The Washington Commanders enter the 2025 NFL draft with a limited number of picks due to previous trades for veteran players like Marshon Lattimore, Deebo Samuel, and Laremy Tunsil. The team aims to build on their successful offseason and strengthen their roster after reaching the NFC championship game last season. With only five selections, starting at No. 29 overall, the Commanders are focused on adding talent to support quarterback Jayden Daniels.
In The Athletic's recent seven-round mock draft by Dane Brugler, the Commanders selected wide receiver Egbuka in the first round, passing on other impactful players to bolster their offensive lineup. Brugler's choice reflects Washington's strategy of enhancing their offensive options. Additionally, the mock draft projected Washington to potentially target Oladejo, a versatile prospect with high potential, and Giddens, a running back with impressive combine results. Kiser and Monheim were also highlighted as potential late-round selections for the Commanders, offering depth and versatility to the team's roster. Washington's draft approach seems to be focused on fortifying key positions and adding depth across various positions to maintain competitiveness in the upcoming season.
