Commanders Host Omar Cooper Jr. for a Pre-Draft Visit
The Washington Commanders hosted former Indiana wide receiver and projected first-round pick Omar Cooper Jr. on a pre-draft visit on Friday, according to the NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Cooper could be a trade-down option for the Commanders, who currently hold the seventh overall pick. The 22-year-old is projected to be taken anywhere from pick No. 13 to pick No. 26 in the first round. He is a skilled slot receiver who can also play on the outside, so his versatility should make him attractive to plenty of receiver-needy NFL teams near the back half of the first round. A landing spot in D.C. would actually be a great spot for Cooper's dynasty/keeper value, as he'd likely immediately become the No. 2 for the Commanders behind Terry McLaurin. Cooper never had a 1,000-yard season in four seasons with the Hoosiers, but he did go out on a high note in 2025 to help Indiana go undefeated and win the national championship, catching 69 passes for 937 yards and 13 touchdowns in 16 games played.
