25 best available players for Commanders on Day 3 of 2026 NFL Draft

The Washington Commanders entered the 2026 NFL Draft without picks in the second and fourth rounds, meaning general manager Adam Peters needed to hit on each of his picks, specifically on the first two days. The Commanders selected Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles with the No. 7 overall pick on Thursday, followed by Clemson wide receiver Antonio Williams with the No.

71 pick. Now, it's time to turn to Day 3 of the NFL draft. Washington has four picks on Saturday, beginning in the fifth round.

The Commanders still have needs, specifically at edge rusher, center and cornerback. Can Peters find some players on Day 3 that will help Washington in 2026 and beyond? If last year is any indication, he can.

The Commanders selected running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt in the seventh round of the 2025 NFL Draft, and he'd lead the team in rushing yards and touchdowns scored. Can Peters find more magic in 2026? As always, there are talented players still available entering Day 3.
