The Washington Commanders<\/a> will pick at No. 7, and where the franchise will go at that selection is a big topic of conversation.<\/p>\n

Given the free agency splurge on defense, the common thought is that the franchise could look to add some weapons for Jayden Daniels.\u00a0<\/p>\n

We have seen receiver Carnell Tate mocked to Washington, and Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love mocked to the Commanders as well.<\/p>\n

And for Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, Love would be a great gift for Daniels.<\/p>\n

“Taking Love would allow the Commanders to take run-game burden and hits off QB Jayden Daniels as new OC David Blough remakes the offense,” Breer wrote<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Daniels needs help<\/p>\n

Either running back or receiver is where the Commanders should look to strengthen with their first pick, given the needs of the roster.<\/p>\n

Outside of Terry McLaurin, Daniels’ weapons in the passing game are rather limited as far as a genuine fear factor, and behind Rachaad White, there isn’t another back who will strike fear in a defense.<\/p>\n

Yes, Jacory Croskey-Merritt showed flashes last season, but Daniels needs more, and Love will give the offense an instant injection of electricity, both as a runner and pass-catcher.<\/p>\n

Getting Daniels all the help he can get should be the main item on the menu for Washington as the franchise will go as far as No. 5 takes them.<\/p>\n

Which won’t be too far if his weapons aren’t upgraded.<\/p>\n
