2026 NFL Mock Draft Shock: Which Star Prospect Could Suddenly Slide Out of Top 10?
7. Washington Commanders – Caleb Downs, S, Ohio State
After spending big to overhaul its pass rush, Washington still looks due for an additional difference-maker on its defense. While cornerback Mansoor Delane deserves to be squarely in the conversation here, Downs can handle almost any assignment thrown at him and be a force multiplier for a unit that’s still not on solid ground.
8. New Orleans Saints – Makai Lemon, WR, USC
New Orleans isn’t boxed into taking a receiver early, but it certainly would make sense to boost Tyler Shough’s supporting cast entering Year 2 for the quarterback. With his mastery of working the underneath and intermediate areas, Lemon would pair well with deep threat Chris Olave and open up Kellen Moore’s aerial attack.
