Four first-round offensive options for Commanders

Peter Skoronski, OT, Northwestern

Even after signing tackle Andrew Wylie and center Nick Gates in free agency, the Commanders need help on the offensive line. Skoronski is among the best tackles in the draft and could help turn the unit around.

Skoronski, who can play tackle and guard, ranks 10th on Mel Kiper Jr.'s big board. It seems unlikely he'll be available at 16, but if he is, Washington should take him in a heartbeat.

Darnell Wright, offensive tackle, Tennessee

Wright is more likely than Skoronski to be available when the Commanders pick (Kiper has him 24th on his big board).

Wright is praised for his size (6-foot-5 and 333 pounds) and power, and is described by Kiper as the "best pure right tackle in the draft." He may not be ready to start right away, but the potential is there.

Jahmyr Gibbs, RB, Alabama

The Commanders seem set at RB with Brian Robinson and Antonio Gibson as their 1-2 punch. However, Gibson saw his role decline last season, and in today's NFL, you can't have too many quality running backs -- especially one who's a passing threat such as Gibbs. He's ranked 18th overall by Kiper. 

The draft begins Thursday in Kansas City.
