The Washington Commanders are in a good position heading into the 2026 NFL Draft. They have the 7th overall pick and are expected to select a high-quality player at a position of need. ESPN analyst Matt Miller predicts they will select LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane in the first round. Delane is an excellent prospect who allowed only 10 completions for 119 yards last season. The Commanders also need help at wide receiver and may select Notre Dame's Malachi Fields in the 3rd round. They may also draft a quarterback, such as Arkansas's Taylor Green, in the 5th round to serve as a backup to Jayden Daniels.
