We Suck - 2026 NFL Mock Draft Thread

[skinsnut]

Skinsnut board for Commanders:
(top 5 are potential stars /playmakers IMO)
1. Bailey edge, not likely
2. Reese edge, not likely
3. Downs safety, possible
4. Love RB, unlikely
5. Styles LB, possible
6. Bain DL, likely
7. Delane CB, likely
8. Tate WR, meh

So, according to this theory, it's Downs vs Styles and they pick Downs due to film over measurables. But it really comes down to if either Love or Styles are picked. I see Downs as being likely. CB is backup plan, they guy is good and ideal positional value. I don't see a #1 wr worth our pick which should be used on a future household name otherwise we settle for a 7 year guy like bain or a cb.

I personally think the top 5 here are can't miss, so I'd target them in this order (although reese is a bit of a projection) it is also possible Bain could be great too, but the short arm thing will hurt him in the NFL and he could get slowed every play.
Thoughts?

I'd drop Love from 3 to 6 (bumping Styles up to 3) mostly because of positional value and because I still think we need more help on D than O, and then flip Downs (now 4) and Delane (now 5). But I agree with the rest of this.

I was wrong, mainly because we got lucky someone drafted Delane over Styles.
We got lucky here with Styles dropping to us as he is ideal for us, although Delane could heen our top pick if Styles was gone.
This was MY draft for Washington, Adam Peters said he thought the floor for Tate was 9, meaning, they were Not going to take him, so that seems to fit.
I would not be surprised if this list matches the Skins board.
We may never know, but I sure am happy our top pick if what was realistic occured and we got Styles.

The key here is our front 7 is now complete, this means the middle of the field and run defense, that forces 3rd downs, remember those?
