With a new franchise quarterback, impact defenders, and a talented offensive lineman, the Commanders are looking poised for positive changes. While there is some risk associated with the Jayden Daniels pick due to his prospect profile, he is expected to bring significant improvement over the previous quarterback, Sam Howell. The draft class, overall, instills hope in fans following a somewhat uncertain free agency period.
The Commanders have ushered in a new era with a promising group of players. Jer’Zhan Newton, the defensive tackle from Illinois chosen 36th overall, is a standout pick. Despite concerns about a foot injury, Newton is anticipated to make a strong impact for the Commanders, especially with his pass-rushing skills. Paired with head coach Dan Quinn and talented teammates on the defensive line, Newton has the potential for a successful rookie season that could excite fans.
On the other hand, the selection of Jayden Daniels as the second overall pick is seen as a more questionable move. While Daniels has his strengths, such as rushing ability and deep ball accuracy, some doubt his ability to excel in the NFL due to his physical build and passing skills compared to other prospects like Drake Maye. Nonetheless, there is a possibility for Daniels to succeed even if his ceiling may not be as high as others.
The Commanders’ draft picks include notables like Mike Sainristil
