Overview
- Pro Football Focus’ latest mock sends David Bailey to Washington at No. 7, citing his 79 pressures, 15 sacks and nation‑leading 93.8 pass‑rush grade in 2025.
- Yahoo Sports analysts Charles McDonald and Nate Tice, as reported by Heavy, also project Bailey to Washington and highlight his explosiveness with noted run‑defense and size concerns.
- Scouting from NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein praises Bailey’s bend and burst with Pro Bowl upside as an odd‑front rush linebacker, while warning teams can run at him.
- Washington’s 2025 sacks skewed to aging veterans Von Miller and Bobby Wagner, who combined for 13.5 and are not under contract for 2026.
- PFF flags limited draft capital without second‑ or fourth‑round picks and, in its mock, adds USC safety Kamari Ramsey in Round 3 and Texas interior lineman Cole Brevard in Round 5.
