Episode Details

The Washington Commanders kick off the 2026 NFL Draft by selecting Notre Dames Jeremiyah Love, a dynamic running back with top-tier skills but potential to slip due to his position. They then bolster their defense with Ohio States Davison Igbinosun, a cornerback known for his impressive coverage skills. In a strategic move, they trade future picks to Detroit for additional picks in the later rounds.

In the fourth round, they add Michigans Derrick Moore, a formidable pass-rusher with ten sacks in 2025. Round five brings Jeff Caldwell, a six-foot-five wideout with impressive speed, who needs refinement but complements Terry McLaurin well.

The Commanders continue to strengthen their receiving corps in the sixth round, drafting Lewis Bond, a slot receiver for immediate depth, and Jaylon Guilbeau, a Texas cornerback for additional backfield support. Finally, in the seventh round, they select Penn States Zane Durant, a tackle with interior pressure capabilities despite his smaller frame.

This draft class significantly enhances Washingtons offense with speed and playmakers while fortifying their defense for the long term, setting Jayden Daniels up for success come draft night.
