Daniel Jeremiah's 'hunch' on Giants could impact Commanders
Daniel Jeremiah doesn't think the Giants will pick Sonny Styles. That could be great news for the Commanders.
There are a few players in the first round of next week's 2026 NFL Draft that would make perfect sense for the Washington Commanders . The Commanders , who own the No. 7 overall pick, are a bit of a wild card heading into the first round.
Washington has multiple needs, but plugged several holes in free agency, allowing them to focus on the best player available in the draft. While the Commanders do not control their own destiny in the first round, their needs match up well with what could go down in the first six picks. Washington could still use help at edge rusher, wide receiver, cornerback, middle linebacker, running back, or safety.
The running back and safety positions are lesser needs but feature elite prospects: running back Jeremiyah Love (Notre Dame) and safety Caleb Downs (Ohio State). Washington reportedly "loves" Love . However, he could go as high as No.
3. Styles is another player often linked to the Commanders, but he could go as high as No. 4 to the Tennessee Titans or No.
