I'm sure even to this point, Commanders still do not have a good idea of who they will draft but the players we have signed so far makes it seem like we are unlikely to draft a pass rusher with our #7 pick. Downs would be a perfect pick here.

Have to think it will be Downs or Love. Downs would be terrific. We do need help on offense too (C, WR, and TE) and we still haven’t resigned Paul, but the D needed more help and already looks massively different.

Love if he is there ..Takes the pressure off JD to be a runner and gives us a real top level Run game .. If JD gets hurt again then MM with Love is still a good O .. but I think Love will be long gone at #7 .. he is best player in draft !

Re: 2026 Commanders Free Agency
 

The key is, it frees us up to take BPA, rather than feel pressured to take Edge. Could still do it (imagine Bain for instance in a 3 man rotation!). But it means that we're more free to take the best available. Love wouldn't be a bad pick now, but neither would Reese (not likely to be available but we can hope), Downs, Styles or Tate. I'd still rather we go D, and Reese or Downs would be a potential massive upgrade. But unless we screw the pooch (and trading back now makes less sense), whoever we pick will likely be a big contributor.

See how the rest of the week pans out, but I like what AP has done so far. No big name over 30's and upgraded DL and LB. RB, WR and S still concerns though, but it's only Wednesday.

I think Tate (WR) has become an option. Not advocating for that, but given the attempts in FA to get a WR, and failing, I think that leads to that possibility.

Re: 2026 Commanders Free Agency
 

Yeah, no doubt, signing some defense players will allow us to go with BPA in the draft even if it's on the offense side.

I’d consider Aiyuk on a one year deal

Would as well.

Not a big fan of his, but I would be fine with a 1 year deal.

Re: 2026 Commanders Free Agency
 

Looks like we just signed Okownwo -- new TE. I thought that might happen after we missed out on Likely. Ertz is definitely gone.

That's good. I would say the best of the remaining TE's on the market

Re: 2026 Commanders Free Agency
 

With Nick Cross signed as well its starting to look more like it could be Love or Tate (see what I did there) at #7

Second this. Incentive heavy, no more than 6M.

Re: 2026 Commanders Free Agency
 

We also signed Nick Cross from Colts, I have no idea who he is... Apparently he is a good box safety but is lacking in passing coverage.
