The Washington Commanders are in need of upgrading their wide receiver room this offseason.

While that move could be done with the No. 29 overall pick, the Commanders could also get aggressive on the trade market.

Bleacher Report writer Alex Ballentine listed Jacksonville Jaguars wide receiver Christian Kirk as an option for the Commanders.

Captain Kirk to the rescue?

"The Commanders are the perfect example of how nice it can be to hit on a rookie quarterback. Jayden Daniels has changed the entire outlook of the franchise and they now have the resources to really help him out this offseason," Ballentine writes.

"They are going to be a hot spot for any receivers who could be available. At the very least they could target a player like Christian Kirk as an established veteran who could take on multiple roles in the offense."

Kirk, 28, played in just eight games for the Jags this season before breaking his collarbone in Week 8. However, he is expected to make a full recovery, and given the fact that he is coming off of a big injury, the Commanders might be able to get him for a bargain.
