Getty\u00a0Jauan Jennings scores a touchdown in the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
After drafting\u00a0Jayden Daniels\u00a0with the No. 2 pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the\u00a0Washington Commanders\u00a0could look to continue adding weapons around him. The team lost\u00a0Curtis Samuel\u00a0in free agency to the\u00a0Buffalo Bills\u00a0but added\u00a0Austin Ekeler\u00a0and others in free agency and the draft to give the No. 2 pick weapons. In a proposed trade with the\u00a0San Francisco 49ers\u00a0from Rico of Bleacher Report, the Commanders would land another weapon for Daniels.<\/p>\n
The deal doesn\u2019t land\u00a0Deebo Samuel\u00a0or\u00a0Brandon Aiyuk, but\u00a0Jauan Jennings. Rico\u2019s trade would send a fifth-round pick to the 49ers.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I got Jauan Jennings to the Commanders from the 49ers. They get a fifth-rounder in this one here. Obviously, this one is a no-brainer for me,\u201d\u00a0Rico said\u00a0on his NFL trade ideas stream. \u201cYou get help in the slot. I know Luke McCaffrey\u2019s there, but you get a big, experienced slot that you can work in with Jahan Dotson, they can work in with Scary Terry.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Washington Commanders have a legitimate Pro Bowler in\u00a0Terry McLaurin. However, outside of McLaurin, the weapons could improve.<\/p>\n
The Commanders\u2019 No. 2 receiver,\u00a0Jahan Dotson, had 518 yards on 49 receptions, averaging 10.6 yards per catch. Ekeler, viewed as a threat as a running back and wide receiver, had his fewest receiving yards since 2020 in the 2023 season.<\/p>\n
Heading into the season, as currently constructed, McLaurin\u2019s the only receiver on the roster who finished with more than 518 yards.<\/p>\n
Jennings didn\u2019t finish the 2023 season with more than 518 yards, either, but played on a San Francisco 49ers team with\u00a0Christian McCaffrey, Samuel, and Aiyuk. With the Commanders, Jennings could see a different role.<\/p>\n
The 26-year-old finished with 265 yards on 19 receptions, averaging 13.9 yards per catch. Jennings is also set to make just $4.8 million in 2024.<\/p>\n
The Washington Commanders, even after the draft, have a need for wide receiver help.<\/p>\n
Evan Winter of A to Z Sports listed the three biggest needs for the Commanders after the NFL draft, ranking wide receiver third.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Commanders drafted Luke McCaffrey and signed Olamide Zaccheaus in free agency, but the group still needs some more experienced help,\u201d\u00a0Winter wrote\u00a0on April 30. \u201cMuch like the cornerback room \u2013 if even one of Terry McLaurin or Jahan Dotson miss time then it\u2019s not a good situation.<\/p>\n
\u201cWashington also needs to add more size to the room. As it stands, the team only has one wideout over 6-foot-1 and that\u2019s 6-foot-4 Brycen Tremaine. There\u2019s no one who can go up and high point the ball or win contested red zone catches. When you have a QB like Daniels, you need a wideout that can do that.\u201d<\/p>\n
The San Francisco 49ers receiver would give them height like Winter wrote as he\u2019s 6-foot-3.<\/p>\n
With the decision to draft a quarterback with the No. 2 pick, putting help around him can only help. Bryan Manning of Commanders Wire wrote on April 26 that by drafting Daniels, the goal is to give him all the help he needs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
