What is the Commanders' dream scenario ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft?

There is just one week left until the 2026 NFL Draft, and the entire NFL is abuzz with what each team is going to do. Which player will they select? Will they trade up or down?

Mock drafts are released in droves as everyone tries to predict what is ultimately a pretty unpredictable event.
