Among the stacked Week 10 schedule in college football was No. 11 Notre Dame taking on No. 1 Miami. It was a game 25 out of 32 NFL teams had scouts at, including the Washington Commanders.

Unlike some teams in attendance, it is unlikely the Commanders were scouting starting quarterback CJ Carr and Darian Mensah, who are both considered draft prospects. Washington would have liked to see Miami receiver Malachi Toney, but he was out with a high-ankle sprain. Still, there were numerous other players the Commanders could have been keeping an eye on, predominantly on defense.

Perhaps the top prospect Washington could have been watching was Notre Dame cornerback Leonard Moore. He is viewed as a potential top-five or top-10 draft pick and given their current record, the Commanders would have a realistic chance at him. In this game, he recorded four tackles, including a tackle for loss. Moore was an All-American last year and had five interceptions, although he is still looking for his first pick this season.

Miami also has two talented defensive tackles, Justin Scott and Ahmad Soten. Scott is seen as the better of the two, potentially being a first-rounder but more likely to be drafted in the second round. Soten is a day-two player, potentially sliding to the third day of the draft. Neither player did anything in this game that would have significantly increased their draft stock. Still, given Washington’s injury issues at defensive tackles, they could be players the Commanders consider picking up.
