Washington Commanders' Mock Draft: Carnell Tate & Malik Muhammad

0:00On April 22nd, the NFL draft hits tomorrow, and I've crunched my final mock for the Washington commanders using my big board and a simulator. Top needs are wide receiver, edge rusher, safety, and center, so our prioritized value there. At pick 7 and round 1, I snag Karnel Tate, though Ohio State wide out, to load up weapons around Jaden Daniels right away. Tate's a polished Z receiver, with sure hands, ready to back up Terry McCorn and grow into a star, kind of like George Pickens. Skipping safety Caleb Downs, I felt the receiver spot was too premium to pass up, especially after last year's injury scares. In round 3 at pick 71, I added Texas corner Malik Muhammad, a long athlete who's shown at the senior bowl and fits perfect next to Trey. Amos. He's light now at 182 pounds but can bulk up for NFL Physicality. Deeper rounds brought Clemson running back Adam Randall in 5. A big 6 foot 3 bruiser with combine speed and return skills like Antonio Gibson.

1:03Then BYU linebacker, Jack Kelly in 6 for tackles and special teams, Indiana Center, Pat Cougan, a champ starter with leadership and USC safety bishop, fits Gerald in 7 for ballhawking instincts. This hall shores up the offense and secondary without forcing reaches, setting Daniels up for a smooth rookie year while building depth across the board.
