What happened: NFL insider Ian Rapoport posted that the Washington Wizards have the No. 1 pick in this year's NBA draft while the Washington Commanders will host the NFL draft next year. The Wizards won the May 10 NBA Draft Lottery, a result already covered in Wire Report's Wizards lottery item. The Commanders' side of the post refers to Washington, D.C., hosting the 2027 NFL Draft, which the NFL announced on May 5, 2025.

Why it matters: The post matters more as a Washington sports snapshot than as new league news. It ties together two separate tentpole events: the Wizards controlling the top selection in the 2026 NBA Draft and the Commanders being attached to a major NFL offseason showcase in 2027.

What to watch: Watch for the Wizards' draft path as the first round begins June 23, 2026. On the NFL side, the next signal is additional event planning and venue detail around the 2027 draft in Washington.
