Commanders Mock Draft: Love at 7, Trade Down Scenarios

On March 22nd, with the NFL draft just one month away, the take command podcast ran its

own mock draft for the top seven picks, hosted by former Washington Titan Logan Paulson

and co-host Grant Paulson, it focused on the commanders holding the seventh spot.

They projected the Raiders grabbing quarterback Fernando Mendoza from Indiana at number

one, followed by defensive talent and offensive tackles going.

To lead the teams like the Jets, Cardinals, Titans, Giants and Browns, at seven, the commanders

landed running back Jeremiah Love from Notre Dame.

Logan broke down the general manager mindset at that position, emphasizing the need to target

proven top players rather than reaching for needs.

Grant agreed, noting how high stakes demand elite football ability this early.

Meanwhile, Grant ran a draft simulator that suggested a trade down from the Browns at

six.

Evelyn would send picks 24, 39 and 70 for Washington's seventh and a late rounder, and Logan

said he would jump on that for.

More shots in the top 70.

These scenarios highlight the flexibility teams like the commanders might explore to build

depth across their roster as draft a nears.
