4 interior offensive linemen Commanders could select in 2023 NFL Draft

Commanders could draft Anthony Bradford

While Anthony Bradford might be going under the radar compared to some within the national media, the amount of visits taken by the prospect throughout the assessment process indicates this is not an opinion shared by the NFL. Something that could mean the former LSU standout goes much sooner than many anticipate.

Expecting Bradford to start immediately might be pushing it. But there’s nothing to suggest he cannot become a starting option quickly on the interior or even at the right tackle position given his athleticism and neat footwork.

Bradford is a dominant force on running downs and can make his presence felt immediately. The one-time LSU star packs a powerful punch, has decent hand placement, and is aggressive almost to a fault on every down.

There are some flaws in terms of pass protection – most notably when it comes to dealing with quicker defensive players looking to get after the quarterback. Bradford also suffers complications in space, which was exposed in no uncertain terms within a highly competitive SEC standard on occasions.

Still, this looks like a solid all-around pickup for the Washington Commanders to consider late on Day 2. Anything higher than this makes Bradford a significant gamble all things considered.
