Commanders' Surprise Pick: Sonny Styles

0:00On April 24th, Washington commanders snagged Ohio State Linebacker, sunny styles, with the seventh overall pick in the NFL draft, and it was a total. Surprise! General Manager Adam Peter straight-up said he didn't expect styles to still be on the board, but when he was, it was an easy call. Fans had been buzzing about top prospects for months, and styles stood out as a prime target for the team's defense. But after the pick, a fan poll on Hogg's Haven showed massive approval. 97% gave it an A or B grade, with 85% going. Straight A. That means the fan base jumped on board quick, even though a few folks had mixed feelings about passing on other spots like offense. Some fans wanted offensive firepower for quarterback Jaden Daniels, especially after top receivers and a running back like Jeremiah Love went early. Others question picking linebacker over higher value positions or players like Caleb Downs, styles as Ohio State teammate, who got taken 12th by the reman.

1:01Rival Cowboys. A couple other names like Rubin Bain and McCye Limon were still around too. But styles bring serious heat. He's athletic, smart, or the green dot as the defensive signal collar in college, and switch from safety, so he hey, covers passes well. Paired with vets like Leo Chanau and Frankie Luvu, plus Jordan Maggi, he sets a star right away and speed up that defense under new coordinator, Durante Jones. This first round steel lines up perfect with Peters' plan to get younger and faster, promising a linebacker crew that could dominate for years. Now eyes turn to Friday's third round picket, 71st overall, for more roster boosts.
