Commanders land surprising cornerback in new NBC mock draft
Commanders land surprising cornerback in new NBC mock draft
NBC broadcasts NFL Sunday Night Football during the NFL regular season.
A couple of days ago, the Sunday Night crew of Tony Dungy, Rodney Harrison, and Jac Collinsworth took turns alternating selections in their own first-round 2025 mock draft.
It was Collinsworth's turn at No. 29 when they were to make the Washington Commanders selection. Here is how they used the pick and then offered commentary:
No. 29 Washington Commanders CB Benjamin Morrison, Notre Dame
JC: "Had he been healthy this year, I think he would have been a top-ten pick. He had a hip injury and missed their run to the playoffs and national championship game. Big physical guy, NFL bloodlines..."
TD: "This is where these guys go in the draft. They are guys that have high first-round talent, but something happened, injuries, style of defense, etc."
RH: "I was a little surprised you didn't go safety Xavier Watts, Notre Dame, because Jeremy Chinn left and they still need help at the safety position. The guy has tremendous instincts; he tackles well. He is just a playmaker, reads things before they happen."
If you don't want to watch the NBC SNF Mock Draft, here is also how their first-round mock draft developed:
