Edge Rusher Joshua Josephs Identified as Draft-Day Steal for Commanders

The Washington Commanders identified edge rusher Joshua Josephs as a massive draft-day steal during the 2026 NFL Draft. Josephs joins a draft class that earned an impressive A- grade and finished as the most efficient group in the league in Wins Above Average (WAA) per pick. As part of a defensive overhaul that included seventh-overall pick Sonny Styles, Josephs is expected to provide immediate value to the Commanders' pass rush under head coach Dan Quinn.
