OT: 2024 Washington Commanders off-season thread: change we can believe in!

commercial hell

YOu guys need to STOP thinking about drafting for need. This FO is going BPA and its the right call. But its impossible to predict or to mock for.

You keep carrying on and on about this…there is always a little need factored in….

We traded Howell and Sweat for 50 and 53

That sucks….

 

[Cush]

HEre's the whole trade. Don't love it anywhere near as much now.


Eagles get: Nos. 40, 78, 152

Commanders get: Nos. 50, 53, 161

yup, no need to give up 78 and swap late round picks

scratch one more CB

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

Max Melton gone

 

[usiel]

4 CBs in a row man.

 

[RedRocking]

Maybe they like Forbes…who knows

 

[Roric]

Is peters drunk? Cmon man

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

I would’ve preferred DeJean over Newton. I have to think this might be Allen’s last year, especially since you can save $17 million next year by releasing him

 

[Ridley Simon]

We also added their 161 (late 5th round). So three picks for 2.

No. We actually gave them our 5th. Which was better (152).

And now Powers-Johnson is gone

 

[hotpaws]

f*** i wanted JPJ

Marginally. But this board is obsessed with just plugging in a draft pick into our biggest holes without any sense for what our actual board looks like.

It’s not a good trade.

I’m assuming they thought that the OT they wanted (RR or Paul) wouldn’t be there by 67

 

[kicksavedave]

Well there goes JPJ....

 

[Cush]

first LB off the board

we didn't have to reach to fill a need and they were equal value as the guy we took

 

[Langway]

Should trade down and own the entire seventh round IMO.

 

[dreadpirateroberts]

They were unable to get any of the top tackles and now the corners are flying off the shelf. I’d be nervous running out Daniels and Wylie as the starting tackles. Good luck Jayden

Its a meh trade. Just moving their picks around to where they see the value. They obviously didnt love anyone at 40 and thought 50-53 was good value. They're clearly not obsessed with need like we are.

They better hit because right know it’s looking like a weak minded quantity over quality approach in round 2…

Right?! We can eventually get some BPAs in the 7th for sure!

 

[AlexBrovechkin8]

My mood is at C- right now, at best.

"they better hit" also applies to drafting the CBs. Whats more likely to hit, the DT rated universally as a mid first, or the CBs who were late firsts and slid? We don't really know, but we do know they'll hit on about 25 percent of the picks overall. Expecting them to hit on all of them is unrealistic. But I know you already knew that.

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

I’ve got my eye on 2 LBs, a WR, and O-line…

We had two relatively high 2nds….good teams turn those into starters. Hell yes I expect them to hit. This ain’t the old impotent regime.

 

[Cush]

Nubin to the Giants

 

[Ridley Simon]

There are still 2 really good CB’s. Tampa and Rakestraw. Plus Kneeland on DL. And Sanders the TE. And RR and Paul at OT.

 

[Ovechkins Wodka]

Don’t blow these picks
