Jeremiah's Draft Pick Sends NFL QBs' Stock Soaring - Fresh Promises on the Horizon
Daniel Jeremiah's new mock draft presents an interesting scenario for the Commanders.
The Washington Commanders have been busy since free agency opened one week ago. GM Adam Peters has spent heavily to improve arguably the NFL's worst defense in 2025. Seven of Washington's outside free agents were on the defensive side of the ball, which could mean the Commanders will target an offensive player with the No.
7 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Maybe. Maybe not.
In his latest mock draft for NFL. com, leading NFL draft analyst Daniel Jeremiah has the Commanders going defense with the seventh pick. Jeremiah has Washington selecting Miami EDGE Rueben Bain Jr.
Washington was aggressive to fill needs at edge rusher in free agency. Bain has the versatility to play from the edge on early downs and then slide inside in sub packages, making him a nice complement to Odafe Oweh and K'Lavon Chaisson. At first glance, you'd think signing three edge rushers would take that position off the board for Washington.
