Prisco: Commanders Should Draft Tyson

0:00On April 22nd, Washington commanders sitting pretty at pick 7 in the 2026 NFL draft. After plugging holes in free agency, GM Adam Peters can just snag the best player available. CBS Sports's Pete Prisco dropped his final mock, and he says they should grab Arizona State wide receiver Jordan Tyson. Teams have been buzzing about other top prospects for Washington, like Notre Dame running back Jeremiah Love or Ohio State Stars, sunny styles, carnel tape, Caleb Downs, and LSU Corner, Mansour Delane. But Prisco flips the script, focusing on what they truly need instead of predictions. Fans and analysts are split on this pick since it's a bit out of left field. Still, it makes sense for boosting the passing attack around quarterback Jayden Daniels. Tyson pairs perfectly with veteran Terry McCorn, who's turning 31 this September. NFL scouts have loved Tyson's raw talent from the jump. His workout clips lit up the media this week, ramping up the hype.

1:00Expect him to go top 10 Thursday night, maybe even as high as number 5, to the New York Giants. If Tyson slides past those early picks, the commanders are primed to pounce and lock in that weapon for Daniels right now.
