Who are the Commanders selecting tonight in the 2025 NFL Draft's first round?
Commanders Wire surveyed 10 mock drafts in their final edition this morning and here is what we found.
"The Commanders could have a few interesting choices here, but Dan Quinn gets another smart player on the defensive back end who can be used in a variety of ways."
"This is a case of a team staying put and watching a value pick fall to it. I have Barron much higher in my rankings. He and 2024 second-round pick Mike Sainristil are two guys Washington could move all over the field."
"Dan Quinn gets his Kam Chancellor, with a lot of options off the table for the Commanders. I could see, among others, Henderson, Conerly, Texas A&M edge Nic Scourton or even East Carolina CB Shavon Revel Jr. being considered here."
"Hariston provides something Washington could use, another true outside corner, as three of their top four corners are considered best inside."
The Saints chose Jaxson Dart, QB, Ole Miss. In exchange the Commanders received picks No. 40 and 93.
"What do the Commanders do to help Jayden Daniels take another step forward? Use a first-round pick on Golden, who led Texas in both receiving yards (987) and scoring grabs (nine) last season."
"Stewart slipping this far? It could happen. He'd make a lot of sense for the Commanders given how their run defense performed in the NFC Championship Game."
"The Commanders are committed to fixing their run defense—they need an immediate EDGE starter, and want one who excels against the run … that’s Stewart."
"Call it a hunch—or a little birdy. I honestly don’t know if this is the direction the Commanders will go, but they need an edge, and Ezeiruaku is an absolute technician with his long arms and lightning-quick hands."
"I thought long and hard about a cornerback here, but Ezeiruaku's pass-rush upside might be too tempting to pass up here. He's also a mature player whose football character fits perfectly with Dan Quinn."
