The 2025 NFL draft is less than a month away, and the draft boards are starting to shake up with prospects falling down their projections, while others rise above their previous rankings. The Washington Commanders have to nail this draft class to continue to build their young core, while also selecting rookie contributors to get back to the NFC championship game. Here's a look at a full 7-round mock draft for the Commanders with trades!
Round: 2 Pick: 37 (via LV)
TreVeyon Henderson, RB, Ohio State
The Washington Commanders trade back from pick 29 in this mock draft to collect more draft assets after seeing how the board falls. They trade pick 29 in exchange for pick 37, pick 108, and pick 180 from the Las Vegas Raiders. There will be a run on talented running backs in the second round, and the Commanders get it started by selecting the Virginia native TreVeyon Henderson out of Ohio State. Henderson is a complete back who can be a playmaker in the running game with his long speed and agility, as well as the passing game with his receiving abilities and willingness to pass-block. Henderson has all the makings of a franchise running back for the Washington Commanders and a culture setter in the locker room.

Round: 2 Pick: 61
Oluwafemi Oladejo, EDGE, UCLA
Oluwafemi Oladejo has been the fastest riser in the NFL draft this offseason, and he looks to be a hot commodity for a lot of teams, with his list of top 30 visits planned after already visiting Washington. Oladejo made a name for himself at the Senior Bowl in February when he showcased his skills as a pass-rusher against some of the top draft prospects in the country. The former linebacker made the natural transition to the edge position in his final college season, while sharpening his pass-rushing moves on the defensive line in a short period of time. There's still a lot of raw untapped potential to be unlocked at he next level, but the athletic upside will be well worth the selection at pick 61 if he isn't taken before then. Dan Quinn could possibly have his newer version of Micah Parsons, while Oladejo reunites with his former linebacker coach, Ken Norton Jr.

Round: 4 Pick: 108
Kyle Williams, WR, Washington State
Washington added Deebo Samuel via trade during the NFL combine, but still needs to add younger pieces to develop in the wide receiver room, and do so by selecting Kyle Williams with pick 108. Williams was another name that impressed at the Senior Bowl in front of NFL coaches and scouts against the top defensive backs in the draft. The former ...
