New mock draft after Giants trade has Commanders landing OSU star
Here's one of the first mock drafts after the Giants' big trade. The Commanders land a defensive star.
The New York Post published its latest 2026 mock draft on Saturday, and there were some real surprises early. The Washington Commanders have been linked in most mock drafts to Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love, and in many to Ohio State safety Caleb Downs, and in some recent notable ones to Ohio State receiver Carnell Tate. However, Steve Serby says no to each of those options for the Commanders at No.
7. That's right, Serby has Love, Downs, and Tate all three being selected before the Commanders go on the clock at No. 7.
So, here is the top 10 according to Serby. 1. Las Vegas Raiders: Fernando Mendoza, QB, Indiana 2.
New York Jets: David Bailey, Edge Texas Tech 3. Arizona Cardinals: Arvell Reese, Edge, Ohio State 4. Tennessee Titans: Jeremiyah Love, RB, Notre Dame 5.
