The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/teams\/washington-commanders\/363\" data-autotag=\"a4fb178e-5fd0-440a-8a7b-b87aea742850\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":b|e|k|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_a\">Commanders<\/a> are in a good position, considering the players who could be available match their remaining needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">One player often linked to Washington throughout the pre-draft process has been Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles. The 6-foot-4, 245-pounder is almost a perfect prospect. What&#8217;s Styles&#8217; biggest weakness? He doesn&#8217;t play what the NFL considers a premium position, as an off-ball linebacker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Who cares? Styles is an elite prospect. He possesses size, ridiculous athleticism, top-notch football instincts, intelligence, a hard-hitter, versatility, a high football IQ, high character, and he&#8217;s also the son of a former NFL linebacker.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">So, why wouldn&#8217;t Washington be interested in Styles? The Commanders were present at Ohio State&#8217;s pro day on Wednesday and spoke with Styles. On Thursday, in an appearance on &#8220;Up &amp; Adams&#8221; with Kay Adams, Styles confirmed he has an upcoming pre-draft (top 30) visit with Washington.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">&#8220;I have met with the Jets, and I&#8217;ll be meeting with the Cowboys and Commanders,&#8221; Styles said.<\/p>\n<p>Expert NFL picks: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-t-l=\":body nav (nfl)|e|auto spike click:5|\u2691u\" class=\"gnt_ar_b_sp_a\" href=\"https:\/\/sportsdata.usatoday.com\/football\/nfl\/picks\">Exclusive betting insights only at USA TODAY.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">Dallas probably shouldn&#8217;t get too attached to Styles, because he&#8217;s not making it outside the top 10.<\/p>\n<p class=\"gnt_ar_b_p\">There&#8217;s a real possibility that Styles goes inside the top five. The New York Giants, who have the No. 5 overall pick, are often mentioned as a possibility for Styles. If he makes it to the Commanders at No. 7, GM Adam Peters could be deciding between Styles or an offensive player. That&#8217;s a pretty good spot to be in.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"March 26, 2026, 11:14 p.m. ET Who will the Washington Commanders take at No. 7 overall in next&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":836266,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2069],"tags":[95878,427,7,6,95993,95994,97116,95882,95930,95896,95888,96683,96215,95906,95883,96006,95881,855,111,2480],"class_list":{"0":"post-836265","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-washington-commanders","8":"tag-accessfree","9":"tag-commanders","10":"tag-football","11":"tag-nfl","12":"tag-sstssportsnflcommanders","13":"tag-sstsncommanders","14":"tag-tag2026-nfl-draft","15":"tag-tagamerican-football","16":"tag-tagbig-ten-conference-football","17":"tag-tagnational-sports","18":"tag-tagnfl","19":"tag-tagnfl-draft","20":"tag-tagohio-state-buckeyes-football","21":"tag-tagoverall-positive","22":"tag-tagsports-news","23":"tag-tagwashington-commanders","24":"tag-typestory","25":"tag-washington","26":"tag-washington-commanders","27":"tag-washingtoncommanders"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/116299617002570742","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=836265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/836265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/836266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=836265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=836265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=836265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
