The Washington Commanders, for most, should be focused on one area of the roster in the NFL Draft, and that's offense.

With Jayden Daniels needing all the help he can get to push the franchise back into playoff contention, he needs weapons around him to do that.

We have seen Jeremiyah Love be mocked to Washington, so too Jordyn Tyson and Carnell Tate, which shows you how most are thinking the Commanders will approach the draft.

And NFL.com's Lance Zierlein has followed that path in his latest mock draft, with Tate coming to the nation's capital.

“The Jayden Daniels hype has cooled down after an injury-riddled sophomore campaign, but giving the quarterback a premium running mate for Terry McLaurin (another Buckeye!) could heat the offense back up again,” Zierlein wrote.

Commanders set for 2026 bounce back?

That would be the hope, and in truth, last season was ruined due to injuries to Daniels. So, if he can avoid the injury bug, Washington could be in business.

Still, one way to make sure Daniels is healthy is to allow others to take the offensive load off his shoulders. He can't do it all himself.
