Washington Commanders Mock Draft: Colin Simmons at Pick 11

On May 1st, even though the 2026 NFL draft just wrapped up, folks are buzzing about next

year's class, and ESPN dropped away too early.

Mock were the Washington commanders grab Texas-Edger Escher Collins Simmons at pick 11.

They're slotted there based on current Super Bowl odds, pairing Simmons with their recent

linebacker pick Sunny Styles to beef up the D-line.

This 2027 group looks stacked, especially at quarterback, with experts calling it potentially

generational.

Fans littered up last season with 12-sacks, leading the SEC, mostly from a two-point stance.

He's explosive off the line, quick twitch hands that rett blockers, and brings non-stop

energy.

Meanwhile, the commanders need edge help long-term guys like Odefe Owe and Joshua Josephs

are locked in, but others like Doran's Armstrong and Kaleban Shesan are on short deals

or hitting free agency.

A lot can shift with another college season ahead, stocks rising are falling on big games

and workouts, but Simmons's upside has everyone watching close.

As Washington builds that defense.
