The more Washington loses, the higher it rises in the 2024 NFL draft order and this makes the fan base very happy.
The Washington Commanders’ loss against the New York Jets may be a gift in disguise as it may help them get a true franchise quarterback. Not only that, the team seems to be on board with losing as Washington Commanders head coach Ron Rivera announced the team’s decision to bench Sam Howell for Sunday’s game against the San Francisco 49ers who are coming off an embarrassing game against the Baltimore Ravens.
According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, there’s a belief around the NFL that the Commanders are “very interested” in USC star quarterback Caleb Williams, who is projected to be the No. 1 pick in the 2024 NFL draft.
“The Commanders, with a break here or there over the next couple of weeks, could find themselves in position to either draft Williams or trade up a spot or two to get him,” Graziano wrote.
The 2024 NFL draft has multiple intriguing quarterback prospects with names like Caleb Williams, North Carolina quarterback Drake Maye, and LSU QB Jayden Daniels.
At 4-11, the Commanders are currently projected to have the No. 3 pick in the 2024 draft. The team is on a six-game losing streak that doesn’t look to be ending any time soon.

If the Commanders finish at No. 3 or move up to No. 2, they can land one of the top passers. If they do not, they can send a package to get them what they want.
