Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread

Like everyone else I was a bit disappointed that they were not able to find a legit OT in a draft that was deep at OT. I do not believe Coleman will play at tackle. But this OL did improve already and is not as bad as so many believe. The change at center can not be understated, it's a key position regarding pass pro and they went from bad to really good there. They also went from terrible to OK at LG, even better if Coleman pans out there. Howell also made the OL look far worse than it actually was, we saw what a difference Brissett made when he played.

When they went DT at 36 I was happy to see they were really drafting BPA and this is a really good prospect. Ron would have absolutely reached for a tackle and ended up with another JAG.

Sainristil is the most intriguing pick to me. He is a player no doubt and will be a fan favorite. But boy at that size you better have Darrell Green speed and he does not. I didn't see a lot of tape on Sinnott and people seem to rate this pick highly. But from what I saw I didn't see the athlete his combine numbers suggest, I didn't see quick change of direction when he runs patterns and I question if he can get open in the NFL But clearly those in charge no more than I do so I'll trust their judgement as this was clearly a big need.

These last 4 posts are solid and demonstrate that sanity and reason are returning to the fan base.

The trackers giving out grades are so much BS and can drive you crazy. What I especially trust in our new management is that they are finding good kids who punch above their stat sheets

We got some great college players with a lot of potential. While the OL situation scares me I like they players they picked after watching the highlights of each. Definitely a lot of potential. Reels are reels, I get it, but back when they drafted chase @ #2 I found myself less impress with his "best film package" than I was with some if these players.

Kool aid us getting stronger as the off season progresses lmao.

Agree 100%. Highlights are Highlights. A lot of potential; only time will tell. However, what gives me optimisim are the talent evaluators we have now. (Peters, DQ, etc) run laps around the past regime.

This can be discussed elsewhere, but Rivera, Mayhew, Hurney drafted a lot of misses, especially in the 1st round. (Young, Davis, Forbes, & then trading up for a LS Cheeseman.)

We all know that we can look back 4 years and laugh at the grades teams receive right after the draft. That's what makes this so fun, like everything else in sports we really do not know what will happen.

But getting such grades across the board is certainly not a bad thing. And I think we can all agree they have really good decision makers picking the players. So even if all these picks we like don't pan out the future here is very very bright IMO.

New Owner, Top GM, super bowl head coach, top QB prospect, solid D line , added D help , solid Wr.. added TE .. i'm optimistic !

Spring is Kool Aid season.

This is pretty wild - tells you what Peters values.

I really like Jer'Zhan Newton. This description suits him well, "He has shock in his mitts to jolt blockers. He mixes up his moves to generate sacks/pressures, routinely employing a violent club/swim and a quick-swipe maneuver. He also incorporates a Houdini-like move where he sticks his hand out and gets OTs to lunge at it before pulling it away and clearing the block."

Illinois fan here. Have watched Newton his whole career.

Johnny Newton is possibly my favorite player of all time.

Great kid on and off the field. A super hard worker.

He was literally the highest rated DT by PFF over the last few years. The kid was disruptive on both offense and defense, and there were times he was being triple teamed. only player I've ever seen get triple teamed.

He is a great pass rusher, incredibly fast and athletic (was a RB in high school), and doesnt take plays off.

Easily the best player on the field in every game he played this season. A real stud.

If he stays healthy, and I think he will, Newton is going to be the steal of this draft.

We needed 5 starters out of our 6 round 1-3 picks, we got 1. Here's the positive part. I think we finally got a franchise QB!

Newton will be a starter for you guys.
