The Washington Commanders are gearing up for the 2025 NFL Draft, where they aim to bolster their defense. Positioned in the middle of the first round, they are expected to select linebacker Landon Barton from Utah, who has shown impressive athleticism and skills on the field.

Despite his potential, Barton will need to refine his game, particularly in dealing with physical offensive linemen. Analysts believe that with the right coaching and development, he could become a key asset for the Commanders' defense.
