The 2024 NFL combine begins Monday in Indianapolis, and the Washington Commanders will be front and center.
The Commanders have an owner (Josh Harris) who took in July, a new general manager (Adam Peters), a new head coach (Dan Quinn), the most cap space in the NFL, and hold the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
Washington is expected to take a quarterback second overall and will likely decide between Caleb Williams, Drake Maye and Jayden Daniels. Williams is expected to go No. 1 overall to Chicago, so the choice should come down to Maye or Daniels.
In addition to the second overall pick, Washington has nine overall selections, including six of the first 103 selections.
We will learn a lot about several draft prospects at this week’s combine. But before the combine begins, using the PFF mock draft simulator, Commanders Wire did a seven-round mock draft for Washington.
Here are all nine picks.

The Commanders get their guy. Maye has the size, athleticism, arm strength, intangibles and ceiling to be a long-term franchise quarterback.

The Commanders get value here in Morgan due to the depth of the offensive tackle class. In most drafts, Morgan probably lands in the first round. He has the size, experience and arm length to start at tackle for years. He could play either side at the next level.
Texas Longhorns wide receiver Ja’Tavion Sanders (0).
Ja’Tavion Sanders is a terrific prospect whose stock could soar with a strong performance at the NFL combine. Sanders was underused in college and is poised to be the second tight end taken in April’s draft. Don’t be surprised if he lands in the bottom half of the first round before everything is said and done. Sanders would be an excellent addition for the Commanders to pair with Maye.

Defensive end is expected to be a major focus for the Commanders this offseason. They could sign one in free agency and draft one high in the draft. To land Trice in the third round is a steal for Washington. Dan Quinn will love Trice’s motor and effort.
