Dani Dennis-Sutton, EDGE, Penn State
Paulsen’s projection: Third round
Height: 6-5
Weight: 265
2025 stats: 42 tackles, 8.5 sacks, 3 FFs, 3 PDs
Why: He’s a big ole’ hoss. He’s kind of in this long lineage of Penn State edge rushers with Chop Robinson, Abdul Carter, all these guys that have come through. He’s a tier down [from Bailey]. I think you could take him with that third-round pick at 71. He’s bigger; he’s got a complement of moves. He’s more of a power rusher…but I think there’s more athletic juice. There’s more “pass-rusher” there. He’s got long arms. He’s got everything you want. He’s big; he’s heavy-handed. So, if you want just a solid rotational piece, he kind of falls into that mold.
A to Z Sports
Logan Fano, Utah
Logan Fano is an older draft prospect at 24 years old, but he has a high floor as a big-time run stopper who can still get to the quarterback. He doesn’t have the flashy sack numbers with only five in 2025, but he has a 24.5% win rate in true pass rush sets, so he wins his matchups. Fano has a bigger frame that you want in an EDGE defender at 6-5, 260 pounds, and a lot of experience that can help him produce day one for a defense.
Riggo’s Rag
Nicki Jhabvala from The Athletic thought the Commanders could lock down starting center Tyler Biadasz at some stage this offseason. He’s heading into the final year of his deal, and tying him up long-term would give quarterback Jayden Daniels even more stability beyond 2026.
“The Commanders also need to lock up their center for the long term to keep their front five intact for years to come, and to provide [Jayden] Daniels some continuity. Biadasz has a $1 million roster bonus due April 1 and carries an $11 million salary cap hit for 2026.”Nicki Jhabvala
Biadasz is a solid player. He’s been a dependable presence over the last two seasons, communicating pre-snap and effectively blending run blocking and pass protection. While the former Wisconsin standout isn’t a world-beater by any stretch, the Commanders could do a lot worse.
At 28, Biadasz has a lot of good football left. Dan Quinn knows him well from their time together on the Dallas Cowboys, and he made the lineman one of his most pressing targets in 2024 free agency. He’s done nothing to suggest he isn’t deserving of a new contract.

Many won’t know the name. Some will recognize the name “Joe Cullen” but are not sure who he is. A few will recall that he recently interviewed for the Washington Commanders’ defensive coordinator position.
One concern is that, with so many openings this offseason, the top...
