Washington Commanders 2024 NFL draft picks: Full list by round

The Washington Commanders have nine picks in the 2024 NFL draft, tied for the third most, including No. 2 overall, three of the first 40 and six of the top 100.

They don't have picks in the fourth or sixth round because of the trade of quarterback Sam Howell to the Seattle Seahawks, but the Commanders did pick up another third-rounder (No. 78) and fifth-rounder (No. 152) in that deal.

Washington almost assuredly will select its next signal-caller with the second selection, but which prospect it's targeting is a matter of conjecture.

The 2024 NFL draft will take place at Campus Martius Park and Hart Plaza in Detroit from April 25 through April 27. Round 1 will begin April 25 at 8 p.m. ET, while Rounds 2 and 3 are on April 26 starting at 7 p.m. ET. Rounds 4 through 7 begin at noon ET on April 27. The draft will be broadcast on ESPN, ABC, ESPN+ and the ESPN App. There are 257 total picks in the draft. 

Here's the full list of the Washington Commanders draft picks by round, along with a look at their top roster needs headed into the 2024 season.

Top three needs: QB, OT, CB. With the No. 2 pick in the draft, Washington has a chance to find its franchise quarterback -- whether it's Jayden Daniels or Drake Maye -- especially after trading Sam Howell, last year's starter. Since Kirk Cousins left after the 2017 season, Washington is 30th in Total QBR. Meanwhile, the Commanders have no starting left tackle after releasing Charles Leno Jr., so they will have to draft one. Luckily, it's a good draft at the position. Finally, new coach Dan Quinn wants to employ a blitzing, aggressive defense that features man coverage, but Washington lacks a true No. 1 corner. Last year's first-round pick, Emmanuel Forbes, struggled and a new staff can't assume he'll improve. -- John Keim
