The Washington Commanders were arguably the story of the 2024 NFL season. In the first year of the Dan Quinn era, Washington went from 4-13 to 12-5 in a magical campaign that ended in the NFC Championship game.

The Washington Commanders have defensive needs, but in Charles Davis' latest mock, the franchise goes in a different direction.

Offseason trades for wide receiver Deebo Samuel and left tackle Laremy Tunsil, on top of last season’s move for cornerback Marshon Lattimore, added Pro Bowl-level talent — and shrunk Washington’s draft capital this year and next. The Commanders made nine picks in 2024 but have only 10 for the next two years.
