In this follow-up mock draft episode of Locked On Commanders, host David Harrison explores a revised trade-up scenario for the Washington Commanders, moving from pick 7 to pick 4 overall in the 2026 NFL Draft. The proposed trade involves the Tennessee Titans, who would drop from 4th to 7th and receive a 2027 second-round pick in return for their 2026 third-round pick (101st overall). The Commanders secure linebacker Sonny Styles at No. 4, a move seen as more favorable than a prior mock that required a higher cost. The episode also details a full draft board with key Day 2 picks: cornerback Davidson Igmanosan (Ohio State), wide receiver Dijon Stripling (Ole Miss), center Jagger Burton (Kentucky), guard Armaje Reed Adams (Texas A&M), safety DJ Payton (Kansas State), and running back Roman Hemby (Indiana). Harrison emphasizes the strategic value of the trade, the fit of the players, and the Commanders’ continued emphasis on building depth and versatility across the roster. The episode concludes with a preview of upcoming position-by-position top 10 boards for the season.
The Commanders could trade up to No. 4 for Sonny Styles by giving the Titans a 2027 second-round pick and their 2026 third-round pick (101st overall).
The trade is structurally favorable—better than the prior mock—because it avoids giving up a 2026 second-round pick and still secures a Day 2 pick.
Davidson Igmanosan and Dijon Stripling are strong fits for the Commanders’ defensive and offensive schemes, respectively.
Jagger Burton and Armaje Reed Adams offer immediate depth and long-term potential at center and guard, key positions on the offensive line.
Roman Hemby is a promising late-round running back with upside as a short-yardage and pass-catching back.

Introduction and Mock Draft Context
David Harrison introduces the episode as a follow-up to the previous day’s mock draft, focusing on a revised trade-up scenario for the Washington Commanders to select Sonny Styles at No. 4 overall.
Trade-Up Strategy and the Titans’ Motivation
“The Tennessee Titans could try to fleece AP and the commanders for more. This fits the math. And if it's a truly dual advantageous situation where both teams are getting what they want, typically you don't see the price go up a whole lot.”
The Trade Structure and Player Acquisition
“The price is definitely a little bit more amicable. Even if the Tennessee Titans want to get a little bit more value back in that trade, instead of giving up that number 101 pick... it's still a very solid return.”
Day 2 Draft Picks and Team Fit
“He's at the length. He's at the height. He's at the speed. He's at the long distance type of thing you need.”
Outro and Preview of Upcoming Content
Harrison wraps up the episode, thanking listeners and teasing the next episode, which will feature position-by-position top 10 Commanders boards. He promotes the Everydayer Club and the sponsor, BetterHelp.
