Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description
The Washington Commanders, with their seventh overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, face high stakes in rebuilding their defense. General manager Adam Peters has no second or fourth round selections, making this first-rounder crucial. Fans and experts predict theyll target edge rushers or linebackers, but the big prize is safety Caleb Downs from Ohio State. However, the New York Giants, led by head coach John Harbaugh, could snatch Downs at number five, turning him into a tough NFC East rival for the Commanders. Peters, proven in drafting chops, stays flexible, aiming for any blue-chip defender to spark a quick turnaround under Dan Quinn.
