The Commanders are in a great position to select the ideal player because they have the second overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Whoever Washington ends up selecting will have McLaurin as their top wide receiver. While McLaurin plays a major role in the Commanders’ offense, he is under center will change the dynamic of what Washington tries to do with the ball, via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk.
“We’ll get one of them elite guys, so I’m just looking forward to whoever they bring in, helping bring them along,” McLaurin said. “Going into my sixth year I know the lay of the land, and anything I can do to help them become acclimated and part of the team, I’m going to do that.”
“My job when they get here is to help bring them along as well as I can, because we’ll go as far as the quarterback goes,” McLaurin continued.
McLaurin did everything he could to in 2023. Starting all 17 games for the third year in a row, McLaurin caught 79 passes for 1,002 yards and four touchdowns. It continued his impressive run since joining Washington in 2019. Over 80 games total, McLaurin has caught 378 passes for 5,283 yards and 25 touchdowns.
However, McLaurin could only do so much at receiver. The Commanders were firmly held back by their quarterback play in 2023. Sam Howell – who has since been traded to the Seattle Seahawks – threw for 3,946 yards, 21 touchdowns and 21 interceptions.
While the Commanders could use help around their roster, it’s clear that quarterback is their biggest need. Terry McLaurin is now just waiting to see how Washington will end up with under center.
