A lot of great talent falling to Washington’s picks
With Day 2 about to start, here is a quick guide of best available talents. There are a few players remaining who have slid past where they were expected to go and are now exceptional values in Round 2. I’d expect them to get snapped up before the Commanders are on the board.
Sadly, after the run on OTs in Round 1, there is only one remaining who is good value at the Commanders’ second round...

Pick two of the first round saw Washington land the new face-of-the-franchise in LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels. Many thought Adam Peters would move back into the second half of round one to land a left tackle, but unfortunately that did not happen.
