One last mock draft roundup? Yes one last mock draft roundup, this time looking at the way too early projections for Washington<\/a>\u2019s 1st round draft pick in 2027. The mock drafters think Washington will be slightly more successful than last season, with a draft range from #8-29(WalterFootball is the outlier). Vegas has also set expectations below average with a starting line of 7.5 wins for Washington in 2025. Super Bowl odds are currently at +4500<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Commanders had 6 picks going into this year\u2019s draft, and added 6 players with no trade downs. Washington had several needs entering this weekend\u2019s draft, but Adam Peters stuck to his board and added players that some fans didn\u2019t agree with.<\/p>\n

This roundup has 18 way too early 2027 mock drafts and 8 of them feature WRs. Six of those have Texas<\/a> WR Cam Coleman going to the Washington Commanders<\/a>, and he\u2019s the most popular prospect in this roundup. Washington drafted Antonio Williams<\/a> in the 3rd round, but he\u2019s just under 6\u2019, and a lot of fans wanted a bigger receiver to complement, and eventually replace Terry McLaurin<\/a>. Coleman is 6\u20193\u201d, 200 lbs, and is expected to be a top pick next year.<\/p>\n

The one position that Washington got knocked the most for not drafting this year was CB, but there is only one option for the Commanders in this roundup. Mike Sainristil<\/a>, Trey Amos<\/a>, and Amik Robertson<\/a> are the top three cornerbacks on the roster, and if they struggle this season, the position will be much more popular for Washington in the mock drafts.<\/p>\n

Pass rusher was the second-most mocked position to Washington. They drafted Joshua Josephs<\/a> in the 5th round, and they added several players in free agency. Odafe Oweh<\/a> and Javontae Jean-Baptiste were the only DE\u2019s on the roster past this season before drafting Josephs, and they will need to refresh the position again next. Will that happen in the 1st round?<\/p>\n

#8TWSN (Alameda)<\/a><\/p>\n

Ryan Coleman-Williams, WR, Alabama<\/a><\/p>\n

This may be a reach right now, but his raw talent is up there with all previous top 10 receivers, and it would not be a shock to see him in the Top 10 come 2027. If Carnell Tate<\/a> can be a Top 10 pick without ever having 1,000 receiving yards in a season.<\/p>\n

#9Cleveland.com (Goul)<\/a><\/p>\n

Kewan Lacy<\/a>, RB, Mississippi<\/a><\/p>\n

Lacy transferred from Missouri<\/a> to Ole Miss and carried the football an FBS-high 307 times last season. He rushed for 24 TDs, which led Power Four running backs, and had 1,564 yards. That ranked second among Power Four backs.<\/p>\n

#10USA Today (Middlehurst-Schwartz)<\/a><\/p>\n

Dylan Stewart, DE\/OLB, South Carolina<\/a><\/p>\n

What a homecoming this would be for the Washington D.C. native. As a true freshman, he looked the part of a potential No. 1 pick, with a truly rare burst off the line of scrimmage. If the 6-5, 245-pounder rediscovers his form after something of a letdown campaign last year, he\u2019ll no doubt be in the mix to be off the board very early. The Commanders could team him with Odafe Oweh to give themselves the supreme athleticism off the edge that they lacked in Dan Quinn\u2019s first two seasons at the helm.<\/p>\n

NBC Sports Philadelphia (Frank)<\/a><\/p>\n

Jordan Seaton<\/a>, OT, Colorado<\/a><\/p>\n

The 2027 draft isn\u2019t quite as deep as 2026 when it comes to offensive tackles, but Seaton is the best of the bunch. Seaton in 2024 became the first true freshman ever to start at offensive tackle for Colorado. Injuries limited him to nine games this past year and when the season was over he transferred to LSU<\/a>, where he\u2019ll be challenged on a weekly basis more in the SEC than he was in the Big 12. Seaton stands 6-foot-5, 310 pounds and is already a polished NFL-ready pass blocker who projects as a starting left tackle on Sundays. He\u2019ll need to get bigger and stronger to hold up as a run blocker, but he has the frame to do it. The Commanders drafted a late-round center th<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report (Ballentine)<\/a>#11Sporting News (Iyer)<\/a><\/p>\n

Cam Coleman, WR, Texans<\/p>\n

The Commanders got some help for their receiving corps with speedy Antonio Williams. Next year they can go get another big big-play target for Jayden Daniels<\/a> to support Terry McLaurin on the outside.<\/p>\n

All Access Football (Serritella)<\/a><\/p>\n

KJ Bolden<\/a>, S, Georgia<\/p>\n

Head coach\u00a0Dan Quinn\u00a0continues to add young, exciting and physical players to his defense grabbing with the Georgia safety. Bolden isn\u2019t the biggest safety but does own rare cat-like instincts and is a menace against the run.<\/p>\n

DraftWire (Popejoy)<\/a>#12The Score (Belbeck)<\/a><\/p>\n

Yhonzae Pierre<\/a>, DE, Alabama<\/p>\n

Washington drafts its seventh Alabama player since 2017, taking the next elite pass-rusher off the Tuscaloosa assembly line. Pierre flexed his potential in his first season as a starter, leading Alabama with eight sacks and posting 45 total pressures with three forced fumbles.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report (Bachar)<\/a>Tankathon<\/a>#13SB Nation (Dator)<\/a>Game Haus (DiTullio)<\/a><\/p>\n

Cam Coleman, WR, Texas<\/p>\n

Washington can still use better weapons for Jayden Daniels and Coleman has plenty of potential, especially this season after transferring to Texas.<\/p>\n

Draft Countdown (Bosarge)<\/a>#14CBS Sports (Petagna)<\/a><\/p>\n

Boubacar Traore<\/a>, EDGE, Notre Dame<\/p>\n

After a torn ACL cut his season short two years ago, Traore responded with a team-high 7.5 sacks in 2025. A smooth mover at 6-foot-5 and 250-plus pounds, he consistently plays with more power than his frame suggests. His athleticism off the edge pairs with his ability to collapse the pocket and hold up against the run, giving him a versatile, Swiss\u00a0Army\u00a0knife profile.<\/p>\n

Athlon Sports (Easterling)<\/a><\/p>\n

Ellis Robinson IV<\/a>, CB, Georgia<\/p>\n

The Commanders failed to fill their massive need at cornerback in the\u00a02026 NFL Draft, so it\u2019ll be an imperative next time around. Robinson is a high-upside prospect who has all the traits to develop into a shutdown player at the next level.<\/p>\n

Saturday Blitz (Rome)<\/a><\/p>\n

Collin Simmons, EDGE, Texas<\/p>\n

Dan Quinn hit a home run, landing Sonny Styles<\/a>, but he\u2019ll need even more pieces as he continues to build this roster. Colin Simmons followed up an impressive freshman season with a dominant Sophomore season, racking up 11 sacks. Simmons brings explosive speed off the edge and even makes a big impact against the run.<\/p>\n

#29Walter Football<\/a><\/p>\n

Ryan Wingo<\/a>, WR, Texas<\/p>\n

Terry McLaurin will be 32 when the 2027 NFL offseason begins. Washington will need some young blood at receiver.<\/p>\n

Ryan Wingo has plenty of upside as a big receiver.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"One last mock draft roundup?
