How will the Washington Commanders' 2025 rookie class fare this season?NFL Network analyst Bucky Brooks compiled his top 10 non-first-round rookies who have shown they can make an impact this season.

Let's hope Brooks is incorrect in his analysis, because Brooks did not select any of the Commanders' non-first-round picks.Our focus in this story will be the Commanders' non-first-round selections, but here is the list by Brooks, in case you want to see rookies he thinks will shine.GM Adam Peters' non-first round selections that shined last season were:Mike Sainristil (CB) Round 2 (50): Started inside, then the team moved him to outside CB because he was better than the outside corners playing.Brandon Coleman (OT) Round 3 (67): The team needed Coleman at LT last season.

This season, he has been moved back to his more natural position at left guard and is expected to be the starter.In the 2025 preseason, the Commanders had three non-first-round selections who showed promise in games and training camp.Trey Amos (CB) Round 2 (61): Amos has impressed receivers and coaches thus far and is expected to start at outside corner, which will also allow Sainristil to return to his more natural position at inside corner.Jaylin Lane (WR) Round 4 (128:) Lane has flashed as a receiver and is expected to be the No.

1 punt returner as well.

Lane is going to be asked to replace Dyami Brown, using his speed to take the top off of opposing defenses.Jacory (Bill) Croskey-Merritt (RB) Round 7 (245): Bill has flashed in both training camp and preseason games.
