Not every player added with a 2025 NFL Draft pick will join the team over the weekend. The Washington Commanders traded a pick in this year’s draft last month to acquire San Francisco 49ers WR Deebo Samuel

That trade finalized this weekend, so it’s a good time to wrap a bow on it.

Original terms of the Deebo Samuel trade

49ers receive: Fifth-round pick in 2025 NFL Draft

Commanders receive: Deebo Samuel

Now that the NFL draft order has been set, we can update that with actual pick numbers.

Saints receive: 147th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft

Commanders receive: Deebo Samuel

What do the Commanders expect from the Deebo Samuel trade?

The Washington Commanders went to the NFC Championship Game last season, and are looking to take the next step with Jayden Daniels at QB. Washington traded for a familiar face in Deebo Samuel, and GM Adam Peters knows him very well from their time together on the West Coast. The Commanders didn’t extend Samuel, who’s on the last year of his deal. They did rework his contract to add guarantees and more incentives.

Kliff Kingsbury is getting a lot of help on the offensive side of the ball via free agency, trades, and now the NFL draft. Jayden Daniels was the driving force on a surprisingly good Commanders team last year, and Washington’s brain trust recognized they need to give him better protection and weapons. Samuel is expected to be a big part of the offense this season, and utilized all over the field.

What did the 49ers do with the pick from the Deebo Samuel trade?

When San Francisco uses the 147th selection in the draft, we will update. The pick from the Commanders is originally the New Orleans Saints pick, but it was part of the Marshon Lattimore trade.

San Francisco picked Oregon running back Jordan James with the pick.
