Continuing my series of draft position roundups, focusing on skillsets the Commanders need to raise their talent ceiling and rebuild the depth pipeline, I’d like to switch back to offense. But, in case you missed the previous roundups, here they are:

Late Round Running Backs

Offensive Linemen Who Can Help the Running Game

Ball-hawking Cornerbacks

Ball-hawking Safeties

Edge Defenders Who Can Disrupt the QB and Stop the Run

Who Are the Best Wide Receivers in the 2025 Draft Class?

To many fans, prioritizing interior defensive linemen in this draft might seem perverse, given the investment that the Commanders have made in the DL in recent years and pressing needs elsewhere.
