Commanders land Texas star in 2027 NFL mock draft

The Washington Commanders, currently 1-3-1, are set to face the San Francisco 49ers, one of the NFL's two undefeated teams, in a Week 6 Monday Night Football showdown. After a recent loss to the New York Giants, the Commanders now look ahead to the 2027 NFL Draft. According to a mock draft conducted by Pro Football Focus’s Gordon McGuinness, the Commanders hold the No. 8 overall pick and would select Texas wide receiver Cam Coleman.

Although Coleman hasn't been outstanding this season, averaging 18.7 yards per reception and scoring five touchdowns, he still possesses big-play potential. At 6-foot-3 and 200 pounds, Coleman is a physical receiver who has averaged 18.7 yards per reception this season. The Commanders may need more pass-catchers for quarterback Jayden Daniels and Coleman's addition would provide the offense with the element it is currently lacking.

The team could also target a young receiver to pair with promising 2026 third-round pick Antonio Williams, depending on the futures of Terry McLaurin and Stefon Diggs.
