Washington Commanders NFL Mock Draft Roundup 1.0

Robinson signed with Georgia as the top cornerback prospect in the country, and it isn't difficult to see why. He possesses lightning-quick feet and loose hips to shadow receivers all over the field, intercepting four passes as a true sophomore last season.

Williams didn't live up to the expectations set in a brilliant true freshman 2024. He remains an absolute burner with game-breaking capabilities.

Coleman is a physically imposing wideout who pairs elite contact balance with the suddenness to make defenders miss in the open field. He runs routes with the nuance of a much smaller receiver and possesses the play strength to consistently punish DBs after the catch.

The Commanders just drafted a dynamic linebacker in Sonny Styles, and Simmons could be their next defensive playmaker. He operated mainly from a two-point stance last season and had an SEC-leading 12 sacks. Simmons can accelerate in a hurry and uses sudden movements to get free of blockers. He's a high-effort, energetic rusher who showcases strong hand swipes to clear the hands of linemen. The 6-foot-3, 240-pound edge rusher reminds me of the Falcons' Jalon Walker. Establishing counter moves is the next step in Simmons' development, as is increasing his lower-body strength to stand up better against the run.

While Rueben Bain Jr. and Akheem Mesidor made their presence known, Moten was the Hurricanes' most impactful defensive lineman in the national championship game. If he builds off that performance, you can pencil him in for the first round next April.

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.

Coleman-Williams will still be 19 years old at the end of next year's college football season, so there is a real possibility he could return to Alabama for his senior season if he does not improve his hands (17 career drops on 114 catchable targets) and address production concerns, including nine games with fewer than 50 receiving yards last season. If he shows more of the electric playmaking ability he flashed against Georgia as a true freshman, he could emerge as a top-10 selection.

I'm banking on Coleman-Williams to rekindle the glory of his breakout freshman season where he seemingly levitated to make gravity defying plays. While the drops mounted last year, he was still getting open and has field tilting talent. It's also important to remember that he re-classified and was a 17-year-old freshman, so there is plenty of time for correction.
