Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread

[nonniey]

OK guess it will be an hour or two before we finish of the round with our next pick. Be back then.

Well now that the big picks are done, I am quite underwhelmed to say the least. A moron could have picked Jayden, and the rest? Unless I am wrong and I sure hope I am. I see a lot of low floor, low ceiling players. High end backups or average starters or rotational pieces. How many starters do you see outside of Jayden?

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!

Literally 4

Jayden- Starting QB
Newton- Can definitely be a staring DT, had a top 20 grade by multiple experts
Sinnot- I mean look at our TEs then look at his tape
Mike S.- We dont have a nickel corner, havent had a good one since Fuller in 2017, and he was the best one in the draft

Coleman is the only non immediate starter or someone who could start if need be so far

Agreed.

There were better corners and guards available.

I guess they didn't see it that way.

They will. There were better wr’s available too. That last pick was a huge reach. I don’t think these players are bad but they are taking them too soon. Corner, G, WR. All head scratchers

[Meks]

The draft reads to me... like it will be a pass heavy, RPO and quick read game like 2012. Pray for JD5.

The Corner was rated slightly higher than we took him so not a reach. Some assessments have Sinnot in the 50 range some have him lower - so I'll say a minor reach.

[nonniey]

I think the one big error they made on day 2 was Drafting Sinnot where they did. Given no other TE was picked until a full round later I think Sinnot could have been picked up at pick 67 which would have allowed us to get a better tackle at pick 53.

As always only time will tell but as things stand now I feel like there were better players available at at least 3 of the picks today who also filled more pressing needs. Cooper Dejean should be a commander. I hated that trade. And they BETTER upgrade at OT in the next round of FA or they better play their backup qb this year.

^^^ agreed its not looking good at all for the o line.. everyone holding their collective breath right now.. putting down the peters Kool aid for a few months til it all either does or doesn't come to fruition. I like the outlook for the defense, and the offense minus the o line. It's starting to look like fools gold....... ..... again.

But like you said time will tell. We just cannot fucking have a o line like last year and there just has NOT been a significant upgrade or even CHANCE at a real change yet.

We probably won't have an O-Line as bad as last year when we had only one capable player (Cosmi) now we have three (hopefully) so it should be moderately better.

[That Guy]

I would have probably not done the trade and taken a CB and OT, but until we see them play (and the people they passed on), I'm not going to be super harsh. I feel like they do need to do something at OT (trade or sign someone else's cut). Not a huge fan of instant draft grades. Our roster was bad; if our 2's aren't contributing meaningfully at some point this year, then this draft was a miss.

(for awareness, after the top of the 2nd I haven't watched much prospect tape this year)
