Matthew Golden overtook Josh Conerly for the most mocked player to the Commanders this week.
Position Focus
Marshon Lattimore will be one of the starters at cornerback but who will be playing opposite him is in question. Mike Sainristil played the other outside corner position, but the coaches may desire to move him back to the slot where they intended for him to play last season before the position fell apart. Several players the Commanders might be interested in the draft are:
Shavon Revel
Shavon Revel is a monster CB prospect.
He’s listed at 6’3, 193lbs and is expected to BLOW UP the Combine.
In just 15 career starts at ECU, he’s put up 12 PBUs and 3 picks while allowing a 42.2% completion rate and 59.7 passer rating.

Trey Amos
Trey Amos is a suffocating presence at CB.
Allowed a 54.5 passer rating in 2024, including a 10 PBUs and 3 picks. He DOMINATES in press-zone looks and is also shutdown in man.
Has developed into a top 50 pick at Ole Miss after one year at Bama and three years at UL-Lafayette. pic.twitter.com/l8Vfwx7uy4

Benjamin Morrison
Benjamin Morrison is LOCKDOWN.
Started all three years at Notre Dame and has a career 44.1 passer rating allowed with 12 PBUs and 9 picks.
He’s physical at the catch point with good ball skills and his play strength makes him effective in the run game.

Jahdae Barron
Jahdae Barron is DOMINANT.
9 PBUs, 5 picks, and 0 TDs allowed in 2024 to go with just 279 yds allowed.
He’s the most physical and versatile DB in the class, capable of playing the boundary, safety, or wreaking havoc as a nickel.
Barron is a top 10 player and an elite talent. pic.twitter.com/Ssb4F4p3AW

It should be noted that Revel and Morrison are coming off injuries that curtailed their 2024 seasons.
