With the 2026 NFL Draft approaching, the Washington Commanders are under pressure to rebound from a disappointing 2025 season. Currently, the team holds only two picks in the top 100 due to prior trades, making it crucial for them to maximize their selections. NFL draft experts, including John Keim from ESPN, suggest that the best-case scenario for the Commanders might involve trading back from their No. 7 pick to gain additional selections. However, Keim notes that this is unlikely, as there is only one quarterback expected to be drafted in the top 10, which typically drives teams to trade up. Meanwhile, Jordan Reid has identified wide receiver and cornerback as the primary positions the Commanders are likely to target. The team is expected to focus on making precise selections, aiming to secure at least two immediate starters from this draft class to enhance their roster.
