Commanders to host Georgia star on pre-draft visit

•Yahoo Sports

The Commanders will host another top cornerback prospect ahead of next month's 2026 NFL Draft.

The Washington Commanders filled several holes over the first two weeks of free agency. Washington spent significant resources to improve arguably the NFL's worst defense. Seven of 12 outside free agents that the Commanders signed were on the defensive side of the ball.

One position Washington still must address is cornerback. The Commanders cut Marshon Lattimore and saw Jonathan Jones and Noah Igbinoghene depart as free agents. Washington didn't make a strong effort to keep either of those players.

The Commanders did sign Amik Robertson to a two-year deal and he will start alongside Trey Amos and Mike Sainristil at cornerback. Washington needs more. You can probably assume that another veteran will be added to the mix at some point.

And it wouldn't be a surprise if GM Adam Peters used one of his six 2026 NFL Draft picks on a cornerback. However, the Commanders are without picks in the second and fourth rounds. Washington has shown interest in multiple cornerbacks, and will host LSU All-American Mansoor Delane on a top-30 visit.
