  • The Washington Commanders are coming off a wildly successful 2024 season and have a chance to be even better with the right pick in 2025.

The article from Newsweek discusses potential draft picks for the Washington Commanders in the upcoming NFL Draft, focusing on two prospects: Malaki Starks, a safety from Georgia, and James Pearce, an edge rusher from Tennessee. Malaki Starks is highlighted for his versatility and ability to play multiple positions in the secondary, which could address the Commanders' need for a reliable safety. His performance at Georgia, where he recorded 68 tackles and two interceptions in his last season, underscores his potential impact. On the other hand, James Pearce is noted for his impressive physical attributes and pass-rushing skills, having recorded 14.5 sacks over the past two seasons at Tennessee. The Commanders, who have struggled with their pass rush, could benefit significantly from Pearce's ability to disrupt opposing offenses. Both players are seen as strong fits for the Commanders' current roster needs and could contribute immediately if drafted.
