The Washington Commanders could go a number of ways with their first-round pick in next month's 2025 NFL draft. Owning the No. 29 overall pick, Washington is a candidate to trade down with only five picks. The Commanders have mostly been linked with edge rushers because that's their most significant need.
However, Washington could also be interested in other positions. The Commanders could consider a running back, wide receiver, safety, or cornerback.
A new three-round mock draft from CBS Sports gives Washington the best of both worlds with its first two picks.
With their first-round pick, CBS has the Commanders selecting Boston College edge Donovan Ezeiruaku.
Ezeiruaku was a dominant pass rusher for Boston College last season. He'd make an instant impact for the Commanders. In addition to his power and athleticism, Ezeiruaku plays with a relentless motor.
In the second round, CBS has Washington selecting Ohio State superstar running back TreVeyon Henderson.
It would be a home run if Washington could land an edge rusher and game-breaking back with its first two picks. Could you imagine Henderson lining up in the backfield behind Jayden Daniels? Henderson is not only a home-run threat, he also runs with excellent vision and patience, and, even better, he is not afraid to mix it up in pass protection. The Commanders would be thrilled to walk away with two high-level starters with these two picks.
Washington is without a third-round pick due to the Marshon Lattimore and Laremy Tunsil trades, making it imperative that GM Adam Peters nails his first two picks. It also would not be a surprise if the Commanders attempted to trade back in the first and second rounds to accumulate more picks.
