The Washington Commanders haven’t ruled out any position with their first-round pick in next week’s 2023 NFL draft. Most believe Washington will choose between a cornerback or offensive lineman, but much of that depends on what happens in the first 15 picks.
One position the Commanders are scouting is edge rusher. That could be a defensive end or a pass-rushing linebacker. If that sounds unusual, remember that Montez Sweat is entering the final year of his contract in 2023, and the Commanders have yet to pick up Chase Young’s fifth-year option.
