NFL combine week is here. The NFL and representatives from all 32 teams converge on Indianapolis for the week to watch some of the top draft prospects work out and, most importantly, get face time with those prospects.
The most underrated part of the combine is those short interviews teams get with the draft prospects.
The Washington Commanders have a busy offseason ahead. Having already named a new general manager (Adam Peters) and a new head coach (Dan Quinn), the Commanders will now look to rebuild their roster.
Free agency begins in a little over two weeks, but Washington’s most significant decision will be what to do with the No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
While two of the top three passers (Caleb Williams and Jayden Daniels) have said they will not throw at the combine, they will meet with teams for the interview process. That’s what is most important for Washington.
Ryan Fowler of Bleacher Report named the Commanders as one of six teams with the most homework to do at the 2024 NFL combine.
It’s been an offseason of change in Washington, with newly hired GM Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn now in charge of leading the Commanders back toward competitive football.
While the organization finds itself in an opportune spot to take one of Caleb Williams, Drake Maye or Jayden Daniels at No. 2 overall, Washington has to add contributing talent beyond Day 1, which is why it hired Peters from San Francisco.
The Commanders were deemed a “quarterback away” before signing Carson Wentz a few seasons ago, so retooling a roster with cornerstones already in place could quickly put D.C. back in contention in the NFC.
With two additional Day 2 picks accrued after trading Montez Sweat (Bears) and Chase Young (49ers) at the trade deadline, Peters has a ton of ammo within the first 105 selections (six picks) and an ownership group that will allow him to do his job without any questions.
