The Washington Commanders have come out of the NFL Draft feeling good about what they accomplished, but there is still plenty of work to be done.
The franchise added a receiver in the third round, Antonio Williams, but many expected the Commanders to try to add a genuine weapon to pair with Terry McLaurin. That hasn't happened...yet.
But will it?
I think it has to, as the Commanders can't go into 2026 with McLaurin and a rookie as Jayden Daniels' top two weapons.
For NFL.com's Kevin Patra, he wonders if Brandon Aiyuk is still on the radar.
“The Commanders used a third-round pick on slot receiver Antonio Williams but still lack a legit outside threat to pair with Terry McLaurin,” Patra wrote. “The assumption at this point is that they're waiting for Brandon Aiyuk -- Jayden Daniels' close friend -- to wiggle free from San Francisco. How long will they wait, and what will Washington do if he lands elsewhere?”
