The Washington Commanders are reportedly eager to trade down from their No. 7 overall pick in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, with a keen interest in LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane. According to Charlie Campbell of Walter Football, the team is looking to bolster its defense after a disappointing season, where they ranked among the worst in the NFL. The Commanders currently do not have a second or fourth-round pick, having traded them away in a deal for left tackle Laremy Tunsil from the Houston Texans. Delane is highly regarded as the best cornerback in the draft, boasting an impressive 90.7 Pro Football Focus coverage grade and a 31.3 passer rating when targeted. However, with the draft class being perceived as weak, trading down may prove challenging, especially if they want to secure Delane, who is projected to be a top-10 pick. The Kansas City Chiefs, picking at No. 9, are also in need of a cornerback, making the situation more complex for Washington as they seek to improve their secondary.
