The Washington Commanders have focused on addressing the roster needs that contributed to their struggles last season. So far, their draft approach has been balanced, going defense in the first round, offense in the third, and back to defense in the fifth.
The Commanders came into the 2026 NFL Draft missing two rounds worth of valuable picks after trading away the second- and fourth-rounder last year for Laremy Tunsil.
It’s always hard to drum up legitimate excitement on Day 3 of the draft and the Commanders didn’t even have a fourth-round pick to help do that. Still, Adam Peters ignored two important needs and failed to move the needle with any of his picks.

NFL prospects from major programs get most of the attention, but there are numerous examples of players drafted from small schools who have become difference-makers.
The Washington Commanders introduced a new alternate logo on Wednesday, one that has a spear piercing through the “W” logo. While a majority of the fanbase seems to like it, Native American groups across the country called out the organization for using a spear in the alternate logo.

The clear-cut top safety in this draft class, Caleb Downs looks likely to become the first safety drafted in the top 10 since Jamal Adams in 2017. Adams is the only safety to go off the board in the top 10 over the past 15 drafts, but Downs could even beat the former All-Pro’s No.
The Washington Commanders announced new primary uniforms for the 2026 season, going back to the primary color scheme from before they changed their name. The team will be going back to similar jerseys they wore during their Super Bowl era.
The Commanders currently own six picks in the upcoming draft. Only two of those are within the first 146 selections, however, and Washington is a team in need of rookie additions at several spots.
