In Mark Tyler's alternate 2026 NFL mock draft, the Washington Commanders made a strategic trade, moving from the 7th to the 15th pick, acquiring additional value in the process. At pick 15, they selected Denzel Boston, a wide receiver from Washington, who is expected to enhance their offensive capabilities alongside Terry McLaurin. Following this, at pick 46, they chose Gabe Jacus, an EDGE player from Illinois, to strengthen their defense. In the third round, they added Malik Muhammad, a cornerback from Texas, who impressed during the Senior Bowl. The Commanders continued to build their roster with picks including Adam Randall, a running back from Clemson, known for his dual-threat ability, and Haynes King, a quarterback from Georgia Tech, who possesses significant upside despite needing development. This draft strategy reflects the team's focus on addressing key needs while also planning for future seasons.
