The Washington Commanders Select Matt Gulbin, C, Michigan State in the Sixth Round of the 2026 NFL Draft

It’s Day 3 of the NFL Draft, and the Washington Commanders have made their third pick of the weekend! They went with Ohio State LB Sonny Styles in the first round and Clemson WR Antonio Williams in the third round yesterday. Washington’s first pick of the day was Tennessee EDGE Joshua Josephs, they selected RB Kaytron Allen and now they made the second of their two sixth-round picks.

The Commanders drafted Michigan State center matt Gulbin, ended some anxiety about whether Washington would add to the position.

They released former starter Tyler Biadasz, and didn’t sign a replacement in free agency. Nick Allegretti filled in for the season finale, and could keep that job to start the season. Gulbin played five years of college football with his last season at Michigan State.
