commanders add pair of offensive weapons in this new 2026 mock draft

Washington Commanders general manager Adam Peters has one job: Put the right players in the right places so that Dan Quinn can form them into a cohesive and successful unit. To clean up the mess that was left for him, Peters had his work cut out for him. Heading into his second year, Peters has been integral in changing the culture of the Commanders' organization. As we sit back and wait to see what happens with his second-year adjustments, Pro Football Network has been kind enough to grace us with an early three-round 2026 mock draft. The Commanders don't have second or fourth-round picks in 2026 after giving them away in the Laremy Tunsil trade, but the rest still belong to them. With the 27th overall pick, PFN projects the Commanders to draft a running back in the first round.

Nicholas Singleton, RB, Penn StateThe Washington Commanders’ running game took a massive leap from 2023 to 2024 with the addition of Jayden Daniels, but adding a true every-down back to their offense would make... Singleton possesses elite vision and breakaway speed, complemented by solid receiving ability. He’d perfectly fit Kliff Kingsbury’s offense for the Commanders. The Commanders currently have six running backs who will be free agents in 2026, including Brian Robinson Jr., Austin Ekeler, and Jeremy McNichols. Bringing in a young running back while extending the contracts of one or two veterans is a solid game plan for the future of the ground game. There is a long way to go and a lot of football to come before the 2026 NFL Draft.

But make no mistake, general manager Adam Peters' accomplished front-office staff will already be analyzing college football's latest stars before the all-important assessment process. The Washington Commanders don't have much in the way of picks once again. They are slated to have just five selections after some frantic trade activity during the offseason. That reduces the margin for error, but Peters has already proven capable of doing more with less. Needs will change depending on how things unfold in the coming months. But for now, we took a look at some early perceptions in a seven-round 2026 mock draft using the Pro Football Network simulator.

Bobby Wagner is a phenomenal player, but he isn't getting any younger. The Commanders need to find a long-term replacement for the future Pro Football Hall of Famer. Adding Anthony Hill Jr. would solve more problems than one. Hill is a dynamic second-level presence. The Texas standout is explosive to the contact point, is a legitimate sideline-to-sideline presence, and can make things happen in pass-rushing situations.

Placing him next to Frankie Luvu would instantly be a ferocious tandem if this is Wagner's final season. The Washington Commanders and their fans are gearing up for their most anticipated season to date after taking the NFL world by storm a season ago by making it to the NFC Championship game... Washington retooled their roster this offseason, nabbing key players on both sides of the ball through trades, free agency, and the NFL Draft in an attempt to strengthen their team to compete with their... The Commanders' draft might not have been all that jaw-dropping, but they added solid pieces depth-wise, with some having starting potential now or down the road in Josh Conerly Jr., Trey Amos, and Jaylin... Fans will be paying close attention to their rookies once training camp rolls around in mid-July, but it is never too early to look at how the Commanders will finish this season, and when... According to ESPN draft expert Matt Miller, the Commanders will, unfortunately, fall short of their dreams of winning the Super Bowl.

Miller has Washington exiting the playoffs in the divisional round and entering the 2026 NFL Draft with the 25th overall pick, in which he believes they will bolster their secondary, taking promising young cornerback... Harris out of Penn State. The College Football regular season is nearing its end. For us, that means that mock draft season is heating up. This particular 2026 NFL Mock Draft features 2 rounds, but no trades. I also used NFL Mock Draft Database for this mock draft, which I highlighted in this particular article as my favorite draft simulator.

Without further ado, let’s get to mocking. The Titans have their work cut out for them if they want to improve this offseason. They should have about $19.5 million in cap space, but lack significant draft capital. Rueben Bain or Arvell Reese would be good options for Tennessee on the defensive front seven. Demario Davis and Cameron Jordan are both set to hit free agency this offseason. The Saints have young pieces across their depth chart, except for their defensive front seven.

They found their quarterback in Tyler Shough last season, so let’s have them find their franchise piece on defense in round one. There will be a new head coach in New York, but the task remains the same – build around QB Jaxson Dart. The Giants have one of the worst offensive lines in the NFL. Andrew Thomas has proven his worth at left tackle. If they choose, Fano would be a suitable replacement for Jermaine Eluemunor at right tackle. Copyright 2008-2026 Drafttek.com.

While Jayden Daniels and the offense had a tough time against Micah Parsons and company, they did have success at the tight end position.

Daniels was able to find success throwing the ball to Zach Ertz who showcased his yards after the catch skill in scoring a touchdown for the Commanders. How impactful could the offense be with a younger tight end who is showing first round talent at Oregon. Yes, we are talking about Kenyon Sadiq who is one of the top tight end prospects to watch ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. So far in the 2025 season, Sadiq has 5 receptions for 95 yards and 2 touchdowns for the Ducks. His athleticism and ability after the catch is what stands out about Sadiq which could make him a perfect replacement to Ertz if the Commanders are locked in on the position entering the draft. Dante dimes.

#GoDucks @dantemoore05 🤝 @KenyonSadiq pic.twitter.com/w56yZYF6HQ A rejuvenated Ertz is showing how effective the Commanders’ offense can be with an athletic tight end target. In the team’s Week 2 loss to the Packers, the veteran tight end caught 6 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown. Imagine a younger version of Ertz and you have Sadiq who could be a prime target for Daniels. Throughout the year and leading up to the 2026 NFL Draft, we will update our Washington Commanders Mock Draft Roundup showing picks for the Washington Commanders from several prominent sites and draft analysts. The following are picks from recent NFL mock drafts for the Washington Commanders:

As we roll through November, the draft landscape continues to shift every week, with breakout players starting to emerge, and several franchises staring down full-scale rebuild discussions. For this edition, we’ll be using the current draft order from Tankathon as of November 10th, reflecting where things stand after Week 11 in college football and Week 10 in the NFL. NFL Week 10 action featured plenty of surprising results that shook up the projected order of the 2026 NFL Draft. The New Orleans Saints entered the weekend in place for the No. 1 pick but thoroughly beat NFC South foe Carolina to drop from the top spot. The New York Jets got win No.

2 of the Aaron Glenn era over the Cleveland Browns, dropping down the order as well. Their neighbors, the New York Giants, squandered a lead and lost to the Chicago Bears to overtake them in the top three of the draft order. The Giants fired Brian Daboll following the loss - making it more likely they'll stay near the top of the draft order. Those results leave Tennessee at the No. 1 pick after 10 weeks of NFL games. Tennessee already has a quarterback of the future and could be the first team to draft No.

1 overall in consecutive years since fellow AFC South franchise Jacksonville did so in 2021 and 2022. They'll likely take their top non-quarterback prospect in the class. Who that player is is up for debate but most likely a defensive player. There's a misconception floating around about the 2026 NFL Draft. Before this college season kicked off, Texas' Arch Manning, South Carolina's LaNorris Sellers and LSU's Garrett Nussmeier were widely viewed as the top eligible quarterback prospects. Those three haven't quite met the early expectations, which has some people jumping to the conclusion that this is a "weak" QB class.

In reality, the rise of Indiana's Fernando Mendoza (my QB1 back in May), Alabama's Ty Simpson and Oregon's Dante Moore has reshaped the board. All three still have remaining eligibility and could theoretically return to school in 2026, but in today's thought exercise, they come off the board quickly -- just not at No. 1 overall. Four teams enter the first round with multiple picks, while just as many have none. The Browns and Rams dealt away theirs in separate draft-day moves a year ago, and the Jets and Cowboys moved on from Quinnen Williams and Micah Parsons, respectively. To set the stage, here are the current odds to be the No.

1 overall pick (via FanDuel Sportsbook). Reminder: This is the current NFL draft order after Week 10 (via Tankathon).
