Washington Commanders' NFL Draft Dilemma

It's April 23rd.

Washington commanders are staring down a thin 2026 NFL draft with just six picks total.

Their spots sit at number 7, number 71, number 147, number 187, number 209, and number

223.

Overall, only those first two cracked atop 100, so they're missing key rounds like the

second and fourth.

That scarcity ramps up the pressure.

No trades in these sims, just straight picks from what's on the board.

Building a roster gets tricky when you crave corners, centers, and wide receivers.

But your next shot after 7 is weighed down at 71.

Fans and analysts feel the squeeze, it's tougher than it seems without early depth.

Teams like the commanders have to nail those high selections or risk gaps everywhere, forcing

creative roster moves down the line.

One mock haul kicked off with a Miami defensive in at 7, Climpson wide out at 71, then Indiana

running back Texas A&M tackle, Washington, offensive lineman, and another Miami safety

to close.

A second run flipped it to an Ohio State linebacker first, Florida defensive tackle next, Kentucky

runner, Georgia Tech receiver, Miami center, same, safety last.

Both pass show solid potential, but picking your poison highlights how the commanders might

turn limited ammo into real firepower next spring.
