In anticipation of the 2024 NFL Draft, which will be held April 24 - 26 at Lambeau Field in Green Bay, Wisconsin, here's a compilation of various league experts' predictions about what the Washington Commanders will do with the No. 29 overall pick. Check back weekly until the draft for more updates.

Selection: Omarion Hampton, RB, UNC (April 10)

• Analysis: Most projections have Omarion Hampton off the board long before this stage of the first round. While that is likely, there is the possibility that he is available later than expected. Hampton gives Washington a three-down back that will take some of the pressure off Jayden Daniels.

Selection: Kenneth Grant, DT, Michigan (April 10)

• Analysis: After releasing Jonathan Allen prior to free agency, the Commanders have work to do on their defensive line. Considering coach Dan Quinn has a strong background on that side of the ball, finding Allen's replacement in a great class for that position is a priority. Grant is a monster at 331 pounds who also has the quickness and strength to collapse the pocket.

Selection: Omarion Hampton, RB, UNC (April 10)

• Analysis: This might feel like a luxury pick given the Commanders' needs elsewhere, but they would have some serious horsepower on offense with the addition of Hampton. He has been a star of the draft process coming off the backs of a dominant season running the ball for UNC. Hampton paired with Jayden Daniels would give the Commanders a chance to repeat last season and cement themselves as an elite running team for years to come.

Selection: Donovan Ezeiruaku, EDGE, Boston College (April 8)

• Analysis: Ezeiruaku fell just shy of Mike Green with 16.5 sacks last season; fittingly, the Boston College product comes off the board right behind his Marshall counterpart in this exercise, giving the Commanders a bona fide pass-rush presence. Ezeiruaku is on the smaller side for a true NFL defensive end, but Dan Quinn will get the most out of his abilities.

Selection: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona (April 8)

• Analysis: The Commanders are most likely addressing a good (but aging) defense with their first pick, but if the draft were to fall as projected here, the galloping 6-4, 219-pound McMillan might offer too much upside to ignore. He's regarded by some as a top-10 candidate, offering a unique blend of size, body control and ball skills.

Expert: Marcus Mosher, The 33rd Team

Selection: James Pearce Jr., EDGE, Tennessee (April 10)

• Analysis: Dan Quinn has had a lot of success with twitchy, undersized EDGE rushers, and Pearce certainly qualifies. He's likely not an every-down player right away, as he needs to put on some weight. Still, he can bend around the edge and create havoc on opposing quarterbacks. Pearce could fall further than this, but the Commanders are a good landing spot for him and his talent.

Selection: Omarion Hampton, RB, UNC (April 9)

• Analysis: With an immense run on pure pass rushers before this pick, I'll simply go best player available in Omarion Hampton (who is in the top 15 on my big board). He's extremely physical in everything he does from between the tackles running, to creating after the catch, down to pass protection. Good luck stopping this offense.

Expert: Mel Kiper Jr., ESPN

Selection: Shemar Steward, EDGE, Texas A&M (April 8)

• Analysis: Stewart's draft stock is hard to predict. As I mentioned earlier, I considered him for Cincinnati at No. 17. He comes off the board here, 12 spots later. It's the same dilemma that GMs will be struggling with on draft night. Stewart has all the talent in the world -- speed, explosiveness and power. But he also had 4.5 sacks over three seasons. If an NFL coaching staff can help him put it all together, the upside is immense. I'm betting on Commanders coach Dan Quinn unlocking that potential. Dante Fowler Jr.'s departure in free agency means there's a hole opposite Dorance Armstrong on the D-line.

Expert: Mason Cameron, Pro Football Focus

• Selection: Mykel Williams, EDGE, Georgia (April 7)

Analysis: The Commanders need to find the pièce de résistance of their defense for Dan Quinn's scheme, and Williams could very well be that foundation. He's a strong, versatile defender with a ceaseless motor. He has room to improve as a pass rusher, but his 86.6 PFF run-defense grade across the past three seasons (97th percentile) will help him be an early contributor.
