Complete Pick-by-Pick Analysis
Pick #12 - Washington Commanders: Leonard Moore, Cornerback,
Notre Dame

The Fit:Leonard Moore brings immediate impact to Washington Commanders. Leonard Moore enters the 2026 season as arguably the top defensive prospect in the 2027 class and a legitimate threat to crack the top-10 regardless of position. Scouts call him the top defensive back in the class, citing five interceptions (among th...

His best trait—no sacks allowed in 13 starts at left tackle in 2025—fits perfectly with what this team needs.

Louisville
