The Washington Commanders currently hold the No. 29 overall pick in the first round of the 2025 NFL Draft. However, that may not be the case once the team is on the clock.
ESPN analyst Field Yates believes that the Commanders should consider trading down from their spot in the draft.

They are selecting late enough in the first round that a team selecting early on Day 2 might give them a call, and they have just five picks in total following many offseason moves.
In other words, they are in good position to trade out and should be willing. Since this class is regarded as deeper rather than top-heavy, moving down would give Washington more chances to add depth at positions of need, including edge rusher and wide receiver," Yates writes.
