Jayden Daniels is a superstar. The Washington Commanders significantly improved in 2024 en route to the NFC Championship game. None were more pivotal to this team's future than finding a franchise quarterback at the first time of asking.
Daniels came into the Commanders with a fierce inner drive and exceptional work ethic. He won over coaches and veteran teammates quickly. It didn't take much longer for the Heisman Trophy winner to take the league by storm.
The 2024 NFL Draft's No. 2 overall pick displayed the poise, precision, and dynamic playmaking ability Washington hasn't had under center since Robert Griffin III. But this felt different, thanks in no small part to Daniels' flawless demeanor and his ability to come through when the stakes were highest.
Adam Peters recognized the need to build around Daniels this offseason. His two major splashes were trades on key offensive positions. Deebo Samuel Sr. adds another versatile, explosive presence to the wide receiver room. Laremy Tunsil is one of the league's most consistent left tackles — a one-man wall capable of keeping the blindside clear of pressure.
Washington could also add more familiarity by selecting those emerging from the college ranks who've worked with the signal-caller previously. With this in mind, here are five 2025 NFL Draft prospects who could reunite with Daniels on the Commanders.
2025 NFL Draft prospects who could reunite with Jayden Daniels on the Commanders
Commanders could draft Miles Frazier
The Washington Commanders don't have a desperate need on the offensive line right now. Laremy Tunsil's arrival is a game-changer, which will see Brandon Coleman move over to the right-hand side alongside veteran Andrew Wylie. Whether that'll be on the edge or onto the interior is another matter.
What separates the contending teams from the also-rans is they never settle. They are always looking for depth upgrades and potential starters at good prices along their trenches during the draft. That means the Commanders shouldn't dismiss the notion of adding another offensive lineman despite having just five picks currently.
Miles Frazier would be an intriguing addition. The interior force spent time protecting Jayden Daniels at LSU. He's got experience manning multiple spots but has thrived as a guard in college. His timing off the snap is superb, which is matched by the strength and athleticism to excel both as a pass protector and run blocker.
Improving the player's agility and ability to counter is only going to help his cause. Frazier has the chance to develop into a decent interior starter with the correct early development.
