Commanders 7-Round Mock Draft: Trade with NFC East Rival?
The Washington Commanders are slowly building their team and lining up their draft picks for what should be an important spring in the nation's capital.
There are plenty of positions for the Commanders to address including offensive line, defensive end, and especially in the linebacker and quarterback rooms.
Here's a look at how we could see Washington approaching the offseason on a special Mock Draft Monday.

MOCK NFL DRAFT
No. 6 - QB Jayden Daniels, LSU
No. 23 - OT JC Latham, Alabama
No. 36 - CB T.J. Tampa, Iowa State
No. 40 - TE Ja’Tavion Sanders, Texas
No. 99 - RB Bucky Irving, Oregon
No. 101 - WR Jacob Cowing, Arizona

As you look at these picks you might have connected already there are a couple of trades.
First, and we know some are going to hate this, we have Washington trading back with the New York Giants who move up to get North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye. In exchange, the Commanders would get at least picks No. 6 and 39 this year and a first-round pick in 2024.
With the No. 6 pick, the Commanders land LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels and then trade back into the first round by packaging picks No. 39 (from NYG) and No. 67 to move up with the Houston Texans at No. 23 where they select Alabama offensive tackle JC Latham.
