The Washington Commanders balance hopes for another deep postseason run with active draft planning as college football season begins and prospects' stocks shift. The front office currently holds six picks after trading for Laremy Tunsil and sending Brian Robinson Jr. to the 49ers, forfeiting second- and fourth-round selections while gaining an extra sixth-rounder. Early simulations project the Commanders selecting Texas linebacker Anthony Hill Jr. at No. 27 to shore up a defensive second level led by veterans Bobby Wagner and Frankie Luvu, addressing depth concerns behind aging contributors Kain Medrano and Jordan Magee.
Excitement is building ahead of the NFL season. The Washington Commanders look primed for another deep postseason run if everyone gets a clear run of luck on the health front. But for those in the front office and scouting department, attention is elsewhere. The college football campaign is officially underway. That means draft plans are already being formed behind the scenes as prospects increase or diminish their stock based on performances in a high-profile setting.
The Commanders have six picks as things stand. They don't have second or fourth-round selections right now after acquiring five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil from the Houston Texans. However, they got an extra sixth-rounder by shipping running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the San Francisco 49ers. A lot can and will change in the coming months. But using the Pro Football Network simulator, we took an early look at what the Commanders might need in this seven-round mock draft.
