The Commanders have five picks in the 2025 NFL draft. They head into draft night without a third-round pick, but own the Texans ' fourth-round pick as a result of the Tunsil trade. Washington is also lacking a fifth-round selection thanks to their deal with the 49ers for Samuel.

The Washington Commanders were arguably the story of the 2024 NFL season. In the first year of the Dan Quinn era, Washington went from 4-13 to 12-5 in a magical campaign that ended in the NFC Championship game.

NFL Draft is happening today, and few teams are entering the weekend with more at stake than the Washington Commanders. After a bold offseason, the franchise finds itself at a pivotal moment. There’s sustained energy and cautious optimism among the fanbase.
