Commanders Open 2024 NFL Draft With Selection of LSU QB Jayden Daniels

Washington's Nine Draft Picks Signal New Era

Team Welcomes Nine New Players, Bolsters Roster for Upcoming Season

Detroit, MI - The Washington Commanders made a bold move to open the 2024 NFL Draft, selecting LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels with the first of their nine picks. The move signals a clear intention to bolster the team's offense and give their young roster a much-needed playmaker.

Daniels, a dynamic playmaker with both his arm and legs, will be expected to lead the Commanders' resurgence. His athleticism and ability to make plays out of the pocket make him an ideal fit for Washington's offensive scheme.

The Commanders' nine-pick haul is the third largest in the draft, giving them plenty of ammunition to address their roster needs. Washington entered the draft with several glaring holes, particularly on defense, and they are expected to use their remaining picks to bolser their pass rush, secondary, and offensive line.

With a new head coach in Dan Quinn and a promising young core of players, the Commanders have high hopes for the upcoming season. The addition of Daniels is a major step in their rebuilding process, and the team is confident that he can lead them back to contention in the NFC East.
