The Washington Commanders won only five games last season. But if there was any solace, it's that Adam Peters' 2025 NFL Draft class largely made positive impressions.
First-round offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr. showed significant improvement as the year went along, establishing himself as a long-term puzzle piece. Second-round cornerback Trey Amos was promising before his season ended with a fractured fibula in Week 10. Seventh-rounder Jacory Croskey-Merritt was a revelation in the offensive backfield from the moment minicamp began, and fourth-round wide receiver Jaylin Lane had multiple punt return touchdowns.
That leaves only Kain Medrano, who struggled to make an impact in his first NFL campaign.
