"For the Washington Commanders, talent is needed desperately across all three levels of Dan Quinn's defense. While there have been a few bright spots this season, and even looking back to the fever dream that was 2024, overall, the lack of pop is overwhelmingly evident. Trey Amos looks like a hit on Day 2, but outside of him, questions continue to swirl surrounding Mike Sainristil and the future of the backend in D.C."
"Jermod McCoy hasn't played a snap in 2025, yet he remains the consensus for NFL teams as the top corner available next spring. While a torn ACL in January threw a wrench into his development, he's nearing full strength and could make an appearance for the Tennessee Volunteers before things are all set and done."
"Overall, the injury concern remains minimal, and teams see McCoy as a high-level CB1 for a defense for a long time. He's clinical in coverage, has outstanding ball skills, and is a player who understands the finer nuances of the position in both man and zone that showcase one of the elite prospects in the entire class."
Washington Commanders need talent across all three levels of Dan Quinn's defense. The roster shows a few bright spots, including Trey Amos as a promising Day 2 contributor, but the backend remains a major area of concern. Jermod McCoy projects as a top-available corner despite missing 2025 snaps after a January torn ACL; he offers clinical coverage, strong ball skills, and advanced man and zone technique. Daylen Everette profiles as an elite-speed Day 2 prospect to watch. Commanders sitting in the top 10 could consider McCoy or similar cornerback upgrades in the 2026 draft.
