The Washington Commanders hold three selections heading into Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft. Rounds 4 through 7 complete the draft process from Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin.
Washington previously selected Oregon offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. at pick No. 29 overall and Ole Miss cornerback Trey Amos with the 61st pick. The team's remaining picks are No. 128 in the fourth round, No. 205 in the sixth round, and No. 245 in the seventh round.
Team needs heading into the final day include edge rusher, defensive tackle for run defense, running back, wide receiver depth, and kicker. The Washington Commanders draft picks address some defensive backfield and offensive line needs but left others open.
Finding immediate starters on the draft's final day is uncommon, but teams often identify players who can contribute in rotational roles or develop over time. General Manager Adam Peters' previous team had success finding impact players in later rounds.
Potential targets remain on the board across various positions. Defensive line options focused on run stopping include Joshua Farmer from Florida State, J.J. Pegues of Ole Miss, and Jordan Phillips from Maryland.
Edge rusher prospects still available include Jack Sawyer of Ohio State, Bradyn Swinson from LSU, and David Walker of Central Arkansas. Que Robinson, a defensive end from Alabama, is among other players analysts have noted as potentially available on Day 3.
The running back position is considered deep in this draft class for late-round value. Devin Neal of Kansas, Bhayshul Tuten from Virginia Tech, and Dylan Sampson of Tennessee are options. Tahj Brooks from Texas Tech, a program familiar to offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury, also remains.
Wide receiver depth and playmaking ability are needs. Jalen Royals from Utah State, Isaiah Bond of Texas, and Tory Horton from Colorado State are among the highest-ranked available players at the position. Other receivers like Jaylin Lane from Virginia Tech and Dont’e Thornton Jr. of Tennessee possess speed. More players expected to be available for Day 3 of the 2025 NFL Draft include Nick Nash of San Jose State and Elic Ayomanor from Stanford.
The team cycled through several kickers last season. Kicker Andres Borregales of Miami, whom the Commanders held a pre-draft workout with, is a possibility to add competition. Ryan Fitzgerald from Florida State and Ben Sauls of Pittsburgh are other draftable specialists.
The Commanders look to add competition and depth with their final selections. The approach involves targeting players who fit the team's scheme and staff preferences as outlined in Players Available on Day 3. Analyzing the NFL Draft best available players helps frame potential outcomes.
