0:00On April 19th, Washington commanders landed the number seven overall pick in the 2026 NFL draft after a disappointing season that fell. Short of expectations. General manager Adam Peter's face is big pressure with no second rounder this year thanks to the trade for left tackle Laramie Tunsell, so that top. Selection has to count. Peter's is eyeing top prospects but keeping trade lines open, though he's leaning towards staying put unless a killer deal comes in. One quarterback prospect stands out as a likely first rounder which could shake things up depending on how the board falls. Flashback to the last time Washington picked seventh overall back in 1999 when they were still the Redskins. They grabbed cornerback Cham Bailey, a Georgia Bulldog star who lit it up right away as a rookie. Bailey became a shut down corner with four probals and two all pro nods in DC. Then got traded to Denver in 2004 for running back. Clinton, Portis, and a pick. Both thrived. Portis rushed for over 6,000 yards and 46 scores here while
1:04Bailey racked up 13 probals total and Hall of Fame. Glory. If Peter's pulls off something close to that Bailey magic at number seven, Commander's fans will be set for years.
