Commanders could keep losing and still miss out on Jeremiah Smith

Riggo's Rag argues that despite a 1-4-1 start, the Washington Commanders are unlikely to land Ohio State wide receiver Jeremiah Smith in the 2027 NFL Draft. With Terry McLaurin sidelined by a torn patellar tendon and Stefon Diggs on a one-year deal, Washington faces long-term receiver needs, but Smith is projected near the top of the draft board.

The writer believes the Commanders will likely finish with six or seven wins against an easier upcoming schedule, placing them out of range for the top picks. With quarterback Jayden Daniels healing and Smith rising toward potential first-overall selection status, the article notes Washington will probably have to target alternative receiver options.
