Washington Commanders first-round draft pick Mississippi State cornerback Emmanuel Forbes, talks during a news conference at the team's NFL football training facility in Ashburn, Va., Friday, April 28, 2023. This Commanders draft probably isn't moving the needle on what's going to be a mediocre team in 2023. Mississippi State cornerback, their first-round pick, can be a starter in this league, but at 166 pounds he faces a tough transition to get going in the NFL.
A coach in Ron Rivera that's potentially on the hot seat needs more than what the Commanders have acquired.K.J. Henry was pegged as a sleeper along the defensive line and the Commanders needed to exit this draft class with at least some quality depth in case Chase Young does end up walking in free agency at the end of his contract. Henry doesn’t have elite traits, but he was a solid playmaker for Clemson along the defensive line. Nice pickup by the Commanders at this point.
