In Round 1, Pick 7, the mock selects WR Jordyn Tyson from Arizona State. Tyson is viewed as a three-level threat who could give quarterback Jayden Daniels a deep-threat option and a reliable safety blanket on third downs, potentially offsetting the absence of a veteran No. 1 wideout as Terry McLaurin ages. Durability concerns from his injury history are noted, with the caveat that a strong medical evaluation could sustain his top-ground standing.
Washington then adds interior pass rush potential in Round 3 with Edge Anthony Lucas of USC (Pick 71). Lucas profiles as a long, powerful presence with upside the coaching staff could cultivate, offering versatility to line up as a stand-up or hand-in-the-dirt rusher. While his production has been uneven, the high-end flashes suggest a projection-friendly profile that could bolster the Commanders’ unsettled edge depth.
The mock continues with a Day-Three (Round 5) addition on the offensive line: G Jaeden Roberts from Alabama (Pick 145). Roberts is praised for run-blocking strength and pad level but carries questions about mobility in space and second-level blocking. In the middle rounds, his ceiling and grit could translate into a valuable depth piece who could develop into a starting guard with the right coaching and scheme fit.
Round 6 brings a defensive backstop in CB Jermaine Mathews Jr. (Pick 186). Mathews is highlighted for his cover skills and twitchy movement, with some caveats about measurables. He could contribute as a late-round development option who adds depth to the secondary and could contribute on special teams while developing into a potential starter.
Rounding out the seven rounds, the Commanders add TE Seydou Traore from Mississippi State (Pick 223). Traore, a 6-foot-4, 235-pound London-born prospect, posted modest receiving numbers but offers a size and athletic profile that could appeal as a developmental tight end with upside in a multi-TE system.
Overall, the mock draft presents a balanced haul aimed at supporting both the offense and defense under new coordinators. While Bain remains a coveted target, Tyson’s selection at No. 7 reflects a plan that emphasizes immediate playmaking and depth across several positions, with incremental upside at each step of the draft.
