"With the Washington Commanders eliminated from playoff contention after a season to forget, it's time to start looking ahead to the 2026 NFL Draft. If the season ended today, Washington currently holds the No. 8 overall pick in the first round. The Commanders hold one luxury in that they won't be thinking about taking a quarterback with their selection, so draft position isn't quite as crucial for them."
"Love is a versatile weapon that can dominate on the ground while racking up additional yardage as a pass-catcher. This season, he finished third in the Heisman Trophy voting and won the Doak Walker Award, presented to the nation's top running back, after accumulating 1,652 total yards of offense. The Notre Dame prospect would be a perfect fit in a Commanders offense that desperately needs to take some pressure off Daniels."
Washington finished the season out of playoff contention and currently holds the No. 8 overall pick. The Commanders do not need to draft a quarterback, reducing urgency on draft position. The top priority is adding offensive weapons to support Jayden Daniels, particularly a dynamic backfield playmaker. Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love offers versatility as a runner and pass-catcher, compiled 1,652 total yards, finished third in Heisman voting, and won the Doak Walker Award. Love would relieve pressure on Daniels and address a lack of a dominant backfield playmaker. Washington has a three-year window while Daniels is on his rookie deal.
