Commanders' defensive crisis meets its savior in Mel Kiper's mock draft

With the college campaign now in the books, mock draft experts are kicking off the season of prognostication.

The granddaddy of them all, ESPN’s Mel Kiper Jr., released a first-round projection. Washington Commanders fans should be very excited about the prospect he marked down before the all-important evaluation process gathers pace.

Before getting to the player, Kiper is quick to point out that it is still very early. The formal pre-draft process has not even begun. There are still head coaching jobs to be filled. Coordinator positions as well.

In Washington, there is no defensive coordinator.
