Sonny time.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

I am fine with Sonny or Downs as long as Dallas doesn't get the guy we didn't take. I should add NYG to that comment.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

STYLES!! LFG!!

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Sweet baby Jesus!

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Ron Rivera and Peters/Hatboy are the same people.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

great pick!!

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

I hope that NO takes Downs and CLE takes Bain, leaving neither of them there for NYG. I do not want NYG to get Reese and either of those guys.

TOO SOON! He hasn't even put the hat on yet. Can we hold off criticizing the pick?

Ugh -- I bet NYG will take Downs. Reese and Downs would be a terrific draft haul no matter what else they do. Dang.

Edit: I am relieved that they went OL. (And actually, that's a good move for them too.)

Nothing that jumps out at you. He is that guy. Im so excited about this pick. He just instantly makes our D seriously legit.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Would Dallas take Downs?

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

I'm still traumatized by Rivera picking Davis. It's ruining my enjoyment of this pick. I know it's a different front office and player, but it's still a mental block. Also, a pure off ball linebacker at 7 seems risky altogether.

Styles, Chenal, Luvu, and Magee -- that is a lot of speed at that level.

We all are. Big difference -- no one other that RR thought Davis should be that high. Lots of folks had Styles going before 7 in mock drafts and his combine numbers were just silly. It should be a great pick for us.

I wonder if DAL is going after Downs or if they wanted to get Bain, knowing that Miami needs D L help. Or maybe Jerry will do something altogether different -- the dude is pretty unpredictable.

That is a very good point.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Shit. Downs to Dallas.

And 4 out of the top 11 players from OH State. That has to be some sort of record.

No no no no way. I hear you. But no way.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

If Downs is better than Styles I'll just give up on ever being excited about football.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Daniel Jeremiah (NFL.com) had Styles ranked as the top defensive player. Here is his assessment:
"Rank
3
Sonny Styles
Ohio State · LB · Senior
Styles is a tall, long and rangy linebacker prospect. He made a smooth transition from safety to linebacker during his college career and put on an epic display at the NFL Scouting Combine. In the run game, he’s quick to key, read and fill to make tackles. He uses his length to press off blocks and has outstanding lateral range to pick up production on the perimeter. He’s a firm, reliable tackler with stopping power on contact. Styles is outstanding in coverage. He can carry slot receivers down the seam and smoothly mirrors tight ends all over the field. He’s an explosive blitzer and will run over running backs who try to block him in pass pro. Styles’ performance in the Big Ten title game against Indiana answered any questions about his game, as he was the best defender on the field in that matchup. He reminds me of Fred Warner as a player. It's hard to find prospects with Styles' combination of speed, athleticism and instincts."

Bain is sliding and it is a sin.

And to someone’s point, no one ranked Jamin Davis this high.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

[quote=punch it in;1380486]Bain is sliding and it is a sin.[/quote]

I think he is either going to completely dominate or just be a JAG. No in between. If he's a dominator whoever picks him has an A draft.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

He has a motor and a half.

Bain feels like the kind of guy that somehow slips to the Ravens and is a stud. They always seem to manage that.

I hate when NFCE teams do well in the draft -- NYG fans must be happy, and Dallas fans should be as well. And that never makes me happy.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Side note on Styles, dad played in the nfl. Dude is going to be a professional on day one.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Wow. No draft is ever even close to what you think.
