The Commanders\u2019 2023 draft had been a pivotal moment in Washington\u2019s long-term rebuild. With several holes to fill and expectations running high, the team had used its seven selections to add athleticism and versatility across the board. This draft class brought a mix of instant contributors and developmental players. Fans hoped the infusion of young talent would strengthen both the defense and offense heading into the new season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 NFL Draft, the 88th edition of the league\u2019s annual selection event, had taken place from April 27 to April 29 in Kansas City, Missouri, with the first round kicking off at 8:00 PM ET. Over three days, 259 players had been selected across seven rounds. The Commanders had entered the draft with a full slate of picks and had focused on adding playmakers, especially on the defensive side of the ball.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commanders 2023 Draft: Day One<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Round 1 \u2013 Pick 16 \u2013 Emmanuel Forbes \u2013 CB \u2013 Mississippi State<\/strong>
Emmanuel Forbes had been a ball-hawking cornerback at Mississippi State. He\u2019d set an FBS record with six interceptions returned for touchdowns and finished with 14 career picks. Scouts had praised his instincts, closing speed, and playmaking skills. Though slightly undersized at 170 pounds, Forbes\u2019s nose for the football had made him a first-round talent. Washington had drafted him to add immediate explosiveness to the secondary.
(“Yes, 100 percent,” Forbes had said when asked if he was the best cornerback in the 2023 NFL Draft \u2013 si.com)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commanders 2023 Draft: Day Two<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Round 2 \u2013 Pick 47 \u2013 Quan Martin \u2013 DB \u2013 Illinois<\/strong>
Quan \u201cJartavius\u201d Martin had played both safety and nickel corner at Illinois. He\u2019d earned a reputation as a reliable tackler and quick-reacting defender. His athleticism and versatility had made him a great fit for modern NFL defenses. Washington had seen him as a Swiss Army knife in the secondary. Martin\u2019s agility and closing burst could help him thrive in multiple roles.
(“I feel like I can do it all. I can play nickel, I can play safety, I can play corner,” Martin had said.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Round 3 \u2013 Pick 97 \u2013 Ricky Stromberg<\/a> \u2013 C \u2013 Arkansas<\/strong>
Ricky Stromberg had anchored Arkansas\u2019s offensive line with strong technique and leadership. He\u2019d started multiple seasons in the SEC and had faced some of the nation\u2019s top defenders. Stromberg had excelled in pre-snap recognition and interior blocking. Washington had added him to build depth and reliability on the offensive front.
(“Ricky\u2019s football IQ is off the charts. He\u2019s the kind of player who makes everyone around him better,” said Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commanders 2023 Draft: Day Three<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Round 4 \u2013 Pick 118 \u2013 Braeden Daniels \u2013 OT \u2013 Utah<\/strong>
Braeden Daniels had brought versatility to the table with experience at both guard and tackle. At Utah, he\u2019d shown quick feet and solid pass protection against strong Pac-12 pass rushers. His flexibility had given Washington options when filling gaps across the offensive line.
(“I try to keep my head down and continue to work\u2026 It\u2019s cutthroat but I\u2019m excited and ready to hear my name called” \u2013 deseret.com)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Round 5 \u2013 Pick 137 \u2013 KJ Henry \u2013 DE \u2013 Clemson<\/strong>
KJ Henry had played with intensity and leadership at Clemson. He\u2019d contributed to a strong defensive front and had stood out for his effort and motor. Henry\u2019s ability to disrupt plays in the backfield had helped him earn a solid draft grade. Washington had taken him to add depth and energy to their pass rush unit.
(“KJ is a high-character guy who brings energy and effort every day,” said Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Round 6 \u2013 Pick 193 \u2013 Chris Rodriguez Jr. \u2013 RB \u2013 Kentucky<\/strong>
Chris Rodriguez Jr. had run with power and consistency at Kentucky. He\u2019d recorded multiple 1,000-yard seasons and thrived between the tackles. Rodriguez\u2019s downhill style and physicality had given Washington a potential short-yardage and red zone option.
(“Chris is a workhorse. He brings a toughness to our offense that\u2019s hard to match,” said Kentucky head coach Mark Stoops.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Round 7 \u2013 Pick 233 \u2013 Andre Jones Jr. \u2013 DE \u2013 Louisiana<\/strong>
Andre Jones Jr. had developed into a reliable edge rusher at Louisiana. He\u2019d shown growth every season and made a name for himself in the Sun Belt Conference. Jones had offered good length and quickness, making him a late-round value pick with upside.
(“Andre\u2019s motor never stops. He\u2019s always pushing to make a play,” said Louisiana head coach Billy Napier.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Thoughts and Early Evaluations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Washington Commanders\u2019 2023 draft class had aimed to address key areas on both defense and offense. Initial reactions from analysts were mixed, with some praising the team\u2019s selections and others expressing concerns about certain picks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first-round cornerback from Mississippi State, had garnered attention for his ball-hawking abilities. Pete Prisco of CBS Sports had awarded the pick an “A,” stating, “I love this kid… you draft him because he\u2019s an elite cover player who fills an immediate need.” However, concerns about Forbes\u2019 slender frame had led to varied evaluations, with some analysts questioning his durability at the professional level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second round, the Commanders pick of Martin, was viewed by some as a reach. Bleacher Report had assigned a “C” grade, noting that Martin “didn’t receive as much recognition as his teammate, Sydney Brown.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third-round pick Stromberg, was seen as a solid addition to the offensive line. Bleacher Report had given the selection an “A,” highlighting the center\u2019s experience and potential to start early in his career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Team personnel expressed optimism about the draft class. Head coach Ron Rivera had commented on Stromberg\u2019s intelligence and football acumen, stating, “He\u2019s a very bright football player… that really impressed our coaches.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2023 draft class<\/a> has the potential to impact the Commanders\u2019 roster significantly. If the rookies develop as anticipated, they could fill critical roles on the roster. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
