The Washington Commanders entered the 2026 NFL Draft with six selections. Washington traded second and fourth-round selections to the Houston Texans in March 2025 for five-time Pro Bowl left tackle Laremy Tunsil. That trade worked out well for the Commanders, with Tunsil recently signing a new two-year extension, once again making him the NFL's highest-paid offensive lineman.
The Commanders did add a sixth-round pick last summer, trading former starting running back Brian Robinson Jr. to the San Francisco 49ers.
For the second consecutive year, Washington held onto all of its picks, making six selections, beginning with Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles at No. 7 overall.
