Eagles Enemy Draft Analysis: Washington Commanders

**Antonio Williams, Wide Receiver, Clemson**

Washington has their top receiver in Terry McLaurin and there’s little reason to believe he won’t be a factor once again next year. But helping Jayden Daniels in Year 3 means acquiring more weapons for him in the passing game. Antonio Williams is a “B+ at everything, A+ at nothing” type receiver. And that’s not a slight. He’s a smart, physical, reliable receiver who runs good routes, has good hands, and does a good job after the catch. He won’t take over games week to week, but he will be a really good #2 or 3 receiver in the Washington offense pretty quickly.

**Joshua Josephs, Edge, Tennessee**

This is another speed-forward defensive draft pick for Washington. Joshua Josephs is a high upside player and exactly the type of defensive prospect Dan Quinn loves to develop.

**Kaytron Allen, Running Back, Penn State**

This was my favorite pick for Washington. Kaytron Allen is a consistent, bruising back who has enough juice to break off some big runs every few carries. I felt he was underrated in college and clearly underrated in this draft process. The Commanders already have a good lead back in Jacory Croskey-Merritt, but now they have a really good complementary player in Allen.

**Matt Gulbin, Center, Michigan State**

Washington makes a late round investment in protecting Jayden Daniels. Considering how vulnerable he’s been to injury, I thought Washington would draft offensive line earlier. Gulbin played a ton of football at the college level and there’s a lot to like about his game from a demeanor standpoint. He has starter upside but will have an uphill climb.

**Athan Kaliakmanis, Quarterback, Rutgers**

There were many quarterbacks in this class who warranted a late round gamble and Kaliakmanis was one of them. He’s a guy who got better every year of college despite never playing on talented teams. He has a good build, a strong arm, and a willingness to hang in a muddy pocket. He has intriguing upside to be a solid NFL backup.
