The Washington Commanders will pick at No. 7, and where the franchise will go at that selection is a big topic of conversation.

Given the free agency splurge on defense, the common thought is that the franchise could look to add some weapons for Jayden Daniels.

We have seen receiver Carnell Tate mocked to Washington, and Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love mocked to the Commanders as well.

And for Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer, Love would be a great gift for Daniels.

"Taking Love would allow the Commanders to take run-game burden and hits off QB Jayden Daniels as new OC David Blough remakes the offense," Breer wrote.

Daniels needs help

Either running back or receiver is where the Commanders should look to strengthen with their first pick, given the needs of the roster.

Outside of Terry McLaurin, Daniels' weapons in the passing game are rather limited as far as a genuine fear factor, and behind Rachaad White, there isn't another back who will strike fear in a defense.

Yes, Jacory Croskey-Merritt showed flashes last season, but Daniels needs more, and Love will give the offense an instant injection of electricity, both as a runner and pass-catcher.

Getting Daniels all the help he can get should be the main item on the menu for Washington as the franchise will go as far as No. 5 takes them.

Which won't be too far if his weapons aren't upgraded.
