New NFL mock draft has some early shakeups preceding Commanders
After a couple of surprises preceding the Commanders, Washington still gets a big name in this new mock draft.
CBS Sports revealed a new mock draft on Saturday, which included some surprises in the top 10. The Washington Commanders , in this latest mock draft by Jordan Dajani, stayed put at No. 7, not trading down as some are beginning to consider a real possibility, given they don't have a pick in the second or fourth rounds.
What was no surprise was the Las Vegas Raiders' selection of Heisman Trophy winner and National Champion Fernando Mendoza of Indiana. Dajani, in his introduction to Saturday's mock draft, admits he wanted to be a little different, but also said he was still obligating himself to remain logical in how he thought about his top 10 in this draft. Okay, seeing Commanders fans reading this, want to know who the Commanders selected in Dajani's mock?
Let's reveal that, then we can go to Dajani's logic for whom he selected in picks 2-6. This will reveal who was off the board and who was still available for the Commanders at No. 7.
With the seventh pick, Dajani 'logically' felt, considering who was still on the board, the Commanders would take Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love. So, how did Love fall to the Commanders in this mock draft? With the second selection, the New York Jets grabbed Ohio State edge, Arvell Reese.
