Commanders' Luke McCaffrey: Washington adds in third round
The Commanders selected McCaffrey in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 100th overall.
McCaffrey originally arrived to Nebraska as a coveted quarterback recruit, but he couldn't stick at the position and ended up making the switch to receiver after transferring to Rice. He's a bit thin at 6-foot-2, 198 pounds and has little catch radius to speak of, but his athleticism tested well at the NFL Combine (4.46-second 40-yard dash, 6.7-second three-cone drill), and his production at Rice was generally encouraging, especially since he just started playing wideout in 2022. It's possible that McCaffrey might need some more developmental time after switching from quarterback, but the bloodlines are obviously highly favorable, and he clearly possesses starter-caliber athleticism. Washington simply now waits to see how much he can improve with experience.

Commanders' Brandon Coleman: Helps O-Line in Washington
The Commanders selected Coleman in the third round of the NFL Draft, 67th overall.
Washington continues to stack talent at positions of need in the new front office's first draft. Coleman started at left tackle and left guard for some excellent TCU teams and grades out as a plus athlete for either spot at the next level. With experience across the left side of the line, Coleman should immediately challenge for a starting job as a rookie.

Commanders' Ben Sinnott: Goes to Washington
The Commanders selected Sinnott in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 53rd overall.
Even with the Zach Ertz addition, tight end was a glaring need in Washington. Sinnott is the second tight end off the board, and rightfully so. He was one of the top producers at his position in his final year at Kansas State with 49 catches for 676 yards and six touchdowns on 76 targets. In fact, that made him the Wildcats' leading receiver by nearly 100 yards. The production put him on the draft radar, but his combine performance made him a legit second-round prospect. Sinnott runs a 4.68 40 with top percentile scores in his jumps and in the cone drill. That blend of production and athleticism will get him on the field in the nation's capital sooner rather than later, especially with only Ertz standing in his way.

Commanders' Mike Sainristil: Second-round pick for Washington
The Commanders selected Sainristil in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 50th overall.
Sainristil might be limited to the slot at just 5-foot-10, 182 pounds, but the Michigan standout should excel there at least. He was a standout presence in a suffocating Wolverines defense that arguably carried Michigan to its National Title victory in 2023, and his workout numbers indicate the ability to cover ground effectively (4.47-second 40-yard dash, 40-inch vertical, 131-inch broad jump). Sainristil should immediately take over the slot position for Washington and might even have an outside chance of winning a starting role.

Commanders' Jer'Zhan Newton: Washington ends fall in Round 2
The Commanders selected Newton (foot) in the second round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 36th overall.
Newton's recovery from a surgically repaired partial Jones fracture might have been the primary driver of his fall down the draft board, as the Illinois star was more so expected to go somewhere in the first 20 picks. Newton was unable to do any athletic drills due to the injury, so it's not clear how much athleticism he might boast on his 6-foot-2, 304-pound frame. The game tape implies that Newton is rather athletic by defensive tackle standards, showing the ability to both split gaps and run around blockers. New head coach Dan Quinn wants to bring a disruptive defense to Washington, and if Newton is healthy, he could play a leading role in any potential turnaround for the previously struggling Commanders defense.

Commanders' Marcus Mariota: Likely headed for backup role again
Mariota will be joined by fellow Heisman winner and No. 2 overall draft pick Jayden Daniels in Washington's QB room.
The incoming rookie was a four-year college starter (five if you count a COVID-shortened season) and is already 23 years old, making him a strong bet to quickly take over as QB1 in Washington. Mariota presumably knew the Commanders were likely to use the No. 2 overall pick on a quarterback when he signed with them in March, but the team at least traded Sam Howell to Seattle, leaving the 30-year-old unchallenged for a backup role. It remains to be seen how the Commanders divide reps between Daniels and Mariota this spring and into summer.
