Commanders 2025 Offseason Thread
 

Gotta beef up the OL/DL for sure.

OL:

- Draft or sign a left tackle
- Move Coleman to LG
- Tyler Biadasz at C
- Draft a RG (in case Cosmi isn't ready and we need depth anyways)
- Draft or sign a right tackle

DL:

- We need a true DE1 that can set the edge and rush the passer
- Start Newton
- Trade Allen or Payne
- Draft another DT and keep some of the depth guys

Re: Commanders 2025 Offseason Thread
 

Agree on the DLine needs. IMO it is the biggest need on defense. We need DE's that can set an edge in the running game while still rushing the passer. And DT's that can occupy blockers. Allen is as good as gone as he is expensive and not worth the $$$ he is due. Unfortunately Payne is still going to be here for 1 more season as his contract makes it hard to move on from. They both need to be replaces. The whole Dline does!

OL
Edge
DL
Secondary
TE
WR-2
RB
K
LB

All of these areas need help, and yet this team went to the NFC CHAMPIONSHIP game. Yeah, JD-5 should win MVP.

AP will put enough pieces in place to make us Superbowl winning contenders. We almost are now.
He can draft BPA outside of QB and we have enough cap space to go get a couple real difference makers and resign who we need to. If AP plays his cards right we will actually start a season with Superbowl aspirations for the first time in over 30 years.

Re: Commanders 2025 Offseason Thread
 

Resign Chinn, Noah I., D. Brown, Way and maybe Wagner

Find some players in FA - target Oline and #2 WR (limited options tho).

Go BPA in the draft

I would love to see Mariota resigned as well.

I think that's pretty much a guarantee that is happening.

Only if he wants to. He may want to go somewhere; where could be a short term starter.

Re: Commanders 2025 Offseason Thread
 

I think my view is different than many. Our defense is really bad. We were the worst defense of all playoff teams and gave up kike 500 yards in every playoff game after playing a whole season in the scheme. I am not a fan on depending on fantom turnovers on defense as a consistent way to win defensively. Perhaps our scheme is an issue. To me almost every position on defense needs an upgrade, although I like Luvu, and maybe Sanrisil, but he should be in the slot. Giving up 10 yard chunks any play a decent team wants and hoping we can consistently pull off comeback miracles is not sustainable. Hell, in a normal season, winning 2-3 games that way is the sign if an elite qb, I think we had 6 of em. Long term you gotta look at the law of averages. VI hate to say it, but the Eagles with a top defense is guaranteed to be in every game because of it. I dont see a one more year build, it is a couple as our squad is quite average ither than McLauren and Daniels. What happens if Daniels gets injured? Sheesh. We need a rock solid defense and a solid oline. That describes the team that will force us to be wild card contenders for the next 3+ years, unless we can somehow duplicate their squad. Remember all the posts in August about this being a 3 year build. A miraculous season does not alter our roster needs. Remember 5 straight years of 1st/2nd round draft flops that were supposed to be our pro bowler core. They dont exist. I mean Hail and all for this year for sure, but to build a contender, it usually takes years vs a fluke SB win (which has happened a few times, usually with defense)

If we re-sign D. Brown, I think you could essentially run the same offense back, outside of adding a new LG and RT, or moving Coleman to LG and getting 2 new OT's (likely sign one and draft one).

That leaves a lot of draft picks and FA money to throw at the defense. No team will have a perfect 22. We can definitely have a way more complete team after just this offseason imo.

I like your idea!

Re: Commanders 2025 Offseason Thread
 

To fully rebuild, it will take 2 more years. You can’t fill our needs this offseason but we can move closer. 2026 we get those final pieces.

We might actually slip to 10-7,11-6 due to people having tape on Jayden now and our opponents will be tougher. At least on paper.

Re: Commanders 2025 Offseason Thread
 

We need speed at WR and RB

Depends on who is available and if we like them better than Brown price wise and talent wise.

Yes though I agree. On Offense it is all about the line. 5 makes all the weapons better than they are.
