Back to EpisodesCommanders' Draft Pick: Top Corner for Defense
Description
Washington Commanders fans eagerly await the 2026 NFL Draft, with many anticipating a top defensive pick. While mock drafts suggest Ohio States Caleb Downs or edge rushers like Miamis Rueben Bain Junior and Texas Techs David Bailey, Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt proposes a surprising choice: LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane. Known for his route anticipation and ability to mirror receivers, Delane could significantly improve Washingtons league-worst pass defense. Despite being aggressive at times, his production in big games and versatility in both zone and man coverage make him an attractive option. Adding Delane to the secondary could solidify the defense and complement the offense led by Jayden Daniels, potentially building a contender.
