Tracking all of the prospects Washington is meeting
The 2025 NFL draft starts Thursday, April 24th at 8pm, and will be broadcast live from Green Bay, WI. Teams have been scouting these players for years, and the pre-draft process gained national attention at the post-season college all-star games and ramps up again at Pro Days and the NFL Combine. Teams will have access to prospects for formal and informal interviews at these events, but as the draft approaches, they are also able to host 30 players for formal visits. They can also hold workouts and local prospect pro days to get more information on players they have interest in, or players they want teams to think they have interest in.
GM Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn were hired last year by managing partner Josh Harris to “recalibrate” the Washington Commanders after four years with Ron Rivera in charge of football operations. They completely revamped the team, and drafted Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick. The Commanders finished the season with a 12-5 record, and went into the playoffs as the No. 6 seed in the NFC. Washington defeated the Buccaneers and Lions, before falling to the Eagles in the NFC Championship game. Now they’re reloading for another run at a championship.
The Washington Commanders have the No. 29 overall pick, and hold three picks within the top 100. They have seven picks total in this year’s draft after several trades rearranged their picks. Adam Peters might not be satisfied with that, and could continue to make deals during the draft to improve their position.
Below is a list of the draft prospects that Washington has met with, and will be updated with private workouts and local pro day players.
