The Commanders are set to make a big splash in the NFL draft this year with the No. 2 pick and multiple early-round choices to address key positions. New owner Josh Harris, GM Adam Peters, and coach Dan Quinn aim to find the right signal-caller after trading away Sam Howell. Most signs point to LSU's Jayden Daniels as Washington's top choice, followed by North Carolina's Drake Maye and Michigan's J.J. McCarthy.

The team hosted these QB prospects recently, drawing criticism from some fans and Daniels' agent. Despite speculation about a potential Raiders connection, Daniels remains open to joining the Commanders. Washington also looks to bolster its roster with offensive tackle, cornerback, and edge rusher positions in the draft.

There is pressure on Peters and the new regime to make the most of their six first-three-round picks to accelerate the team's timeline for success.
