Where do Commanders pick in way-too-early 2027 NFL mock draft?
The Washington Commanders are projected to pick No. 11 in the way-too-early 2027 NFL mock draft following their 2026 selection of linebacker Sonny Styles. ESPN's Jordan Reid suggests they could target Texas edge rusher Colin Simmons, who had 12 sacks in the 2025 season. Simmons is viewed as a high-upside defensive prospect with room to grow against the run and as a pass rusher.
