Commanders bypass glaring need to make their strangest pick of the draft
"Peters needed to be much more active on Day 3, where he had four picks. The Commanders kicked things off with Tennessee prospect Joshua Josephs. He was the No. 147 overall pick, even though most experts before the process thought he would go much higher."
"Josephs has promise. He's fundamentally sound. While there may not be any elite attributes that blow you away, he does all the little things well. That matters, especially for a team looking to solidify depth to avoid the lost momentum that occurred last season."
"Sometimes, it's not just about the college production. This is also about what a prospect might become. Josephs might not amount to much; it'll be a fine line. But the Commanders are giving him a shot."
The Washington Commanders had a quiet start to the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting linebacker Sonny Styles and wide receiver Antonio Williams. On Day 3, they picked edge rusher Joshua Josephs at No. 147, despite not addressing a more pressing need at center. Josephs is fundamentally sound and could enhance the team's depth, especially after last season's injury struggles. The Commanders are optimistic about his potential impact, hoping he can elevate the performance of existing edge-rushing veterans and contribute to a successful future.
