Jordyn Tyson, WR, Arizona State
No one, including Peters, knows what the Commanders are going to do at No. 7, but when it comes to offensive playmakers, most of the debate comes down to two players: Ohio State wide receiver Carnell Tate and Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love.
Although it could make sense for the Commanders to address either position, receiver is certainly the more dire of the two. They don’t have a solid answer on who will be the No. 2 player opposite Terry McLaurin, and there are no guarantees on his future after 2026. There could be a scenario where the Commanders will significantly rework their receiver room next season, and it’s possible Tate would be a foundational piece in that effort.
Regardless of what the Commanders choose to do in 2027, they do need another player to help stretch the field. Tate could help them do that, but Draft Wire’s Curt Popejoy has another player in mind: Arizona State’s Jordyn Tyson. There’s a bit of risk involved with picking him, but many analysts agree that on paper, he’s one of the best offensive weapons in the class.
“Our prediction for Jordyn Tyson is that he blows teams away at his private pro day and shows his hamstring injury is behind him,” Popejoy wrote. “This is enough for him to return to his spot as a Top 10 pick, where the Commanders scoop him up to line up with Terry McLaurin.”
