  • Commanders' Javontae Jean-Baptiste: Adds to D-Line depth in D.C.

    The Commanders selected Jean-Baptiste in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 222nd overall.

    Jean-Baptiste secured a full-time starting role in his sixth collegiate season at Notre Dame after transferring from Ohio State. He made good on the opportunity by tallying 10 tackles for loss and 5.0 sacks and is regarded as a technically solid player without standout athleticism. Jean-Baptiste is likely to get a long look in training camp, but his ultimate destination is likely a practice squad to further develop.

  • Commanders' Dominique Hampton: Lands in DC

    The Commanders selected Hampton in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 161st overall.

    The two-year starter for Washington has bounced around a litany of different starting secondary spots over the course of his six-year collegiate career, but Hampton finally seemed to find his home as a strong safety, leading the team in tackles (105) last season. Given Hampton's 6-foot-2 height and freakishly long arms/wingspan, the soon-to-be 24-year-old will probably stick at safety at the professional level. It's possible the Commanders shift prized offseason signee Jeremy Chinn back over to free safety to make room for Hampton as a box safety early on, but more than likely the rookie will have to carve out a role on special teams to begin his career.

  • Commanders' Jordan Magee: Nabbed by Washington

    The Commanders selected Magee in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 139th overall.

    The Bobby Wagner signing will be a bridge at the inside linebacker spot while Magee develops. Magee, a Temple product, had two seasons over 80 tackles and had 23 tackles for loss over his last two seasons with the Owls. Like several of the off-ball linebackers in this class, Magee is on the lighter side for the position at 228 pounds on a 6-foot-1 frame, but he can fly to the ball with 4.55 speed. He and Jamin Davis could combine to give Washington an uber-athletic linebackers group.

  • 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 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.
