The 2023 NFL Draft is almost upon us and the Washington Commanders could use a left tackle with Paris Johnson Jr.'s credentials at No. 16 overall.After a busy period of free agency for the Washington Commanders, attention is now firmly on which college prospects will come into the fold via the 2023 NFL Draft.

The Washington Commanders lost to the New York Giants 20-12 in primetime and currently sit in the 7th seed in the NFC with a 7-6-1 record.They had a short week to prepare to travel to the West Coast to face the San Francisco 49ers on Saturday afternoon.Washington is coming into this game as a big road underdog, but the line has dropped to 6 1/2 since it opened at 7. This is a huge game for both teams, and has massive playoff implications for the NFC.

The Washington Commanders took promising offensive tackle Darnell Wright in The Draft Network's latest mock following the NFL Scouting Combine.With the 2023 NFL Scouting Combine firmly in the books, the Washington Commanders and others have plenty to ponder.Although attention quickly turns to the upcoming free-agent frenzy, those in power now have a broader indication of which prospects are potential targets after watching them in action and speaking with many throughout a busy week in Indianapolis.

SANTA CLARA  No matter how sour their Washington tenures ended, Trent Williams and Kyle Shanahan are playing for championship stakes now with the 49ers, and that factors into Saturday's approach against the visiting Commanders (7-6-1).It's so hard to go forward when you're looking back, right?Williams said at his locker Thursday.

The 49ers will be without six-time Pro Bowl fullback Kyle Juszczyk this week after he had surgery Monday for a broken finger sustained against the Kansas City Chiefs.Most likely he won't play this week and we'll get him after the bye, coach Kyle Shanahan said during a conference call.With Juszczyk out, the 49ers will look to tight ends to take up the slack and line up in the backfield in formations that call for a fullback when they face the Los Angeles Rams Sunday at SoFi Stadium.

SANTA CLARA - Here is how the 49ers (14-4) graded in Saturday's 41-23 wild-card playoff win over the Seattle Seahawks (9-9):
PASS OFFENSE: A Brock Purdy stepped it up big time after halftime when he completed 9-of-11 passes for 185 yards with two touchdowns.That added to his incredible mystique through seven games since replacing an injured Jimmy Garoppolo.

SANTA CLARA The 49ers have something absurdly close to a full squad for the team's final home game of the season a Divisional Round playoff matchup with the longtime rival Cowboys.Only quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo and defensive back Ambry Thomas were the only two players on the Niners' roster who were unavailable for selection to the team's 46-man gameday roster Sunday.

The 49ers offense was hitting on all cylinders against Arizona on Monday night.Big play after big play led to San Francisco hanging 38 points on the Cardinals defense.In this week's film review we'll look at how one play led to another for a couple of big touchdowns, a few explosive plays, and a look at Trent Williams.

The 49ers will be well represented at the 2023 NFL Pro Bowl.A total of 13 players from San Francisco have been selected, six to the roster and seven as alternates.Those selected include Talanoa Hufanga, Fred Warner, Nick Bosa, George Kittle, Kyle Juszczyk, and Trent Williams.Hufanga makes his first Pro Bowl in his first season as a starter.

SANTA CLARA - Celebrating a 4-4 record seems rather, um, bold.But the 49ers have a renewed sense of playoff worth entering their bye.With the season's halfway point approaching, it's time to bestow midseason awards:
OFFENSIVE MVP Jimmy Garoppolo, quarterback "It's a good argument to make," one veteran player said Tuesday, in agreement, that Garoppolo merits this honor, more so than Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel.
