Washington landed a Hall of Famer last time it picked No. 7 overall
Washington picked a Pro Football of Famer the last time it held the No. 7 overall pick.
The Washington Commanders hold the No. 7 overall pick in this year's 2026 NFL Draft. This will not be the first time that Washington has picked No.
7 in franchise history. Washington has picked in the No. 7 position three times.
Let's look at the results. 1952: Baylor QB/DB Larry Isbell 1963: Wisconsin TE/WR Pat Richter 1999: Georgia CB Champ Bailey Obviously, one name stands out here: Bailey. An All-American at Georgia, Bailey was the No.
7 overall pick in the 1999 NFL Draft — the same draft where the New Orleans Saints traded all of their picks to the Redskins (plus a first and third-round pick in 1999). Washington then moved back up to No. 7, in a trade with the Chicago Bears, to select Bailey.
