Commanders' Jayden Daniels will hate ESPN's biggest roster concern

The Washington Commanders' offseason has been largely focused on defense for Dan Quinn's team, and while there were some offensive draft selections, more is needed.

Jayden Daniels has only one legitimate weapon in the passing game, and that's veteran Terry McLaurin. After that? It's a group of "guys" in the receiver room, and what I mean by that is there is no definitive No. 2 weapon.

And ESPN's Aaron Schatz has questions on all of them.

"There is a collection of players behind Terry McLaurin waiting for someone to break out," Schatz wrote. "Is Treylon Burks ready to be a starter after three seasons of struggling in Tennessee followed by a few notable catches in 2025 for Washington?

"Can Luke McCaffrey expand past the 11 catches for 203 yards and three touchdowns that he had in his second season? Or is rookie third-rounder Antonio Williams ready for the big time?"

Can Daniels count in current WR room?

Well, one thing we know about good quarterbacks is that they make the players around them better.

Can Daniels, in Year 3, make the likes of Burks, McCaffrey, and Williams better to the point where that trio can be an adequate group to ease the workload on McLaurin?

Right now, it's too early to say, but the offseason will tell us all we need to know.

Brandon Aiyuk is still a possible option, although that feels less like a genuine move with each passing day.

If Washington rolls into Week 1 with its current receiver room, I question the offense's ability to consistently put up enough points to win enough games.
