"Speaking with some league sources today, Washington badly wants to trade down from the 7th overall pick. The Commanders are without a second-round pick. If they can trade down, a top target for Washington is LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane."
"Delane was the definition of a shutdown corner with the Tigers last season, and his athletic intangibles should make a smooth transition to the pros. This also fits a need for Washington after Marshon Lattimore, Jonathan Jones, and Noah Igbinoghene all departed this offseason."
"If this is the plan, and nobody really knows for sure, the Commanders wouldn't want to move back too far. Delane could be a top 10 pick. He may even be in legitimate contention for Washington at No. 7, in all honesty."
The Washington Commanders are considering trading down from their No. 7 overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. General manager Adam Peters is not expecting many offers but remains open to possibilities. NFL Draft insider Charlie Campbell reports that the Commanders are eager to recoup extra picks, with LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane as a primary target. Delane's impressive performance as a shutdown corner makes him an appealing choice, especially after the team lost key players in the offseason. The Commanders aim to avoid moving back too far in the draft order.
