Jacory Croskey-Merritt is INSANE value for a 7th round pick. Only playing in one game in 2024 due to eligibility issues hurt his draft stock but he’s a baller and fits exactly what AP and DQ want in a Commander. pic.twitter.com/MKsqJdoaP0

CM (5-10, 206) is “a slippery runner with explosive feet,” per @dpbrugler.

Man can Jacory Croskey-Merritt play. He’ll immediately challenge for snaps in Washington & was one of the winners of the entire predraft process.
