4 late-round wide receiver prospects Commanders could draft in 2024

Commanders could draft Tulu Griffin

Don’t you hate when analysts make seemingly outlandish comparisons involving unproven prospects? Well, get ready for another one. In Tulu Griffin, I see a less talented version of Gary Clark.

It would be insane to expect that kind of production from the 5-foot-10, 180-pound Griffin. But when I watch him, he doesn’t look as small as his measurables suggest.

Some of the other players who smoked the 40-yard dash in the low 4.4-second bracket or below - as the Mississippi State prospect did - do look small to me. Jacob Cowing looks small to me. So does Anthony Gould. But I saw Griffin fight for contested catches. I saw him take shots and bounce back to his feet.

Like Jha’Quan Jackson, I don’t think Griffin can line up on the perimeter and make big plays downfield consistently. However, he has a role to play in the NFL.

In college, he could get open on deep posts. I saw Griffin make big plays on screens and sweeps, and I saw him seem unstoppable at times on kick returns. I even saw the playmaker make a couple of spin moves that got me thinking of Clark.

Griffin steadily improved throughout his college career and had a productive final season for the Bulldogs. Like Jackson, he is a low-risk weapon who will fall below a lot of bigger, flashier prospects on many teams’ draft boards. Getting him in one of the later rounds would be a great value choice by the Washington Commanders.
