'I've genuinely worked my entire life for this': Inside Ethan Page's rise to 'WWE Raw'
Ethan Page finally debuts on WWE Raw after 20 years of hard work!
The Washington Commanders added six new players in the 2026 NFL draft, with a focus on value and immediate contributors. General manager Adam Peters did not make any trades and selected players that fit the team's needs.
Washington came into the draft with very few immediate needs than in previous seasons thanks to an incredibly smart and aggressive free agency by general manager Adam Peters. This allowed them to sit back and let the board come to them and not have to reach on players like we have seen in the past. The chart below shows how our picks ranked in value versus the consensus big board. The Commanders hold the top spot here.

â Warren Sharp (@SharpFootball) April 25, 2026 With just two picks in the top 100, it was important for Peters to get immediate contributors from those two picks while filling in the roster with high-upside players later on who can either be in a competition to earn significant playing time or become complimentary pieces on this roster.
I had Sonny Styles in a tie as my second ârealisticâ player on my big board (tied with Caleb Downs). However, when the Chiefs (who traded up with the Browns to pick 6) made their selection, I tweeted out thisâŠ
Styles SHOULD be the pick. Wonât hate Downs either
â Mark Tyler (Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) April 24, 2026 Heading into the evening, I didnât think Syles would make it past the Giants at pick 5. When he did, and seeing the trade-up was not for him, I was pretty pumped up! Here is what I had to say about Styles in my 2026 article: **Sonny Styles, LB, Ohio State** Besides not participating in the Senior Bowl (and Iâm sure it was not for a lack of an invite), Sonny Styles checks off every other box on this list. He is an athletic freak who got better each year at Ohio State after switching from safety to inside linebacker heading into his junior year. He was a team captain who called the defense in 2025 for Matt Patricia, garnering All-American honors along the way. He has met multiple times with the Commanders including a top 30 visit. Sonny Styles is a LB prospect in the 2026 draft class. He scored an unofficial 10.00 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 1 out of 3215 LB from 1987 to 2026.
The Commanders drafted six players, including linebacker Sonny Styles in the first round and wide receiver Antonio Williams in the third round.
The Commanders focused on balancing value versus need, leveraging a strong free agency to avoid reaching for players and instead selecting based on the draft board.
The Commanders received an overall draft grade of A+, particularly for their selection of Sonny Styles, who is seen as an immediate contributor.
The Commanders were ranked first in value among the 2026 NFL draft classes, ahead of teams like the Panthers and Colts.

â RAS.football (@MathBomb) February 27, 2026 **Analysis:** With Styles, Washington is getting an immediate contributor in the front seven who can impact every level of the field and wear the green dot. With his rare blend of size, speed and instincts, he may be the best overall off-the-ball linebacker prospect the NFL has seen in over a decade! What could the Commanders do with Sonny Styles? -Green Dot MIKE -Situational SAM in an under front -Run-and-hit WILL -TE eraser -QB Spy -High-Hole trigger man -Green-Dog blitzer -Cover RBs out of backfield -Crosser equalizer -Outside run neutralizer -Screen game disruptor pic.twitter.com/O3XdYxyzJE
â Mark Tyler (Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) April 10, 2026 Imagine playing âPositionlessâ situational football with Sonny Styles? -1st down: Styles and Magee as ILBs, Chenal walked down to the LOS as a SAM (the under front) -2nd and 7-8: Chenal and Magee as ILBs, Styles over TE as a off-ball SAM -3rd and long: Magee and Chenal as ILBs⊠pic.twitter.com/WYmEvCH50N
â Mark Tyler (Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) March 29, 2026 Went back to watch more film on Sonny Styles. Two things that keep standing out to me for a man who is 6â5â 245 â Has very good hips and change-of-direction skills â no issues in coverage â Does a really nice job lowering his pad level when taking on blocks at point of attack
â Mark Tyler (Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) February 27, 2026 **Grade: A+**
Antonio Williams was a fourth-round prospect on my big board and his rating was a bit low on my end because I valued bigger outside receivers versus guys who could operate out of the slot. This is what I had to say when he was picked.
Antonio Williams WR Clemson
Iâm a bit confused with this pick given who was on the boardâŠ
â Mark Tyler (Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) April 25, 2026 The comments I made above were not directed at Williamsâ talent, but more who was available at the time of the pick who I felt would fit well in this offense.
Letâs just all agree to call Antonio Williams 6â0â 190
Then we can all be friends again
â Mark Tyler (Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) April 25, 2026 **Grade: B**
I had Josephs as a fringe-third/fourth round prospect on my big board, so I saw incredible value to get him at pick 147.

â jeremiahđŠâ⏠(@NewEraMiah) February 23, 2026 **Analysis:** I love Josephs first step and length. Itâs right up there with the best prospects in this EDGE class. He may not have stuffed the stat sheet in his four years at Tennessee, but much of that was how he was asked to play in their scheme versus his talent alone. He also is a turnover machine forcing six fumbles and recovering four over the past two seasons. Heâs the type of guy I expect to be a much better professional than he was as a collegiate player once he gets the coaching heâs been lacking these last few seasons. Heâs a tremendous upside prospect who should be a nice rotational piece as a rookie, with future starting ability. Some talk about EDGE not being a top need, but Armstrong is entering the last year of his deal and Chaisson is playing on a one-year deal. Oweh is the only EDGE with proven production who is signed for multiple years. **Grade: A**
Allen is a prospect I am intimately familiar with as I had the pleasure of watching him play for the past four years at Penn State.
Washington selects Kaytron Allen, who was actually the BETTER pure running back of the two-headed monster at PSU.
Not a blazer, but excellent vision, contact-balance and toughness.
Really nice pick!
Welcome Fat Man!
â Mark Tyler (Hogs Haven) (@Tiller56) April 25, 2026 **Analysis:** Fatman left Penn State as the schoolâs all-time leading rusher and despite teammate Nick Singleton garnering most of the headlines during their first three years, it was Allen who was always the better overall player. Heâs an absolute bowling ball with exceptional vision and contact balance between the tackles and he has enough speed to turn the corner and explode into the secondary â where heâs constantly looking to punish anyone coming up to tackle him. Heâs not going to be a big receiving threat out of the backfield, but he does do well on screens where his vision and power make him tough to bring down. He should have an immediate effect in short-yardage and goal line situations. **Grade: B+**
Center was a big need for Washington, and I thought the mid-to-later rounds of the draft had some really good prospects who could fit this new offense. I was very pleased to see Peters use one of our picks on the position.
New Commanders Center Matt Gulbin was PFF #2 overall graded Center⊠2nd in run block & 5th in pass block. What a nice get for Adam Peters in the 6th round. pic.twitter.com/PWHZSloTga
â Zac (@DCzWall) April 25, 2026 **Analysis:** Gulbin played in over 40 games at Wake Forest, seeing time at both guard and center. He transferred to Michigan State in 2025 and started 11 games at center while serving as a team captain. He does a nice job anchoring in pass protection and climbing to the second level and sealing off defenders in the run game. Heâll need to work on hand-placement in the NFL. He offers interior versatility and could push veteran Nick Allegretti during camp for the starting center role. **Grade: B**
In many of my mock leading up to the draft, I had Washington selecting a quarterback with a later pick. Although I didnât have Kaliakmanis on my radar, the need was there.
Athan Kaliakmanis is the Greek Freak of College Football đ
His rhythm, accuracy, and fairly quick release have impressed me tonight: pic.twitter.com/FWnkmsnpAR
â NFL Draft Files (@NFL\_DF) September 20, 2025 **Analysis:** I didnât spend a lot of time scouting Kaliakmanis, so I had to go back and watch some games over the weekend. What stood out to me is his arm strength and accuracy improvement in 2025. He seemed to go through his progressions well and delivered the ball on time. What I didnât see is a ton of was off-platform ability â which I believe is very important in the NFL. He has a chance to make the roster if Washington keep three quarterbacks, but the practice squad as a developmental prospect is the most likely scenario. **Grade: C-**
Overall, despite only having two top 100 picks, I feel Adam Peters did real nice job getting a blue-chip prospect in Sonny Styles and getting great value with some picks in the mid-to-later rounds. This was a very unique draft in that it lacked blue-chip talent at premium positions, but for us to have a top player fall to us at pick 7 (one I doubted would be there) was a true blessing. There was a lot of attention put on defense this offseason, so I was not surprised to see four of our six picks go towards the offense â including wide receiver, which was one of the top needs on the team. **Overall Grade: B+**
