Commanders traded up with the Texans to select Virginia Tech WR Jaylin Lane with the No. 128 overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft.

Lane, who saw a 19 percent target share in two of his final three collegiate seasons, is as speedy as any wideout in the 2025 draft class. His 40-yard dash time ranked in the 98th percentile and his burst score was also in the 98th percentile. Lane is unlikely to crack three-wideout sets in Washington’s offense. “Lane can stretch defenses from the slot with his build-up speed and is a viable option in catch-and-run packages near the line of scrimmage,” according to NFL.com’s analysis of Lane. “He gives too many clues as a route runner and needs to work on running repeatable, fluid routes as a pro. While he’s tough as a runner, he can’t muster the play strength or ball skills to win the contested-catch game. Lane’s best qualities give him a chance to stick on a roster, but he might need to earn his keep as a return man early on.”
