Here is a 2022 NFL draft pick-by-pick breakdown for the Washington Commanders :

Round 1 (No. 16 overall, from Colts through Eagles and Saints) - Jahan Dotson, WR, Penn State: The 5-11, 178-pounder with 4.4 speed and supple hands is either a great complement to established Commanders WR Terry McLaurin ... or his eventual replacement as WR1 in D.C. Dotson, who should significantly expand the field for new QB Carson Wentz , can also add pop as a returner. Draft tracker

Round 2 (47, from Colts) - Phidarian Mathis, DT, Alabama: A team captain for the Tide who can two-gap and shut down run lanes. The 6-4, 310-pounder also showed he could get to quarterbacks in 2021, erupting for nine sacks. He joins former 'Bama stars Jonathan Allen and Daron Payne on the Commanders D-line. Draft tracker

Round 3 (98, compensatory, from Saints) - Brian Robinson, Jr., RB, Alabama: He ran for 1,343 yards and 14 TDs last year but also mixed in 35 catches. A load at 6-2, 225 pounds (with 4.53 speed), he could cut into Antonio Gibson's touch tally in 2022. Draft tracker
