Entering Tuesday, the Washington Commanders had nine picks in the 2025 NFL draft. Washington had acquired extra picks due to the summer trades of wide receiver Jahan Dotson (Philadelphia Eagles) and defensive tackle John Ridgeway (New Orleans Saints).
If the 7-2 Commanders wanted to make a move at Tuesday’s NFL trade deadline, they were well-equipped to add talent to their NFC East-leading roster.
General manager Adam Peters did make a move, sending three 2025 NFL draft picks to the New Orleans Saints for four-time Pro Bowl cornerback Marshon Lattimore. The Commanders sent third, fourth, and sixth-round picks to New Orleans for Lattimore and received a fifth-round selection in return.
Peters had two third-round picks but sent the lower projected third-rounder to New Orleans. Also, the sixth-round pick Washington traded to the Saints was the original pick they sent to the Commanders in the Ridgeway deal.
So, how many 2025 NFL draft picks does Washington have remaining?
- First round
- Second round
- Third round
- Fifth round
- Seventh round
- Seventh round
- Seventh round
Peters’ first draft with Washington looks like a smashing success, led by quarterback Jayden Daniels, which features several contributors already.
While Peters dealt three picks, he retained the Commanders’ top three picks in next spring’s draft.
