The Washington Commanders are preparing for the 2025 NFL Draft with five strategic picks, particularly following recent trades that secured star players like Marshon Lattimore, Deebo Samuel, and Laremy Tunsil. The Commanders aim to bolster their roster by addressing key positions such as edge rusher, running back, and cornerback to enhance depth and preparedness for the upcoming season.

The first round presents a challenge with the 29th pick, where the team is likely to consider multiple positions including edge rusher and running back, with talents like TreVeyon Henderson from Ohio State drawing attention. The Commanders’ second-round pick at 61 will likely focus on filling any gaps left after their first choice. This draft is viewed as an opportunity to solidify their foundation built around quarterback Jayden Daniels, who they believe can lead a competitive team into the future.
