It was a dream season for the Washington Commanders right up until it wasn't. The NFC Championship Game was ultimately too much against the rival Philadelphia Eagles as the porous run defense of Dan Quinn's team proved to be a fatal flaw with their opponents rushing for a record-tying seven touchdowns on conference championship Sunday and pushing the Commanders into the offseason with a crucial free agency and NFL Draft looming. Obviously, it'd be hard to crush the NFL Draft quite as much as they did last offseason when they took Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick. Not only are they substantially farther down in the draft order after their phenomenal campaign but they also now have their franchise quarterback. Now it's time to build around him as this roster was never supposed to take Washington as far as it did in Daniels' first season. That's a good problem to have but, at the same time, the Commanders have some pretty clear areas to focus on when it comes to this offseason. Free agency could go a long way in determining how Washington addresses needs at wide receiver, offensive tackle and so on but, as things stand now, this three-round mock draft projection would be a massive win for Washington's future and Daniels.
