When the Atlanta Falcons selected USC wide receiver Drake London at No. 8 overall, the Washington Commanders’ top wide receiver target was off the board. Washington, picking at No. 11, would still have an opportunity to select one of the top wide receivers on the board.
Garrett Wilson went No. 10 to the New York Jets, leaving the Commanders to choose between Chris Olave and Jameson Williams. Instead of selecting him, Washington agreed to a trade with the New Orleans and moved back five spots, where it eventually selected Penn State wide receiver Jahan Dotson.
After being drafted by Washington, Dotson spoke to the local media and admitted he didn’t have a lot of interaction with the Commanders before the draft.
