IWith their nine NFL Draft selections, the Washington Commanders secured nine position positions, guaranteeing that they would be able to place as many new players in key roles as possible.
Although many had anticipated that the Commanders would select a left tackle early in the draft, they made significant progress in rebuilding the core of their roster for 2024 and beyond.
The cornerback position was one that Washington neglected to address in the draft. Although general manager Adam Peters acquired two defensive backs over the weekend, Ben Standig of The Athletic stated in a recent Locked On Commanders episode and in an article for the well-known sports new site that the team’s primary need may still lie there. Neither of them is expected to play a significant role on the perimeter.
“They have Emmanuel Forbes and they have Benjamin St-Juste, they have Mike Davis who they signed in free agency, they have (Mike) Sainristil who they just drafted, and then you’ve got your Christian Holmes’s of the world,” Standig said. “I think the thing for me is how much is the new coaching staff going to improve these guys? Forbes obviously had a really rough rookie year, St-Juste at best plateaued, if not maybe regressed a little bit, but I think I really do give the secondary a bit of a pass because of the coaching situation.”
