2024 Early Bird Draft Thread

Are all four of them going to be on the team? Cause if they are then cool. We're set at QB for a while. ..lol. But if not then what's the point? Are they trying to see which one talks more than the others? I don't give a crap about all this stuff. Who can beat the defense on 3rd and 9 is all I care about. Who does that the best? All this other stuff is such overkill.

If you don't know who your guy is at this point then this would concern me a bit. You have had all this time to evaluate these guys. You should already have them slotted by this point.

I'm still on a wait and see approach w/ Peters and Quinn. As we all should be.

When interviewing candidates it can be good to have them all in the same room before the interviews. You can get a feel for their personality and its dynamic in a competitive environment. This is the top position in the game, arguably any team game. by observing them in an environment that might be difficult for them, you get a feel for their psychology, mentality, leadership ability etc. They're all alpha's (or better be), but you can only choose one of them. You certainly don't pick the one uncomfortable, insecure etc. You won't find your franchise QB in a guy with a fragile ego.

Nah Day one isn't in the books we are going to trade up for an OT.


No way.

Peters doesn't owe anyone in the Press any explanation of why the Commanders conducted their Top 30 visits the way they chose to do them. Above all else, reporters need stories every day - even if they must create them. That is what we have here.


Articles in New England now basically saying “Daniels won’t play for the Commanders “. Lol. Ok.

All true. But if Maye is more of an alpha than Daniels but Daniels is the better player, or vice versa, then it's moot point.

It does seem that many evaluators think Maye has the higher ceiling. If that is actually the case, then I hope he's the pick.

I'm not going to allow myself to be mad at the selection though, whoever it turns out to be.


Same. If they want Daniels they know what they're doing until they prove otherwise

If he's drafted by the Commanders, that's where he'll play or he can sit out a year at age 25 and re-enter the 2025 draft at age 26 and hope that nothing bad happens to his health in the meantime. Also, he won't receive the millions of dollars that he otherwise would have received from the Commanders while he waits. Does that sound like something he would want to do? The articles are New England fantasies.

That will probably be necessary if we want a Left Tackle who can start as a Rookie.

Really haven't delved into the QBS or any players, so I was surprised when you said Daniels was already 25. I'd think I'd prioritize Maye over him for that reason.

JD turns 24 in December.

The misinformation and speculation about these QBs, and the draft in general, is out of control. That's normal for this time of year. It's so hard to believe anything that is being reported these days, including the reports about JD being a lock to be the #2 pick.

Oops! I'm an old man, 76 I think, with a bad memory.

Nevertheless, if the Commanders draft JD I think he will play here. It makes little sense for him to do otherwise. If there is any show-stopping issue with him, then I feel the Commanders will either get it ironed out before the draft or go in another direction. I like the idea of JD as our QB but I'm on board no matter what they decide to do with the #2 pick.
