The No. 7 pick in the draft is one of the few positives that came out of last season for Washington

Washington has six picks and allowed 384 yards per game last season, making the No. 7 selection a key chance to add an immediate starter.

  • With the seventh pick, the Washington Commanders have an opportunity to secure an impact player and jump-start a rebound after a difficult 2025 campaign.
  • Coach Dan Quinn returns following the team's 5-12 finish in 2025, with a reshuffled staff featuring new offensive coordinator David Blough and defensive coordinator Daronte Jones, replacing Kliff Kingsbury and Joe Whitt.
  • Adjusting the draft board for new schemes, Peters said "chances are a little bit greater" to find talent, as the team looks to improve the roster beyond Jayden Daniels and Jacory Bill Croskey-Merritt.
  • Only six total selections remain for Washington after trading their second- and fourth-round picks to Houston for Laremy Tunsil, making a potential trade down to acquire more draft capital a distinct possibility.
  • After allowing 384 yards per game, the team must prioritize improving the defense and bolstering pass protection to support Daniels following the standout 2024 season.
