The opinions expressed in this article do not reflect those of the team.

The Washington Commanders made several efforts to update their roster this offseason, and it has helped answer some of the questions about the team heading into Dan Quinn's first year as the head coach.

For example, we now know the future of the quarterback position will rest with LSU Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels, even though he hasn't officially been named the starter yet. The linebacker position, one of the biggest weak spots on the team for the last few seasons, has been upgraded with the likes of Frankie Luvu and Bobby Wagner, so much so that they are considered by some to be the best linebacker group in the NFL.

While some of those concerns have been put to rest, there are still a few question marks surrounding the roster. That's what training camp is for, but since we're all (im)patiently waiting for the first practice on July 24, we're going to try solving some of those problems ourselves.

Commanders.com has been examining three main questions about the team. Last week, we discussed which player could start at left tackle. Next, we'll shift to wide receiver and look at the depth at the bottom of the position.

Who fills the depth chart outside of Terry McLaurin and Jahan Dotson?

The top of the Commanders' wide receiver room is clearer than most of the roster. Terry McLaurin, who is coming off his fourth consecutive 1,000-yard season, will be the undisputed No. 1 target, while Jahan Dotson has a firm hold on the No. 2 spot.

The rest of the position, however, is an open competition, and there will be 11 other receivers during training camp vying for a spot.

Well, technically there will be 10 players if you don't include third-round pick Luke McCaffrey. General manager Adam Peters and his staff were excited about adding the quarterback-turned-receiver, both because of his family's history and his own talents he put on display at Nebraska and Rice. He was a regular standout during OTAs and minicamp, establishing a rapport with Daniels and flaunting some impressive route running.

So, McCaffrey isn't going anywhere for several reasons, but how far will he rise up the depth chart? It already feels like he's the primary slot player, although he'll still have to earn that in practice. For now, though, let's just say he's WR3 unless proven otherwise.

That leads us to WR4, which is where the competition becomes more muddled. It's a hodgepodge of players from the previous regime, undrafted free agents and newcomers. If we're going by investments, then Olamide Zaccheaus could be considered the top candidate. Though he's coming off a 164-yard season with the Eagles, where he was behind A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith, his final season as a full-time starter with the Falcons led to 533 yards and three scores.

Special teams could also play a role in deciding which receivers make the cut in August. Zaccheaus has experience covering punts and kicks, and he has already expressed a willingness to do the same in Washington. As for returners, Dax Milne and Jamison Crowder are back and will look to show how they fit in the new kickoff and kickoff return rules. Both caught kicks in OTAs, but the competition, which includes them and several others, will continue throughout camp.

There's also Dyami Brown, who has had a puzzling career as he enters the final season of his rookie contract. Brown was drafted to be a deep threat, and while there have been moments of success, the best example of him doing what he was picked for came two years ago.

Every year brings a new batch of "training camp heroes," and perhaps that will come from the receiver position in 2024. Players like Mitchell Tinsley, Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint, Damiere Byrd and others all had their moments during OTAs. If one manages to stand out, whether it's on offense or special teams, it could be enough to sway the coaches.

It'll all come down to how many receivers the Commanders decide to keep. Let's say six players end up making the cut. McLaurin, Dotson and McCaffrey are all in, so we can end this with a prediction on who will win the final three spots.

Zaccheaus seems like an easy choice for WR4 because of his experience and special teams experience. For those same reasons, it makes sense to keep Crowder on the roster. Not only did the team make the effort to re-sign him, but he also has the most return experience on the team. Like the rest of the league, the Commanders will try some new ideas to give themselves an advantage with the restructured kickoff, but having someone who knows what to do in those scenarios will still be valuable.

The last spot could come down to whether Brown can finally live up to reputation as someone who can flip the field. If that's the case, then it's an easy decision to give him the last spot. If not, then a player like Rosemy-Jacksaint, who had a spectacular one-handed catch during rookie minicamp, could fill that gap.
