Commanders' Draft Dilemma: Styles or Tate?

0:00On April 23rd, the Washington commanders are hours from their pick at number seven overall in the 2026 NFL draft. ESPN insider Jeremy Fowler says it boils down to two Ohio State stars, linebacker sunny styles or wide receiver carnal tape. Styles fits head coach Dan Quinn's defensive vision perfectly, while take could boost quarterback Jaden Daniels passing game. Up top, Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza goes first overall no doubt. The New York Jets likely grab edge rusher David Bailey or defensive tackle Arville Reese at number two, shaking up the board early. General manager Adam Peters and Quinn have plans ready, including trade back options, if deals pop. Teens around the league see styles as a dream for Quinn, but wonder if Washington leans offense instead. The commanders beefed up defense big time this off season, which was crucial. Still, Daniels needs more weapons beyond Terry McCorn, running back with shot white and tight end chiggle concollo.

1:01Fowler notes Washington spent tons of time with Tate, and Peters has praised Styles highly, but both could slip away. Maybe the Tennessee Titans take styles as their Fred Warner type, or the Cleveland Browns and New York Giants snag Tate. It's all fluid to the clock hits, so Peters stays ready to pivot. This pick could define their future on either side of the ball.
