**Ryan Coleman-Williams, WR, Alabama**
This may be a reach right now, but his raw talent is up there with all previous top 10 receivers, and it would not be a shock to see him in the Top 10 come 2027. If Carnell Tate can be a Top 10 pick without ever having 1,000 receiving yards in a season.
**Kewan Lacy, RB, Mississippi**
Lacy transferred from Missouri to Ole Miss and carried the football an FBS-high 307 times last season. He rushed for 24 TDs, which led Power Four running backs, and had 1,564 yards. That ranked second among Power Four backs.
**Dylan Stewart, DE/OLB, South Carolina**
What a homecoming this would be for the Washington D.C. native. As a true freshman, he looked the part of a potential No. 1 pick, with a truly rare burst off the line of scrimmage. If the 6-5, 245-pounder rediscovers his form after something of a letdown campaign last year, he’ll no doubt be in the mix to be off the board very early. The Commanders could team him with Odafe Oweh to give themselves the supreme athleticism off the edge that they lacked in Dan Quinn’s first two seasons at the helm.

**Jordan Seaton, OT, Colorado**
The 2027 draft isn’t quite as deep as 2026 when it comes to offensive tackles, but Seaton is the best of the bunch. Seaton in 2024 became the first true freshman ever to start at offensive tackle for Colorado. Injuries limited him to nine games this past year and when the season was over he transferred to LSU, where he’ll be challenged on a weekly basis more in the SEC than he was in the Big 12. Seaton stands 6-foot-5, 310 pounds and is already a polished NFL-ready pass blocker who projects as a starting left tackle on Sundays. He’ll need to get bigger and stronger to hold up as a run blocker, but he has the frame to do it. The Commanders drafted a late-round center th
**Colin Simmons, EDGE, Texas**
****Cam Coleman, WR, Texans****
The Commanders got some help for their receiving corps with speedy Antonio Williams. Next year they can go get another big big-play target for Jayden Daniels to support Terry McLaurin on the outside.
**KJ Bolden, S, Georgia**
Head coach Dan Quinn continues to add young, exciting and physical players to his defense grabbing with the Georgia safety. Bolden isn’t the biggest safety but does own rare cat-like instincts and is a menace against the run.
**Cam Coleman, WR, Texas**
**Yhonzae Pierre, DE, Alabama**
Washington drafts its seventh Alabama player since 2017, taking the next elite pass-rusher off the Tuscaloosa assembly line. Pierre flexed his potential in his first season as a starter, leading Alabama with eight sacks and posting 45 total pressures with three forced fumbles.
**David Stone, DT, Oklahoma**
**Cam Coleman, WR, Texas**
**Cam Coleman, WR, Texas**
**Cam Coleman, WR, Texas**
Washington can still use better weapons for Jayden Daniels and Coleman has plenty of potential, especially this season after transferring to Texas.
**Cam Coleman, WR, Texas**
**Boubacar Traore, EDGE, Notre Dame**
After a torn ACL cut his season short two years ago, Traore responded with a team-high 7.5 sacks in 2025. A smooth mover at 6-foot-5 and 250-plus pounds, he consistently plays with more power than his frame suggests. His athleticism off the edge pairs with his ability to collapse the pocket and hold up against the run, giving him a versatile, Swiss Army knife profile.
**Ellis Robinson IV, CB, Georgia**
The Commanders failed to fill their massive need at cornerback in the 2026 NFL Draft, so it’ll be an imperative next time around. Robinson is a high-upside prospect who has all the traits to develop into a shutdown player at the next level.
**Collin Simmons, EDGE, Texas**
Dan Quinn hit a home run, landing Sonny Styles, but he’ll need even more pieces as he continues to build this roster. Colin Simmons followed up an impressive freshman season with a dominant Sophomore season, racking up 11 sacks. Simmons brings explosive speed off the edge and even makes a big impact against the run.
**Ryan Wingo, WR, Texas**
Terry McLaurin will be 32 when the 2027 NFL offseason begins. Washington will need some young blood at receiver.
Ryan Wingo has plenty of upside as a big receiver.
