On Saturday, in the latest installment of the “Breer Report,” the NFL insider previewed the top 10 with a combination of what he was hearing in the NFL, plus what he thought would happen. It’s worth noting that Breer filmed this before the Giants traded defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence to the Cincinnati Bengals for the 10th overall pick. Now, the Giants have the Nos. 5 and 10 picks in the first round.

Here are the players Breer linked to each position, and we’ll focus specifically on the Washington Commanders, who have the seventh overall pick.
-
1. Raiders: Indiana Quarterback Fernando Mendoza
-
2. Jets: Texas Tech EDGE David Bailey
-
3. Cardinals: (Would love to trade) EDGE Arvell Reese if they stay, potentially Notre Dame RB Jeremiyah Love
-
4. Titans: (Would love to trade) Reese (if available), Love and Ohio State LB Sonny Styles
-
5. Giants: (I would love to change) Sonny Styles is the name you hear the most, also Miami OL Frances Mauigoa, Ohio State WR Carnell Tate and Arizona State WR Jordyn Tyson have been linked to New York.
-
6. Browns: (I’d love to trade) Mauigoa, Utah OL Spencer Fano, Miami OL Kadyn Proctor, Tate and Tyson are names you should know.
-
8: Saints: Cornerback or receiver are your best options. Tate, LSU CB Mansoor Delane
-
9: Chiefs: Overtime at some point, but maybe not here. Tyson or Tate are possibilities here, as is a corner if Delane is available. Maybe Oregon TE Kenyon Sadiq.
-
10: Bengals (before trade with Giants): defensive player, Downs, Delane, Tennessee CB Jermod McCoy, Proctor
Here’s what Breer had to say about the commanders:
“I think this could be Jeremiyah Love’s opportunity,” Breer said. “For the same reasons, if it’s the Titans and they pair him with Cam Ward, I think it would make sense for Love to pair with Jayden Daniels, take some pressure off him. Maybe it lessens the need to involve Jayden Daniels in the running game, so it will take miles off his body over the course of a year.”
Breer then turned his attention to Styles:

“And then the other name here is Sonny Styles. And this could be the floor for Styles. There’s a lot of love for Styles. A lot, he’d be in the Commanders equation at No. 7. And we talk about the crossover, the crossover of (Titans coach Robert) Saleh and (Commanders coach Dan) Quinn, both with Pete Carroll/Seattle roots. Styles would fit stylistically with the Commanders.”
While we don’t have access to Washington’s draft board, the two names most associated with the Commanders are Love and Styles. Are they the two best players on the board? It seems almost impossible for both to fall. However, if one of them falls to the No. 7 spot, it could be an easy decision for Washington general manager Adam Peters.
