"Vinnie Iyer from The Sporting News had the Commanders selecting Ohio State safety Caleb Downs in his latest mock draft. He's projected as one of the safest bets in this year's class. He'd also fill a massive need as a genuine game-changer on the backend capable of helping at all three levels of the field. The Commanders need to get younger and more impactful in their defense after things fell apart in their secondary and around Bobby Wagner at linebacker."
"Downs is an exceptional prospect. Positional importance could cause him to slide slightly, but he has all the credentials to be a top-10 pick. And if the Commanders went in this direction, it would tell fans all they need to know about how those in power perceive Quan Martin's long-term outlook. Martin was projected to make serious strides this season."
Washington Commanders locker room messages emphasize unity and brotherhood despite organizational turbulence. The roster is likely to look entirely different in a few months due to offseason moves beginning with the draft. Adam Peters holds limited selections but could possess a high-end first-round choice usable to trade back or select a long-term difference-maker. Vinnie Iyer's mock draft projects Ohio State safety Caleb Downs as a top prospect who would address major secondary needs and create impact across three levels. Selecting Downs would suggest leadership doubts about Quan Martin's long-term starter viability as Martin enters the final year of his deal in 2026.
