Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread

Both likely would have been just fine if they played right away, especially PM

That argument is all hearsay because it's not solvable. Playing the what if game doesn't help.

You don't know that though. That's the entire point. THey were successful after sitting. Most of the QBs successful sat first for the most part. Either that or the ones that "succeed" are done once their running ability wanes around 31 years of age.

Bottom line, today is the money day. Daniels will be whatever Daniels is and I hope that he is amazing. But this draft will be graded based on the Sweat and Young trades and the players resulting from them.

I told a coworker yesterday I was pretty meh going into the first round…Friday is the night I was looking most forward too

I really think tonight is a major opportunity which could set up this franchise for years.

For us in the Snyder era, whether you played right away (Forbes) or didn’t play right away (Howell) made no difference in the end due to lousy team management and coaching

The ATL Pennix thing is pretty wild, just don’t get why you trade for Cousins and then immediately take his replacement instead of grabbing a WR for him

I get why they did it, Cousins is on the wrong side of 35 and coming back from a major injury. If it happens again they are set to move on. If it doesn't happen a good young qb gets to sit for 2-3 years and be ready when Cousins can't do the job anymore. Win-win.

The NFL is a 2 qb per team league now, rare are the qb's that can go year after year after year without some sort of injury. If you don't have a solid backup qb you're fucked.

Sounds about right. Not much mystery with regard to what we were doing last night. Tonight's decisions are uber important.

I think we agree a lot Mooby

On certain things absolutely :)

?????? You just said you disagreed with me saying don't reach for a player and then argued to not to reach for a player? You probably need to see the post I was responding to.

I'm paraphrasing here but I think you said it would be stupid to draft a player who can't contribute over one who can.

My argument is that even if Penix Jr doesn't contribute this year, him sitting and learning isn't a bad thing. And if Cousins does get hurt again they have a young developing qb to turn to.

Agreed. Even crazier that Cousins didn't know about it nor did Penix Jr. look thrilled when he got drafted. He is one of the older qbs in the draft. This pick is the most notable surprise to me so far in this draft.

This is completely speculative, but I've seen some video excerpts of what seems to be the Falcons GM explaining the decision to the owner (who did not seem happy about the decision).

Florio has his panties in a bunch over the Falcons and Penix, further evidence that the move was solid
