Washington Commanders Eye Sonny Styles in NFL Draft

0:00On March 31, Washington Commanders sitting at the 7th overall pick in next month's 2026 NFL draft, and their General Manager Adam. Peters is keeping options open with 6 teams picking ahead, but one name keeps popping up in his praises, Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles, who looks like a prime target if he slides their way. Peters just scouted Ohio State's pro day last week, calling their program a total player factory with top 10 talents everywhere. He broke down Styles' big, long, fast, athletic, smart, and a natural leader, straight fire on the field. What stands out most is Styles' football smarts, that high IQ that lets him replays like a book. Peters made it clear this kid's well-coached and ready to contribute right away for a defense needing that edge. Mod drafts, though, have Styles mocked to the New York Giants at number 5, so Washington might miss out unless a surprise happens up top. Teams ahead all could use a linebacker like him. If Styles falls past those early picks, Peters faces a huge call. Snag the stud or stick to the board?
