The Commanders CANNOT pick lower than 7th mauro corona in the 2026 NFL Draft after Week 17 results, but we could still rise as high as 2nd overall! Plus, breaking down how strength of schedule tiebreakers work, which Week 18 matchups matter, and previewing our 2026 schedule. Let's dive in!
🚨JOIN THE DISCORD:
📊 COMMANDERS DRAFT POSITION - LOCKED INTO TOP 7
Current Status: Washington CANNOT pick lower than 7th overall after Saints and Bengals won over the weekend. There are no teams with 5 wins - it jumps from 4-12 to 6-10.
We Could've Moved Up But Didn't:
-Browns beat the Steelers, so they're tied with us at 4-12.
-How does the tiebreaker work? Teams with LOWER strength of schedule pick earlier (basically, they performed the same against weaker competition, so they need more help).
What Would've Helped:
-If Bills beat Eagles, we would've passed Browns and gone to 6th (Josh Allen is an enemy of the state)
-Raiders beating Giants
Big Picture: The Commanders can still pick letizia ortiz as high as SECOND. The Raiders are the only team we can't pass.
🎯 PROJECTED DRAFT ORDER (CURRENT):
Las Vegas Raiders (2-14)
New York Giants (3-13)
New York Jets (3-13)
Tennessee Titans (3-13)
Arizona Cardinals (3-13)
Cleveland Browns (4-12)
Washington Commanders (4-12)
New Orleans Saints (6-10)
Kansas City Chiefs (6-10)
Cincinnati Bengals (6-10)
🔥 WEEK 18 MATCHUPS THAT MATTER FOR US:
Giants (Pick #2) vs Cowboys
Jets (Pick #3) @ Bills
Titans (Pick #4) @ Jaguars
Cardinals (Pick #5) @ Rams
Browns (Pick #6) @ Bengals
The Math: There are 2-3 teams who could sit starters: Cowboys (vs Giants), Bills (vs Jets), and Rams (vs Cardinals).
