The Washington Commanders used the first week of free agency to upgrade the roster. While the Commanders didn’t do anything extravagant — outside of extending franchise-tagged defensive tackle Daron Payne — they filled multiple holes without breaking the budget.
Even though Washington added two offensive linemen last week, the position remains a focal point in next month’s NFL draft. The good news is the Commanders shouldn’t feel desperate to add any specific position with their first-round pick. While certain positions, such as defensive tackle and wide receiver, should be off-limits for Washington, the best-player-available approach should be the way to go.
