0:00On April 25th, Washington Commanders just snagged Ohio State Linebacker Sonny Styles with the seventh overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft that beefs up their defense, big time. Then General Manager Adam Peters had to chill and wait to the 71st pick for his next move, grabbing Clemson's Antonio Williams, a speedy, wide receiver. They traded away their second and fourth rounders last year to land five-time pro-bowl left tackle Laramie Tunsell, so the gaps in the draft board were real. But Peters stayed patient, eyeing the board like a chess master. Fans are buzzing because Williams fills a huge slot receiver need, pairing perfectly with Terry McCorn to boost quarterback Jaden Daniels. He's the athletic, versatile type, Peters loves, raw but ready to shine and clutch spots. Williams had acquired her senior year at Clemson after first round hype, but the commanders see star potential, maybe even as a future debosamual. Replacement down the line. With four day three picks left, Peters is maximizing every asset, setting of coach Dan Quinn Squad for a real push of these trends hold.
