If Commanders don't go WR at No. 7, here's a name to watch at 71
Washington found Terry McLaurin in the third round. Could the Commanders land another 3rd-round WR star?
Who is Ted Hurst? And how is Ted Hurst related to the Washington Commanders ? Well, Hurst is a name I first heard perhaps six weeks ago.
I was listening to Jeremy Greene on the Sportsocracy podcast. Greene is a friend of former Washington Redskins tight end Logan Paulsen. Paulsen invited Greene to appear on his Take Command podcast last year, prior to the 2025 NFL Draft, to talk about the Commanders ' draft choices.
This is when I first heard Greene talking about the NFL draft. Back to this offseason, Greene was telling a story from six weeks ago about how he and Paulsen were standing together during Senior Bowl week. Greene said at some point he turned to Paulsen, and, knowing the Commanders need to draft a receiver this year, he told Paulsen that the Commanders are going to draft Ted Hurst at No.
71. Yes, you have by now heard of the receivers anticipated to be selected in the first round. Carnell Tate (Ohio State), Makai Lemon (USC), Jordyn Tyson (Arizona State), Denzel Boston (Washington).
