# David Harrison: On a mailbag episode, Harrison said they had backed the Seattle Seahawks to win the Super Bowl, and floated draft-window guesses for a couple of Commanders-fit prospects: Alabama center Parker Brailsford as an early-200s pick and Georgia tight end Oscar Delp as a late-round selection. They also described Ohio State's Sonny Styles as a projected first-round linebacker.
