No. 2- Washington Commanders

In the first year of their new branding, the Commanders will be bringing back a similar unit for Washington fans.

Terry McLaurin remains one of the more underrated receivers in the NFL but his numbers were a bit down last season. However, he still had quite the year for this Washington squad with 1,053 yards and five touchdowns.

The Commanders will look for boosted production from his as well as the rest of this core, and the bulk of that could come from Curtis Samuel.

Samuel is a player who can be put just about anywhere on the field, but Washington should look to involve him in the receiving game as much as possible. He can make the best of corners miss in open space, and has the dynamic ability to create big plays for Carson Wentz and this offense.

In terms of additions, Washington has made none to their unit, but they did re sign Cam Sims to a new one-year contract worth just over $2.5 million.

The Commanders will also have to try to work in who their WR3 will be, but this team has multiple options with Antonio Gandy-Golden, Sims, Dyami Brown, and Dax Milne.

Depth for Washington could use some new additions potentially on the second and third days of the draft, but McLaurin is good enough to carry most of the load for the time being.
