College experience is most valuable for quarterbacks. Nix and Daniels proved it last year when they led their teams to the playoffs. Meanwhile, Anthony Richardson threw just 393 passes in college before the Colts drafted him No. 4 overall in 2023. He has struggled to adjust at the NFL level.

Washington’s first pick of the draft is No. 29, marking the first year since 2014 that the Commanders do not have a top 25 pick. While Washington hit with Jayden Daniels (2 nd overall) last season, they have struggled with their first round picks in recent years.
