Early mock drafts had the Washington Commanders going quarterback with the No. 11 overall pick. Washington was so desperate for a franchise passer — even in a weak quarterback class — that projecting one to the Commanders at No. 11 was an easy call.
Now that Washington has Carson Wentz under center, the Commanders taking a quarterback at No. 11 appears doubtful. Sure, Wentz may not be Washington’s long-term solution, but the thought behind trading for him was that he would be the franchise’s quarterback beyond 2022.
The newest mock drafts now have Washington all over the place. Some think the Commanders will go with a wideout for Wentz; others can see Washington taking a linebacker or an offensive lineman. Yes, some even believe the Commanders could take a quarterback.
