The Washington Commanders need to make another dynamic move at wide receiver this offseason — getting a Pro Bowl wide receiver would do the trick.
Bleacher Report’s Gary Davenport put the Commanders among the top landing spots in possible trades for Jacksonville Jaguars Pro Bowl wide receiver and former 1st round pick Brian Thomas Jr.
In this deal, the Commanders get Thomas in exchange for their 1st round pick (No. 7 overall) in the 2026 NFL draft.
What it boils down to, essentially, is if the Commanders think any of the 3 wide receivers projected as 1st round picks — Ohio State’s Carnell Tate, USC’s Makai Lemon, and Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson — will be available at No. 7 and if any of them could be a better play than Thomas.
“The 2025 season was a disaster for the Washington Commanders,” Davenport wrote. “After making a surprise run to the NFC Championship Game in 2024, the team imploded … Now the Commanders are in the midst of a pivotal offseason as Jayden Daniels prepares for Year 3 of his professional career. The team has multiple needs on both sides of the ball — including a wide receiver to pair with Terry McLaurin … If the Jaguars are serious about trading Thomas, Pick No. 7 is about as good as it’s going to get. If the Commanders believe that the 2024 version of Thomas is the ‘real’ one, it can be argued he’s worth it.”
