The Washington Commanders hold the No. 7 overall pick in the NFL Draft, and who the franchise will select with that pick is up for debate.
Some think Jeremiyah Love if the Notre Dame running back somehow falls. Others think Caleb Downs or Sonny Styles, both of whom would improve Dan Quinn's defense.
But over the past week, it has been receiver that has heated up in most mock drafts, with the Commanders needing a running mate for Terry McLaurin.
And for ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, teams are wondering if Washington will go offense at No. 7.
"Teams I've talked to believe Styles would be a dream Dan Quinn pick, but they also wonder whether the Commanders are leaning offense," Fowler wrote. "Wide receiver Carnell Tate (Ohio State) is a popular name here, and Washington has spent a lot of time with him."
