0:00It's March 27. You're listening to NFL News today, AI-powered NFL coverage. The Washington commanders are building up their wide receiver group this off-season. General manager Adam Peters went after several free agents but missed out on a couple big names like Alec Pierce and Romeo Dubs. Instead, he brought back Traylon Berks on a new deal, added Van Jefferson, and got Diamy Brown to return to the team on a one-year contract after his. Stint with the Jaguars. Earlier this week, talks swirled around Brandon Ayuk, reuniting with quarterback Jaden Daniels, his old college teammate. But the 49ers are holding firm, likely waiting for a trade-offer rather than letting him walk. With Terry McLoren facing a huge $34 million cap, hit by 2027, Peters wants more depth to plan ahead. Fans and analysts are buzzing about whether the commanders should use their seventh overall draft pick on a receiver. As first round picks like Jahan, Dotson, and Josh Dotson both flamed out.

Looking at prospects, Ohio State's carnell take could go first off the board, but Cleveland at number 6 might snack him. Arizona State's Jordan Tyson has injury-red flags despite strong evaluations, while USC's McCuy Lemon might fit if they trade back into the 10-2. 15-Range. Peters could shop the pick for extra selections too. As free agency wraps up, all eyes turn to April's draft for what could reshape Washington's passing attack long-term.
