The Washington Commanders control the second overall choice in the 2024 NFL Draft and face a number of options. Most pundits expect Washington to take a straightforward approach, picking one of the top quarterback prospects after the Chicago Bears choose Caleb Williams first overall.
It’s a straightforward equation for the Commanders. They need a long-term quarterback solution after selling away Sam Howell, who started all 17 games last season. This draft is widely thought to have at least three talents with star potential in Williams, Drake Maye, and Jayden Daniels — possibly a fourth if you believe the J.J. McCarthy hype. The Commanders are in an excellent position to identify a true franchise signal caller, which they have been lacking for decades. That would begin their first season under new ownership with a new face for the organisation to grow around.
However, nothing is finalised in the NFL Draft until Roger Goodell takes the podium. Commanders must be diligent and consider all available choices. According to ESPN, they are doing exactly that. On Saturday, NFL insider Jeremy Fowler stated on SportsCenter that Washington is receiving calls about a potential deal involving the second overall pick.
“They have been unpredictable, and I spoke with a team member who claimed they are still open to a comprehensive process. They have not made a definite decision on which path to go. Everyone in the league expects Chicago to pick Caleb Williams at number one.
