However, it\u2019s pretty hard to argue with this result when they still get Omar Cooper Jr. in addition to No. 56 and No. 99 to come.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Cooper Jr. might be a better fit alongside Terry McLaurin, too. He had an 83.3% slot rate at Indiana and profiles to play that role with physicality, contact balance, and tremendous footwork in the pros. In addition to producing the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ADJ0dNoX0L8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">catch of the year in college football<\/a>, he\u2019s a willing and tenacious blocker, as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Round 3: Jadarian Price, RB, Notre Dame<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">The reason Washington might look to move back is to add pieces across the roster, and running back is a definite need. Their nightmare committee brought instability to a rushing attack that also lost Jayden Daniels\u2019 legs. Jadarian Price flashed elite ability to hit home runs as a rusher in college, and he\u2019ll contribute immediately in the return game, too.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Round 3: Joshua Josephs, EDGE, Tennessee<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Joshua Josephs is a unique EDGE rusher. There just aren\u2019t many who play as upright and lack bend as him with any sort of effectiveness, but he plays so long that it\u2019s almost like he\u2019s able to create a downward trajectory to drive, and his short-area change of direction is fast.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">He\u2019s got great backside pursuit skills with that length, too. He\u2019s best in a four-man front like Dan Quinn\u2019s.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">Round 3: Jalon Kilgore, S, South Carolina<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup _1teeyfa8 ls9zuh1\">You can see the monumental impact a trade would mean for the Commanders as they netted two extra picks in the top 100. Washington had two of its three safeties outside the top 65 in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.profootballnetwork.com\/nfl-saf-rankings-impact\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">PFSN\u2019s Safety Impact<\/a> (SAFi) scores, so Jalon Kilgore adds some thump and talent in a box role at No. 99. I actually think Kilgore\u2019s recovery and ball skills are incredibly underrated because most of his work came near the line of scrimmage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Commanders receive #21(Omar Cooper Jr., WR, Indiana), #53, #99, #135, #216 Steelers receiver #7(Carnell Tate, WR, Ohio State),&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":868991,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2069],"tags":[427,7,4002,6,855,111,113384,1267,2480],"class_list":{"0":"post-868990","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-commanders","8":"tag-commanders","9":"tag-football","10":"tag-mock-draft","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-washington","13":"tag-washington-commanders","14":"tag-washington-commanders-mock-draft","15":"tag-washington-commanders-draft","16":"tag-washingtoncommanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116424639651608002","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/868990","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=868990"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/868990\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/868991"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=868990"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=868990"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=868990"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
