We are only days away from the 2024 NFL draft. The Washington Commanders currently have nine selections, beginning with the second overall pick. While they haven’t said it, everyone knows the Commanders are selecting a quarterback first.
From there, Washington holds two picks in the second round and three in the third round. General manager Adam Peters didn’t rule out trading back into the first round, potentially for an offensive tackle, and many believe that will happen.
If everything goes Washington’s way, it has a chance to turn the franchise around. The Commanders have enough draft capital to move up, or they could trade down while also adding more picks for 2025.
We look at a list of the ideal prospects for the Commanders at every position ahead of the draft:

The Commanders will be happy either way, selecting second and choosing between Jayden Daniels and Drake Maye. However, Washington would love to bring Williams home — he’s a Washington, D.C. native. Williams is a phenomenal playmaker who is close with Washington offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury.

Jaylen Wright will likely go in the third or fourth round — Washington has three third-round picks. Running back is not necessarily a need, but Wright has size, speed and the potential to play on every down. He is a dynamic pass-catcher, too. Also, Wright has relatively low mileage from his college career.
