The Washington commanders have made big moves in free agency over the past week.

General manager Adam Peters focused heavily on fixing their defense, which was the worst

in the league last year.

Seven of their own free agents they resigned or targeted were defenders, so they might

look to offense with their seventh overall pick in the 20, 26 NFL draft.

They added edge rushers like Odefeo A, who is locked in for four years, along with

Doran's Armstrong on his final contract year and one year deals.

For Kay Levant-Shayson and Charles Omanihu, this bolsters the past rush, but leaves room

for more help since some deals are short term.

In a failed draft expert Daniel Jeremiah sees them doubling down on defense in his latest

mod draft.

He projects Miami edge rusher, Rubin Bain Jr., going seventh to Washington.

Bain stood out as one of the top college defenders last season, with his versatility to play

outside early and move inside later.

Other strong options like Jeremiah Love, Sunny Styles, and Cardinal Tate could go and

pick right before theirs, shaking things up.

Jeremiah also has Stanford's David Bailey, often projected in the top four, slipping to

eighth overall.

This mix of free agency spending and draft possibilities makes Washington's future even

more exciting to watch as the offseason unfolds.
