The Washington Commanders head into the 2024 NFL draft with nine selections, beginning with the No. 2 overall pick. Everyone is certain that the Commanders will target a quarterback with their first pick, allowing them to use their final eight selections to build around their new passer. Washington signed over 20 outside free agents since free agency kicked off last month. Most of the deals were one year in length as the Commanders just looked to fill out the roster and compete in 2024. The core of the team will be built through the draft, and fortunately for general manager Adam Peters, he has a lot to work with in this draft.

In our previous seven-round mock draft, we traded up for an offensive tackle. In our mock draft 3.0, we did things a little differently, sitting still and picking the best available player for each of Washington's nine selections. In doing so, the Commanders came away with multiple future starters in this mock draft. We've stuck with Drake Maye in previous mock drafts, and we still believe there is a good chance he's the pick on April 25. However, the smoke around Daniels is becoming difficult to ignore. Adam Schefter says most NFL teams have him as the second-best quarterback; some even have him ranked first, and he believes that will be too much for Washington to pass on.

If Daniels is the pick, he gives offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury a dynamic dual threat who changes Washington's offense from the moment he arrives. Daniels impacts the deep passing game and running game. The Washington Commanders were one of the biggest surprises of the 2024 season, fueled by Offensive Rookie of the Year Jayden Daniels. With their franchise quarterback in place — and still on a rookie contract — the future looks bright in Washington, but there’s still plenty of work to be done to strengthen the roster. While upgrading the offensive skill positions will be a priority, the Commanders also need reinforcements along the offensive line and defense. With $68.8 million in effective cap space, they’ll be a team to watch in free agency, but they should also have ample opportunities to add talent through the draft.

Barron would be a major addition for the Commanders, bringing versatility and high-level ball production to the secondary. He was a standout in coverage last season, allowing just a 53.6% completion rate on throws into his coverage. He recorded five interceptions, broke up 10 more passes and didn’t surrender a single touchdown all season. Injuries slowed Williams in the postseason, but he was outstanding throughout the 2024 regular season. In pass protection, he allowed just three sacks and two quarterback hits. Ferguson was a consistent chain-mover for the Ducks in 2024, with 31 of his 46 receptions resulting in first downs.

He also proved to be a big-play threat, recording 18 explosive catches of 15 or more yards. As the NFL Draft approaches, the Washington Commanders find themselves at a pivotal moment for rebuilding. They have a selection of draft picks that have the potential to dramatically alter the future course of the franchise. Now is the moment to forge ahead. Through this 7-round mock draft, we will delve into the prospective players who may soon wear the Commanders' burgundy and gold to rejuvenate the spirits of their dedicated fan base. Following a Week 13 defeat to the Miami Dolphins, the Commanders failed to surpass or even equal their previous season’s 8–8–1 record.

This marked their seventh consecutive season without a winning record. They were also knocked out of playoff contention for the third year in a row after a Week 15 loss to the Los Angeles Rams. Despite an encouraging start with a 2–0 record, the team's performance rapidly deteriorated. They conceded the most points of any team that year and recorded the league’s worst point differential at -189. Additionally, their offense was ranked ninth worst in the NFL. The combination of these issues led the team to a dismal 2–13 finish for the remainder of the season.

This included being swept in their division for the first time since 2019 and ending the year on an eight-game losing streak. Following the conclusion of the season, Commanders managing partner Josh Harris officially announced the team's separation from head coach Ron Rivera. The Commanders have been notably active in free agency, though without making major financial commitments to any single player. The goal appears to be to assemble a competent team around their new quarterback. That's likely to be either Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye. Washington fans hope to achieve success with either QB in their careers.

An integral part of this strategy includes securing a long-term solution at left tackle. Moreover, the Commanders are tackling the overhaul of a defense that was the most scored upon in the NFL last season. After trading away premier edge rushers Chase Young and Montez Sweat, the team has added several rotational players. However, it’s unlikely any of them are expected to fill the void left by those departures. The Washington Commanders currently have nine picks in the 2024 NFL Draft. Current standings give them the No.

4 overall selection in the first round. Thanks to trade-deadline deals for Montez Sweat and Chase Young, they have two picks in both the second and third rounds. All those things can and will change based on final records and further trades. The Commanders could also possibly receive compensatory picks after the season, though that seems unlikely at this point. For purposes of this mock draft, I am simply making Washington’s nine picks, No trades. The Pro Football Network draft simulator tool does allow for trades.

I almost always do better when I trade down in these mocks. But their methodology for proposing trades can be a little iffy. Truth be told, so is their ranking and selection process. This can yield unlikely results. But even so, it is a marvelous way to begin to see where players may fall and to familiarize yourself with who the Commanders might be looking at. Big changes are on the horizon for the Commanders.

The new ownership may be showing head coach Ron Rivera the door after a dismal season. Before 2023, Washington had three consecutive seasons of close to .500 ball where they were in the playoff picture. After just 4-5 this season, the Commanders enter the 2024 NFL Draft with clear goals for each selection. The Commanders have struggled to find a quality QB since Kirk Cousins. Sam Howell has done a decent job this season, but ultimately not the style of QB to play in Bieniemy’s system. He regressed and got benched this season.

He’s been referred to as the next Patrick Mahomes and would help a struggling team become a contender. Any new regime at coach will look to find a new QB to lead the way. Williams would be the perfect candidate for whoever takes over as coach next season. The 6-foot-6, 315-pounder only surrendered two sacks in his time with BYU. He had earned himself a pass-blocking grade of 83.2 per Pro Football Focus. He’s not as good of a run-blocker as he is with pass-blocking.

Though, with an agile QB like Caleb Williams that wouldn’t be an issue. As of now, Sanders is the second-best tight-end prospect heading into the 2024 NFL Draft, the Commanders aren’t desperate at the position. However, an upgrade in terms of a young TE would be helpful. He would provide some consistency to the passing game. Texas underutilized him as a weapon in their loss to Washington. Sanders is a polished route-runner with the ability to create separation with sharp cuts and impressive body positioning.

He makes tough catches look easy and would be a perfect target for Williams if they could land both. The Commanders need some help on the Offensive line, more specifically at the center position. Van Pran could help sure up some of those problems. With the potential of a new franchise QB coming out of the college ranks, it makes sense to pair him with one of the best centers in this years draft. He’s been a key cog on the line for Georgia for several seasons now. He holds his own in pass protection and carves up solid lanes on running plays.

He’s exceptional prior to the snap as he makes sure that everyone is on the same page. Who will the Commanders draft in 2024? The Washington Commanders are loaded with capital in the 2024 NFL Draft, especially in the early rounds. It means both a loaded Commanders mock draft and an opportunity for a new regime to make significant upgrades to the roster. Before diving into our, here’s everything you need to know ahead of the 2024 NFL Draft. Here are the Washington Commanders draft picks in the 2024 NFL Draft.
