I'm gonna tell you who I think he is. He is a clone of [Brock] Bowers ... He's built like Evan Engram, but Engram was never a voluntary blocker like this dude is.""
"The expectation is that when the Washington Commanders make their selection with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, it will likely be a defensive player. Safety Caleb Downs, together with edge rushers Rueben Bain Jr. and David Bailey, have been linked as ideal targets for Washington, given the team's glaring needs at their positions. But it's not a sure thing that they'll be at the top of general manager Adam Peters' list, or that they'll even be available."
Washington projects to select a defensive player with the No. 7 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft, with safety Caleb Downs and edge rushers Rueben Bain Jr. and David Bailey linked as fits for team needs. The Commanders also need offensive help, particularly at wide receiver and tight end. Oregon tight end Kenyon Sadiq is a 20-year-old prospect with first-round upside, praised for athleticism, quickness, route-running and blocking ability. Current mock projections place Sadiq later in the first round or in the 20s, but his measurables and a strong Combine showing could elevate his draft stock.
