The 2022 Washington Commanders draft thread

They already admitted he isn't a MLB, will give Cole Holcombe a shot at it

This - it takes too long for Davis to diag the play. Getting a MLB that can ID the play quickly would be a double bonus because it would free up Davis to play weakside where he's better suited.

Blurb here about Cole turner

His receiving production spiked after converting to tight end in 2020. Despite the position change, Turner played 99% of his snaps in the slot or out wide as a junior. He played 15% of his snaps inline in 2021, but still spent 58% of his snaps in the slot and 27% out-wide. Essentially a big wide receiver, Turner was able to log a 111-1,282-19 receiving line in his final 20 games. Turner was particularly impressive as a touchdown scorer, producing 35% of Nevada's touchdowns in 2020 and 30% in 2021.

Big target!

Don't mind the Howell pick, never bad to have a developmental qb on the roster, but we still have a major hole at MLB and only two 7th rounders left. Surely there has to be some plan to address this.

We have a 6th rounder I thought

figured thats where he'd be just was throwing out a possible albeit unwanted scenario

We have a 6th rounder I thought

That was included in the trade fror the 2 5th rounders

Maybe Shaka Toney is moving to LB?? He was kinda a hybrid, or at least thought to be, when we drafted him last year.

Still ... I would have preferred we drafted a LB rather than a TE in the 5th.

2 draft spots left --- Gotta be OLINE and LINEBACKER.

For some reason, we have done really well in the 7th round. Hopefully we can keep that up.

He definitely has that size advantage - according to ESPN's info he's had issues with the drops. Not sure it would make a difference but I hope he takes a cue from Jahan Dotson and starts carrying the ball everywhere until he gets comfortable with it.

Yeah that slipped my mind

WR, RB and TE…this draft is about surrounding Wentz with weapons

Getting the D-Tackle a year early to play behind and eventually replace Payne. Smart move. It took me a day, but I’m coming around on that strategy.
