Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread

They went by their board and grabbed guys they liked. My personal opinion was the TE/WR were reaches, but these are their guys and they did the work and filled 2 important spots.

My hope is Coleman is a tackle as opposed to guard. Ben Standig says the plan is LT which is great.

Everyone needs to remember, 12 tackles were taken in the first and second round. Teams will be cutting some tackles to make room for the new guys. We will have the ability to fill in holes after the draft.

Is there a hard hat avatar, because the sky is literally falling in here 24/7.

Since the season ended, we have improved every single position group, with maybe one exception - OT. I wanted the next TW too, but it didn't fall that way.

This team is so much better than it was 5 months ago.

Love it.

I'm enjoying how we talked about how deep we are at DT and then they take a DT with the first pick in the second round.

But if that kid grows up to be the next Allen or Payne (aka similar/better production while also reducing their heavy snap count) it will be entirely worth it.

Phidarian Mathis' and his fat ass should be sweating heavy right now. Time to earn your roster spot my guy.

I forgot to add, they mentioned when he was taken that Allen/Payne played like 80% of the snaps last year. Next highest guy was John Ridgeway with like 30% of the snaps, and everybody else was under 20%. Those numbers aren't sustainable, we need depth that can rotate in/out on the regular.

I love love love the Ben Sinnott pick. Some say we over drafted, but when this dude bails out JD on 3rd and long all season, people will lose their minds. By far my favorite non QB pick.

This and Sainristil are getting rave reviews everywhere, I haven't seen anybody saying an ill word about either yet. People were calling Sainristil the best player on the best defense in college football last year.

Not gonna lie it feels good to have a GM that can pick these guys in the 2nd/3rd. I'm excited already.

I'm just gonna leave this here.


Y’all talking bout “it wasn’t a need”. Bruh. We won 4 games last year. Everything is a need. Be for real. Please. I’m begging y’all.

Great draft so far!

Wish we didn't trade back with the Eagles, who took DeJean, but we got two extra 2nd round picks. I think Coleman has a real shot to start at LT week 1. We needed a TE, so I don't think Sinnot was a reach. His game reminds me of Dallas Clark, Cooley, Heath Miller.

Yes, the true grade of this draft will be in a year or three. Not today or yesterday.
I think some of the naysayers here would have slit their wrist during Bobby Beatherds best drafts back in 1981 - 1986. Nobody knew the names of people like Monte Coleman, Darryl Grant, UDFA Jeff Bostic and UDFA Joe Jacoby.
More recently Brock Purdy of SF comes to mind. This is not an exact science and anyone picked anywhere can become a HOF.
Let’s let the cake bake before we…..
Some talk like their player evaluations today of players that have never played in the NFL is set in stone.

I like the draft so far. Coleman is listed as a T by the team. Look at pictures/measurables/test scores, he definitely has the physical attributes. Him and Sinnot were 2 guys I wanted after Round 1.

Newton was a 1st round talent. I'll never get mad with going BPA with a trench player. BPA, not reaching like with Mathis.

Is this opinion good enough for y'all?

"I LOVE... there's a difference between love and LOVE... I LOVE this guy. This guy may be the best football player pound-for-pound in the draft." - Nick Saban on Michigan CB Mike Sainristil, selected by the Commanders at No. 50.

A lot to like about this draft so far… don’t really get the negativity by some although the haters seem to be in the minority

Cooley was the comparison that immediately came to my mind when I first saw Sinnott. It won't be long before we all love this player.
