Washington Commanders 2026 NFL Draft: Pre-draft meetings/visits tracker

The 2026 NFL draft starts Thursday, April 23rd at 8 p.m ET, and will be broadcast live from Pittsburgh, PA. Teams have been scouting these players for years, and the pre-draft process was on full display at the NFL Scouting Combine last week. We still have a series of Pro Days where some players who didn’t test, or get measured, will give teams more information. Teams had access to prospects for formal and informal interviews at the Combine, but as the draft approaches, they are also able to host 30 players for formal visits with two of those already schedule(Makai Lemon, Romello Height). They can also hold workouts and local prospect pro days to get more information on players they have interest in, or players they want teams to think they have interest in.

GM Adam Peters and head coach Dan Quinn had a lot of work to do after a 5-12 season that was a massive dropoff from their first season in Washington. The Commanders had the oldest roster in the league last season, and injecting youth and speed into the lineup was a priority according to Peters. Washington has added nine players in free agency so far, and there will be more signings as the team works to fill out the 90-man offseason roster.

The Washington Commanders have the No. 7 overall pick, but only hold two picks within the top 100. They now have six picks total in this year’s draft, missing 2nd- and 4th-round picks from the Laremy Tunsil trade. Washington got a sixth-round pick back from trading RB Brian Robinson to the 49ers. Adam Peters indicated that the team will listen to trade down offers to gain more picks in this year’s draft.

Below is a list of the draft prospects that Washington has met with and will be updated with private workouts and local pro day players.
