The Washington Commanders have a few needs they could target after making a trip to the NFC Championship in 2024.
A new A to Z Sports mock draft has the Commanders taking a different approach by adding to a position group they've already improved this offseason.
Commanders land Missouri star WR Luther Burden in a new mock draft
"This is somewhat of a luxury pick, but you need to maximize Jayden Daniels. Burden is a perfect fit for Kliff Kingsbury, as his ability as a YAC threat is elite."

They would have other concerns to still address, but they would be setting Daniels up for success heading into his second season, and who knows, this addition could help catapult him into the best quarterback of the franchise's history. And team success would likely follow having an elite QB leading the charge going forward.
