This article discusses the Washington Commanders' strategic draft decisions, focusing on the safety position after losing player Jeremy Chinn to the Raiders. Although they acquired veteran safety Will Harris to help strengthen the defense, experts suggest that selecting Malaki Starks, a highly-rated safety, in the draft would fortify the team's secondary further. Starks' instincts and talent make him an appealing option, particularly as the draft offers other athletic safety prospects like Nick Emmanwori. The Commanders' approach showcases their intent to build a competitive defense in the upcoming season.
Washington addressed the issue in free agency by signing Will Harris from the Saints, but should the instinctive Starks still be on the board, the Commanders would be wise to double down at the position.
At 29 years old, Harris is the physical, competitive player head coach Dan Quinn desires on his roster. He's a willing tackler and can handle himself in coverage - two qualities the Commanders needed more of on their defense in 2024.
