BREAKING NEWS: Commanders Target Shemar Stewart in New Mock Draft to Bolster Pass Rush

The Washington Commanders are hoping to get better pass rushers during the 2025 NFL Draft.

CBS Sports writer Ryan Wilson conducted a recent mock draft that fills the exact need, taking Texas A&M's Shemar Stewart with the No. 29 overall pick.

Stewart to the Commanders?

"For an edge rusher Stewart is enormous. He'll play too high at times but he can collapse the pocket with his size/power/strength. He's got a quick first step, even for his size, with the power to shoot gaps. And when the bull rush doesn't get home, his huge frame allows him to knock down passes. He has a hair-on-fire motor who consistently plays with power and athleticism," Wilson writes.

Stewart didn't have major stats in college, recording just 4.5 sacks through three seasons, but his size will translate to the NFL and he should add some problems for opposing defensive coordinators in the league throughout his career.

The NFL Draft is scheduled for April 24-26.
