"The Washington Commanders neglected the wide receiver position in the 2025 offseason, and now the cracks are starting to show in their passing game. Terry McLaurin is getting older, and the Commanders need a respectable complement sooner rather than later. Makai Lemon goes third off the board in this 2026 NFL Mock Draft, but he's a definite WR1 candidate, specializing as a 1-on-1 winner and RAC specialist."
"Adam Peters won't be looking too far ahead right now. The Washington Commanders are 3-4 with a brutal stretch of games upcoming, so it'll be interesting to see how much fight this squad has left amid some ongoing injury problems. If the Commanders lose their next three, they'll be 3-7. A season that promised much will fall by the wayside, and fans will inevitably begin to look at the offseason to see what personnel enhancements can be made."
The Commanders are 3-4 and face a brutal upcoming stretch of games with ongoing injury problems. Losing the next three would drop the team to 3-7 and derail a season that entered with higher expectations. The franchise holds only six draft picks in 2026, making aggressive deadline trades risky for GM Adam Peters. The team currently owns the No. 12 pick and must use the first-round selection wisely. Mock drafts point toward adding a long-term wide receiver target for Jayden Daniels, with Makai Lemon mentioned as a WR1 candidate. Terry McLaurin is aging and several receivers are due to hit free agency.
