The Washington Commanders have yet to hire a head coach, but they can take a big step forward with three of the top 40 picks in the 2024 NFL draft, including No. 2 overall.
That work to improve the roster begins this week at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Alabama. General manager Adam Peters is in Mobile along with others in Washington’s scouting department to check out some of the best prospects at the Senior Bowl. And with needs throughout the roster, the Commanders could find plenty of help.
Several prospects have stood out through two days of practice, including multiple offensive linemen. Washington could be searching for as many as four new starters on the offensive line in 2024, and there are numerous day-one starters in Mobile.
Taliese Fuaga (Oregon State), Jackson Powers-Johnson (Oregon), Tyler Guyton (Oklahoma) and Jordan Morgan (Arizona) are just some of the offensive linemen to make a case for being selected in the first round.
We’re only halfway through the week, but the offensive line is clearly the strongest group at the Senior Bowl.
Who else impressed on Wednesday? From those present in Mobile, here are 10 standouts from the second day of practice.
South Alabama QB Carter Bradley
You could make the case that the least unheralded quarterback among the seven in Mobile was the best on Wednesday.

This was throw of the day by Carter Bradley. Ripped it through tight coverage for a TD during 7-7. pic.twitter.com/t4sSzYwYir

Michigan WR Roman Wilson
Roman Wilson is separating himself — literally — with an impressive week in Mobile.

Oregon OL Jackson Powers-Johnson
Jackson Powers-Johnson may be done for the week, but his first two days have opened eyes.
Jackson Powers-Johnson was really, really good today (again).
The balance at contact and ability to push the rusher wide with his off-hand is tremendous. pic.twitter.com/JkyOzBarQL

I cannot say enough say impressive @oregonfootball OL Jackson Powers-Johnson has been. Dominating at center and guard. Wins consistently with power, but here he shows the patience and quickness, too.
Not sure he’s lost a 1-on-1 rep all week pic.twitter.com/wC1T5FWPN5

South Carolina Xavier Legette
Wilson isn’t the only wide receiver opening eyes in Mobile.
Xavier Legette just wanted it more😤

Toledo CB Quinyon Mitchell
Early mock drafts had Mitchell going in round two. That’s not happening. Mitchell has cemented himself as a first-round pick.

Quinyon Mitchell is THAT dude🗣️

Oregon State OT Taliese Fuaga
Another strong day from Fuaga.

Taliese Fuaga was the talk of the morning at @SeniorBowl practices. He feels like a first-round lock.#NFLDraft | @TheDraftNetwork pic.twitter.com/FZv6f0PsF9

Texas DT T’Vondre Sweat
Sweat is massive, and he can move. He’s in a class of his own for this class due to his combination of size and athleticism.
There's only so much you can do to slow down 360+ pounds.

Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton
Another Oklahoma offensive tackle going in round one? Guyton is solidifying himself with a terrific week.
The frame of #Oklahoma OT Tyler Guyton (6-7, 328) is impressive. Has had a good week and trending towards being in the top 20 conversations. pic.twitter.com/O7NUhJZxLF

Missouri EDGE Darius Robinson
Darius Robinson came into this week looking like a top-50 pick. He’s one of the best players in Mobile and could find himself among the top 20 picks when it’s all said and done.

Oregon DL Brandon Dorlus
Dorlus is a versatile defender who could play inside or outside at the next level. If Dan Quinn is the head coach, Dorlus is a perfect pick sometime in the second round.
Brandon Dorlus.
