Washington Commanders draft picks 2022: Round-by-round selections
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
