The Washington Commanders are looking to improve after a disappointing 5-12 season, with the 2026 NFL Draft approaching where they hold the No. 7 overall pick. Under general manager Adam Peters, who took over in 2024, the team selected quarterback Jayden Daniels and offensive tackle Josh Conerly Jr., both of whom are seen as foundational players. However, the team's draft history reveals a troubling trend, as none of their first-round picks from 2019 to 2023 remain on the roster. CBS Sports analyst Bryan DeArdo identified Trent Williams, chosen No. 4 overall in 2010, as the best pick due to his impressive career, including seven Pro Bowl selections. Conversely, Patrick Ramsey, selected No. 32 overall in 2002, is deemed the worst pick due to his lackluster performance and the red flags surrounding his college career. The Commanders have also faced challenges with quarterback selections, including Robert Griffin III and Dwayne Haskins, both of whom did not meet expectations. Overall, the team's draft strategy has been under scrutiny as they prepare for the upcoming draft.
