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

[ynotcaps]

Yeah, I'm with you that it definitely feels like JD, but I don't know how shocking it'd be if it went another way. EVERYONE was a million percent sure about Mac Jones, no one saw the Trey Lance trade coming. So it's happened before, and not very long ago.

It's very dramatic. The saving grace is that it'll be over for us early. The sneaky benefit of an early pick, lol.

You've obviously forgotten about our dramatic trade back into the early-to-mid first round to get our OT!

 

[kicksavedave]

Gotta remember until the regular NFL seasons is over the coaches are not involved so once they are out is when they become part of the overall process. Its not just scouts and the GM that are the only inputs into making a pick. So thinking that things should be locked in evaluation wise that early doesn't make all that sense to me at least.

This. Plus, the offseason begins with the free agency period, so coaches and FO's focus on that early in the offseason. DQ and AP have said around late Feb that they really hadn't focused much on the draft yet, but they were about to dig deep into it. The Sr Bowl was Feb 3, the combine and its interviews was Feb 29-Mar 3. All these things are why rankings change a lot in March and April.


I remember being really excited about Quinyon Mitchell in late January as a perfect pick for one of our 2nd rounders, then the rest of the world started paying attention to him and now he's universally a mid 1st round pick, out of our range.

Like this? AZ traded me their 4,27,35 for 2 and I traded 27,36 to Jax for their 17 and snagged Fuaga, then I smoked a cigarette and fell into a nice dream.

Is it too much to request he always wears his shoulder pads?

I mean, I guess it's better than requesting he always wear ass-less chaps.

We'd better start being positive about this, cuz it's looking like he's the guy. So let's try this: Maybe a guy with no shoulders is less susceptible to shoulder injuries? Those can be devastating to QBs. And after that Kevin Hart video, we also know he's got no pecs, so he can't hurt those either. Another plus.

And lookit that big head. TONS of room in there to learn how to protect himself, and he genuinely seems like a humble kid, so it's safe to say he knows what he needs to work on.

And in the meantime, we can use AI to replace these concerning images with ones that make him more prototypical in our minds...

Pencils have feelings too?

Is the poll for who we want who want we think the skins will do?

 

[Ridley Simon]

Is the poll for who we want who want we think the skins will do?

I did want. But that’s a good Q. I want JJ. I think it will be JD

I interpreted want. Speculating on who the Commanders will draft seems a folly of the unknowable.

Ignoring the QB pick choice since there are many different opinions the next 4 seemed great.

That just means that almost every NFL head or assistant coach Keim spoke to should be FIRED! Along with every coach, scout and GM McShay talked to.

 

[kicksavedave]

Great interview. If we somehow end up drafting him, I'll be excited even though he's not my first choice. And great googley moogley, she's got quite a nice penthouse spread there, grand piano and all that. Meanwhile he's in a Lowes in Detroit

"With the second pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, the Washington Commanders select...J.J. McCarthy, Quarterback, Michigan"

 

[BobbyClarkeFan16]

I want JJ as well. I'm resigned to the fact that it's going to be Jayden, but JJ played in a pro style offense, comes up big in clutch situations, is the ultimate team guy and knows how to win. That's important. I get that Daniels brings that running and throwing, but this is a fifth year starter and his previous teammates in Arizona were all too happy to see him go.

This should end the drama.

I’m amazed that everyone is more nervous about Drake Maye working out his footwork than they are Daniels obvious risk of serious injury.

It’s like Twilight Zone shit fr.

Interesting…JJ was the only QB we had dinner with and a private workout with too.

Yeah, the guy who never missed a start in 55 straight games is "an obvious risk of injury".
