Add The Sporting News as a Preferred Source by clicking here.The Washington Commanders hold the No. 7 overall pick in the NFL Draft, and who the franchise will select with that pick is up for debate.Some think Jeremiyah Love if the Notre Dame running back somehow falls. Others think Caleb Downs or Sonny Styles, both of whom would improve Dan Quinn's defense.But over the past week, it has been receiver that has heated up in most mock drafts, with the Commanders needing a running mate for Terry McLaurin.And for ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, teams are wondering if Washington will go offense at No. 7."Teams I've talked to believe Styles would be a dream Dan Quinn pick, but they also wonder whether the Commanders are leaning offense," Fowler wrote. "Wide receiver Carnell Tate (Ohio State) is a popular name here, and Washington has spent a lot of time with him."More:Chiefs get Chris Jones gift in latest mock draftCommanders to go offense?Well, it is easy to say that based on the mock drafts coming out, but also because Washington went very defense-heavy in free agency, filling several needs.That doesn't mean they won't add more defensive players, but in the first-round, Jayden Daniels might benefit from another weapon.Whether that is Love or someone like Carnell Tate, either would significantly reduce the pressure on Daniels' shoulders to move the offense along.So, this will be an interesting watch, and for most, Washington is leaning offense in the first-round, and looking at its current make-up, it's easy to see why.More NFL news:David Bailey has ideal response to Jets' canceled draft visitAnalyst reveals a must on Chiefs' draft to-do listHow Lamar Jackson is central to Ravens' draft plansSteelers only have 1 option in NFL Draft according to analystBrowns' Todd Monken has perfect response Myles Garrett controversy
