Episode Details

The Washington Commanders are considering a surprise move in the 2026 NFL Draft by selecting running back Emmett Johnson, who could potentially become their top back and boost their offense. Despite their initial focus on Jeremiyah Love, the Commanders are exploring the possibility of trading back from the seventh overall pick to secure more day-two picks or even draft Johnson at pick seventy-one. Their running back room has seen changes this offseason, with Rachaad White, Bill Croskey-Merritt, and Jeremy McNichols vying for reps. Johnson, a shiftier runner with impressive vision and quick burst, could be a valuable addition to the team.
