"The Commanders have needs along their defensive front seven, specifically at edge rusher and linebacker. [Rueben] Bain has three sacks, 40 pressures and a time to first pressure of 2.58 seconds this season (32nd in the FBS) despite facing constant double-teams. The 6-3 275-pounder is versatile, with the strength to align as a 6-technique along the right side of the defense and as a 3-technique in speedier defensive line packages."
"Even though the Washington Commanders still have six games to navigate after the bye week, fans are already turning their attention to the offseason. That's a direct result of head coach Dan Quinn's squad plummeting after so much was expected before the campaign. Adam Peters has a lot of hard work ahead. The Commanders should have over $100 million in available salary-cap space,"
The Washington Commanders entered the season with high expectations but have declined, shifting fan focus to the offseason. Adam Peters faces a rebuild with more than $100 million in projected salary-cap space and only six draft selections. The roster requires youth and upgrades, especially along the defensive front seven at edge rusher and linebacker. The team is likely to hold a high first-round pick with the option to trade back for assets. Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. profiles as a versatile, high-upside prospect with pass-rush production who can play multiple defensive-line techniques. Aging veterans and impending free agency increase the urgency to add elite edge talent.
