Most recently, April's draft was in Green Bay.

The 2025 edition is heading to Pittsburgh.

Washington is in a good place. The Commanders announced a deal in late April that will bring the team back to the stadium site in the city that housed the team from 1961 through 1996.

And soon enough, the draft is coming.

It'll give Commanders fans the opportunity to cheer for the players that'll join franchise QB Jayden Daniels in the task of chasing a Super Bowl. And it'll happen at one of the nation's most notable locations.
