For all of the Washington Commanders' struggles in 2025, perhaps no positional group underwhelmed more than the team's safeties. Quan Martin was an expected breakout candidate, and instead badly regressed. Free agency signing Will Harris missed considerable time with an injury and was unremarkable when he played.
That makes safety a top position of need for Washington in the 2026 NFL Draft, and thankfully, there's a blue-chip prospect who could be available with the No. 7 overall pick: Ohio State's Caleb Downs.
