Washington Commanders FULL 7-Round 2026 NFL Mock Draft

Welcome back to with the first pick where we're going team by team to build the perfect

seven round mod draft today. We're breaking down the Washington commanders. They're biggest

needs best fits and sleeper picks that could make their draft. I'm Ryan Wilson, the former

Titans GM, Ryan Carthon. Before we get going here, let us know in the comments, commanders

fans, who you would love to see Washington take a pick number seven. By the way, a quick

programming note here is to get through these things. Thanks as always for the comments.

And knowing that, I'll be sure to recap every single pick into the show for those of you

who are just listening and not watching us on YouTube. And to make sure we don't spend

too much time, Dylan and Dallion, Bruce and Shryker will give us a minute on the clock

for each pick as well as a 10 second warning. So we can get through this thing without

wasting your time. Let's get to it. Let's get the commanders going and build this perfect

draft. Ryan, as I noted, they have the seventh pick in round one and six total picks.

And they've been pretty busy this off season. Past roosters of Daffy O'Way, Caleb on

chase on. They had a linebacker Leo Chanel and an offense that got tied in Chica Conquoke

previously of the Titans, as you will know, and running back for shot white. So let's

continue building this roster here at picks seven. I heard a snicker from producer Shryker

because Jeremiah love is staring us in the face. Do you want to help Jane Daniels young

quarterback with a running back here? Are you thinking perhaps someone on defense?

Man, this is actually really tough for me if I'm being honest because I do see the fit

for Jeremiah love. But you sign and not saying never shot white is, you know, is a world

beater. But you sign for shot white. You signed your own for. You still have Bill Croskey

Marit. And Jeremy McNichols has given them some, you know, some good play, you know, in

spot areas. And I know you sign of Daffy O'Way, Caleb on chase on. Charles O'Mennon, he

gives you that interior flexibility to rush inside and you still have Dorian's Armstrong.

But I think if you have an opportunity to get a high end rusher like David Bailey, I think

you, you go there and you take David Bailey. And also too is because Caleb on chase on

does deal is only a one year deal. Yeah. So here's the math. And I agree with you. Here's

the math. If you're a commander fan and you can let us know we think about this commander

fans, you have pick seven and then you don't pick again to pick 71. So do you want Jeremiah

love and whoever the best ed rusher is at that point or wide receiver or do you want David

Bailey and then whoever the best running back is a pick 71 or wide receiver. So I think

that's the math that you do. And I think David Bailey fills a knee because I understand

they signed a couple guys. So Daffy O'Way and Caleb on chase on. But you can never have

enough ed rusher. David Bailey, I'm with you. Let's do it striker. And then we got to

wait till pick 71. And then I'm going to ask you to immediately look at the running backs.

Let's see if Rand has got image Johnson is still there. Just for fun. We don't have to take

him. He is long gone. My guy Jonah Coleman's there. Oh, there's image Johnson. So let's see

wide receivers too. In case someone super fancy fell to us and ran any other needs that you

think are paramount. And I just the right. You're not a Ted Hurts guy. Malachi feels I don't

think I would take him. I'm not a Ted Hurts guy. I'm just just not where everyone else is. Yeah,

that's right. You're not as high as him as I am. Let's look at corner. And then corner where

they have a meek Robertson and a nickel. And Mikey Sanders still as the outside corner. I think

he's better suited inside. Yeah. So Mike. Mike Sanders still. You've gotten they've gotten,

you know, some up and down play for him. But he's small as is a meek Robertson.

Trey Amos, you know, has played well for him. You sign a Kelo weather spoon, which, you know,

at this point of a Kelo's career, he's kind of a bit of a journeyman kind of spot start. So,

you know, I think we go IGB right here and give them a tall physical corner. That at worse,

he can he's going to help you on your special teams because of his speed and his ability to,

you know, to play fast and tough. So. Yeah. IGB or my guy and your guy Devon Moore and Devon Moore

ran a 4-5, but he plays fast. Go ahead and take IGB here, Striker. Either one of those guys

will be fine with big long outside cornerbacks. Next up, pick 147. So Nicholas Singleton's

in the face here. I don't necessarily hate that here because we're silently in round 5. So,

that's consideration. Any other positions you want to target the availability of?

Let's see, let's see center. So Nick Allegretti and Julian Good Jones are currently

the centers. All right, here's my here's my theory. Let's go let's go let's go back to the running backs.

And let's go Nicholas Singleton here. And then if our guy is there at 187, you take him.

All right. I think I know who our guy is on the interior. So Nick Singleton, the running back

goes at pick 147 and round 5. Now we're in round 6. And Pat Cougan is staring us in the face.

So when when? Get us a center and Pat Cougan. Great locker room guy. Really good football player.

Now we have two picks to go. We're in the round 6. Later in round 6 at pick 209. And we're just

going best available at this point. So let's look at defensive line because they moved on from

Jonathan Allen. They have to run pain and Johnny Newton and John in line and then they sign

Tim settle. Tim still have a, you know, a guy like shot Tuttle who's kind of played in a

in a variety of roles form. So maybe it's not a huge need anything else. So this is all the

defensive linemen that are available because I was going to say a guy like Zane DeRent

will be a good fit in terms of the gap penetrating attacking style would have been a good,

a good fit for them. Yeah, Zane looks to be gone. If you're looking for a gap penetrator,

Skyler Gil Howard is your guy 285. He's only six feet. So that's a special body type for that

position, but he gets after it. We can look at other positions as well. Let's look at wide receiver

because Traylon Berks is currently listed as a starter alongside scary Terry, of course,

in Luke McCaffrey. They sign Van Javerson. They have Yummy Brown. Kendrick Law is a big body

receiver who can win after the catch, not a precise route runner. I love the Trevor Payne

is settling popping up on these boards. Transferred from Syracuse, went to Penn State because he thought

he's going to catch more passes. That did not work out for him. Kobe Young is an athlete,

so no one who's going to come in, as you mentioned, and dominate probably will be battling for

number 14 staff, special teams. So what's the direction you think in here, Ram?

Well, and I also think that this is a potential landing spot for Brandon IU, whenever that

saga of settles itself. So, you know, if you're not, you don't have to necessarily reach again

for a wide receiver at any one of these points. Now, again, if there was a guy available to you

at 71 that's going to change the complexity of your team, then of course, and even me saying

change the complexity of your team, give you a good solid, you know, wide receiver there that can

threaten because I still think in this offense, especially with Jayden Daniel's ability to push

the ball downfield, you still need a vertical guy, right? And so that's why I chose to go corner

over a guy that would have been available to us at 71 that just didn't have that stretch to feel

vertical speed and size. So, let's go best player available. I mean, you have Jayden Daniels,

you have Marcus Marielda. This might be, you know, not a bad spot for a guy like Kaye,

Clubnik, as your third, your developmental third that can work his way to eventually replace

Marcus Marielda as the backup of the Jayden Daniels that could do some of the similar

things that that offense requires. Yeah, and I think Marcus is only on a one year deal. I like it.

Commander stands a little, just know if they like it in terms of thinking long term. I know

they're probably thinking more closer to near term, but hit that button, turn that card in,

producer striker, and one more pick to go here. So, can you have enough big long corners? Do they

need another corner? Because Demani Jackson will be a value pick here. Colby Young would be that

sort of down the field target. He's going to have to hustle to make the roster at wide receiver.

Any other position that strikes you as filling out the roster and giving an opportunity to

contributing to special teams? I mean, this is where I say you take your guy Nick Barrett.

No, I'm sorry. I'm thinking about the scholar Gil Howard. Yeah, that's what I was thinking about,

but he's got a scholar's gone. So, let's take a look at the at the defensive line real quick,

because maybe we can find some value there striker. So, Demani Jackson is a good player.

Double check.

Devin Eastern. I had a third round grade on 6, 4, 3, 16, 34 inch arms. Placed with heavy hands,

good contact balance, consistently started the point of attack. Smart player. It doesn't consistently

get home as a pass rusher. They don't all the time do that and can play up and down the defensive line,

excuse me. So, although for Devin Eastern out of Minnesota, unless you have something,

I would miss it. This is usually your pick. So, we go with it. Let's go with Devin Eastern out of

Minnesota, give him some love, little value in round late, round six with a third round pick there,

round seven, excuse me. And while we wait for producer striker to tally up the score,

Commander fans, give us a grade before we find out the other grade from PFF, how you think we did,

some players you may have taken that we passed on. PFF gave us an eight. One of the highest

grades we've gotten to recap for those you listening at number seven. Edge rusher, David Bailey at

a Texas Tech, a 71, David Ickman, Oson, IGB, cornerback out of Ohio State, pick 147, running back

Nicholas Singleton out of striker university. That's Penn State to you and me, six round,

Pat Cougan Center out of Indiana. Later in the six round, developmental quarterback Cade

club nick to eventually replace Marcus Mariotta. And then finally, pick 223 and round seven,

Devin Eastern defensive lineman out of Minnesota. That is six picks for the commanders,

let us know Commander fans, what you think about that. And that is it for the perfect draft,

this edition of Watch the Commanders version. Remember, we're hitting all 32 teams,
