NFL Draft: Commanders' Love for Love

0:00On April 7th, the Washington Commander sit at the 7th spot in the 2026 NFL Draft, just under three weeks away. NFL analyst Todd McShay has commanders fans buzzing after breaking down Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love on Fox Sports. Love tops the running back class by a mile, making him a dream pick for teams craving that position. McShay pointed to the teams picking ahead, Arizona at 3, Tennessee at 4, and the Giants at 5. Those squads need backfield help, but they might pass on Love for elite talent elsewhere, like Texas Tech Edge, Russia David Bailey, Top Corner Mansour, Delane, Offensive Tackle, Francis Mauigoa, or Linebacker, Sunny Styles. Running backs just don't go that high often because of the money involved and positional value. For the Giants, pairing Love with Cam's Gatovo and Tyrone Tracy behind a mobile quarterback like Jackson Dart sounds explosive, but premium positions could tempt them more. McShay even skipped mentioning the Browns at 6, hinting at their own offensive puzzles.

1:03If those teams grab the best at other spots, Love could slide right to Washington at 7, handing the commanders a star runner without reaching. Or, if he's gone, they still snag a top player at premium positions. Either way, this draft set of gives the commanders real options to build around, keeping fans hyped as pick day nears.
