The @commanders have a franchise changing opportunity with the #7 pick in the #NFL #draft. However, there are several questions about each of the top draft options for the Commanders. Will Adam Peters be willing to look beyond these flaws and make them a commander?

The Commanders have a real chance to greatly improve their franchise with the 7th in the 2026 NFL Draft. However, there are a few teams that pick in front of them that could snatch a transformational player from the Commanders hands. Jeremiah Love, Mansoor Delane, Caleb Downs are all viable options for the Commanders with the 7th pick but they all also represent needs that the Browns and Giants have.

Odafe Oweh, EDGE – Signed a 4-year, $100M deal; the former Ravens/Chargers pass rusher brings 17.5 sacks over the last two seasons and ascending upside as a physically dominant edge defender.
∙ K’Lavon Chaisson, EDGE – 3-year, $24.75M deal; coming off his best season with 7.5 sacks, he adds speed, pass-rush production, and versatility off the edge.
∙ Leo Chenal, LB – 3-year, $24.75M deal; a former Chiefs linebacker who brings elite blitzing ability and sideline-to-sideline range to fit the new defensive coordinator’s system.
∙ Chig Okonkwo, TE – 3-year deal; a proven “move” tight end from the Titans who can win in the slot or outside and is also a capable blocker.
∙ Shakur Cross, S – 2-year deal; a 24-year-old with 4.34 speed who earned a reputation as a physical run defender and blitzing safety with the Colts.
∙ Amik Robertson, CB – 2-year, $16M deal; a veteran corner with 35 career pass breakups who provides depth opposite Trey Amos after the Lattimore cut.
∙ Charles Omenihu, EDGE – 1-year deal worth up to $7M; a depth addition to round out what is now a completely revamped edge rush group.
