The Washington Commanders are embracing a revamped offensive line as they open training camp, focusing on bolstering the protection for their star quarterback, Jayden Daniels. The unit features three returning starters, but they are not necessarily in their previous positions. Center Tyler Biadasz and right guard Sam Cosmi remain key players, while rookie Brandon Coleman steps in at left tackle. A major addition to the lineup is Laremy Tunsil, a five-time Pro Bowler acquired via trade, bringing veteran experience and talent to the offensive front, enhancing the overall dynamics of the Commanders' offense.

Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has taken a more aggressive approach this offseason after witnessing the departure of key players like Tyler Biadasz, Dorance Armstrong, and Tony Pollard last year. The team focused on strengthening its roster through the draft, selecting guard Tyler Booker and running back Jaydon Blue. This strategic pivot indicates a commitment to improving the team's competitiveness in the league.

Three former Wisconsin Badgers have made Pro Football Focus' list of the NFL's top centers for the 2025 season. Joe Tippmann of the New York Jets ranks 11th, showing substantial growth from his rookie year. Tyler Biadasz, now with the Washington Commanders, follows closely at 15th, highlighting his versatile blocking skills. Tanor Bortolini, playing for the Indianapolis Colts, comes in at 30th and is vying for a starting position after a solid debut season.

Notably, Tippmann has started 31 games in his first two seasons and recorded a top-10 overall PFF grade among centers in 2024, indicating he's on an upward trajectory in his career. Biadasz’s performance has been impressive, particularly in the early part of the last season, where he ranked second in pass-blocking grade before facing injuries. Bortolini's adaptability was key in his rookie year, as he stepped in during critical situations, already showing promise for his future.

The ongoing 2025 NFL Draft is still buzzing with excitement as teams aim to enhance their rosters. After two days of selections, numerous talents remain available, including Colorado quarterback Shedeur Sanders, who could potentially be a game-changer for teams like the Tennessee Titans, who hold the 104th pick. Over the last five drafts, several late-round picks have emerged as stars, such as Tyler Biadasz and Brock Purdy, proving that hidden gems can be found beyond the first few rounds.

As teams strategize their remaining picks, the spotlight is on the best prospects left, including Deone Walker, Jack Sawyer, and CJ West, all of whom are poised for impactful careers in the NFL. The draft continues on Saturday, with analysts eager to dissect each choice's implications on teams' futures.
