYSIS: The Commanders already put down some breadcrumbs as to their game plan. They shipped QB Sam Howell over to the Seahawks for a bit of draft pick juggling, hinting at some big moves on the horizon. Despite sitting on a pretty fat wallet this free agency period, Washington's been more about the slow roll than the splurge.
They've brought in seasoned pros like RB Austin Ekeler, TE Zach Ertz, and MLB Bobby Wagner. Now, you might scratch your head at these adds given the team’s rebuilding vibe, but it's a classic move—stack the locker room with quality vets to set the stage for a rookie QB to come in and learn the ropes. Whether it's Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye calling the shots next, it seems the Commanders are crafting a support system that's part mentorship, part masterclass.

Pick: No. 23 Overall - projected trade with Minnesota Vikings
Player Prediction: Amarius Mims - OT, Georgia
DRAFT ANALYSIS: Washington's jumping on the tackle train before it runs out, snagging Mims as they sail through the draft. He's a young gun, not overflowing with experience but bursting with athletic prowess that could turn heads.
Despite battling injuries in 2023, whispers from the 2022 Peach Bowl, where he faced off against Ohio State's ruthless edge rushers, keep echoing 'elite potential.' With a treasure chest of picks, the Commanders snagging Mims to shield Jayden Daniels' blindside? That’s not just smart; it's a no-brainer for securing their QB's future. Times have changed in the nation's capital.
Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Second-Round Prediction
Pick: No. 40 Overall - via Chicago Bears
Player Prediction: Ennis Rakestraw Jr. - CB, Missouri
DRAFT ANALYSIS: Washington snagged this pick when it dealt edge-rusher Montez Sweat right before last year's trade deadline. The Commanders are looking at a roster with gaps wider than the Grand Canyon, so it’s time to stack up on solid talent. Enter Rakestraw, the kind of lengthy, physical cornerback that meshes perfectly with the defensive playbook of new head coach Dan Quinn.
His style could sharpen up Washington's defensive edge.
Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Third-Round Prediction
Pick: No. 78 Overall
Player Prediction: Javon Bullard - S, Georgia
Javon Bullard is a FS prospect in the 2024 draft class. He scored a 8.25 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 192 out of 1092 FS from 1987 to 2024. https://t.co/WICVbRnr76 pic.twitter.com/fAfeSoXRq0
