Joel Klatt just changed Commanders' draft conversation without even trying
"Washington gave up the most yards in the league last season. Jayden Daniels hopefully will be back and healthy. I think that the offense is going to be better just because of that. Okay, we can solidify that defense, which was very poor. I like Mansoor Delane from LSU. He's my top corner. The Commanders can grab the top corner right here at seven,"
"LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane would be a tremendous fit in Washington, especially with the club looking to bolster one of the worst pass defenses anywhere in the league under new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones. Delane has the athletic attributes Jones may be looking for in his defensive revolution. His anticipation of routes and ability to mirror receivers are astonishing, reflected in his 27.5 passer rating when targeted in 2025. He is versatile, operating in both zone and press-man schemes during his college career."
Washington Commanders draft planning centers on Ohio State safety Caleb Downs, edge rushers Rueben Bain Jr. and David Bailey, and linebacker Arvell Reese as primary targets for the No. 7 pick. Uncertainty about prospect availability requires general manager Adam Peters to consider contingency options. Mansoor Delane from LSU emerges as a plausible alternative to address the team’s league-worst pass yardage allowed. Delane offers route anticipation, receiver-mirroring ability, a 27.5 passer rating when targeted in 2025, and versatility in both zone and press-man coverages, aligning with new defensive coordinator Daronte Jones’ potential plans.
