Colin Cowherd's mock draft doesn't make sense for Commanders
Colin Cowherd's mock draft is much different than most for the Commanders.
Depending on who you ask, Miami offensive tackle Francis Mauigoa may be the best offensive lineman in the 2026 NFL Draft class. Mauigoa is often off the board somewhere in the top 10 of most mock drafts, sometimes inside the top five. The knock on Mauigoa is that he doesn't play left tackle.
A three-year starter at right tackle for the Hurricanes, some believe that his best NFL position could be inside at guard. That could concern some teams because guard is not considered a premium position. Of course, this entire draft class features some outstanding players who do not play premium positions, such as Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles and Ohio State safety Caleb Downs.
The goal should always be to find long-term starters who can make an immediate impact and become All-Pros. Mauigoa certainly has that kind of talent. The Washington Commanders hold the No.
7 overall pick in this year's draft. With a solid offensive line already in place, Washington wouldn't appear to be a fit for Mauigoa. Not everyone agrees with that assessment, though.
