The Washington Commanders entered day three of the 2022 NFL draft with five selections: two in the fourth round, one in the sixth round and two in the seventh round.
The Commanders used the No. 113 overall selection on Louisiana safety Percy Butler and were set to select again at No. 120. However, instead of making the pick, Washington traded out of the fourth round, sending the No. 120 selection to Ron Rivera’s old team — the Carolina Panthers.
Here are the terms of the trade:

Washington was previously without a fifth-round selection after trading it last year to move up for long snapper Camaron Cheeseman. In the trade with the Panthers, the Commanders add the No. 144 and No. 149 selections with many talented players still available.
Washington is now without a sixth-round selection but has two seventh-round picks.
