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.

Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
Quote:
Nobody is saying it isn’t better than it was (seemingly). What we are saying is it could be even better (seemingly). There is a difference. Lol. Not hating on any of the picks per say - they will all hopefully and eventually contribute, but man Cooper was there for the taking. Also I feel like he took McCaffrey because of his relationship with his brother and there were some other wr’s there , more than a few, who were rated higher. Newton is an absolute beast. Almost had to take him at 36. Daniels was obviously the pick at 2. Sansriti is a ball hawk but small and not Dejean. Sinnott is a good blocker and an instant upgrade. Definitely not hating. I would have stuck with Cooper and would have taken another wr. That is all. |

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
cbs sports picked washington as the winner of day 2, not that any instant grades really mean anything, but some people covering this stuff weren't nearly as down on it. They really liked the TE (as a player/prospect) too.
kiper called WC day 2 winners as well, only thinking the WR was a reach. so for whatever that's worth. |

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
Seems like they went bpa so it is what it is. Just wish there was a day one starting o-linemen in there, but they did grab a te. Only time will tell.

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
Bringing our roster up to playoff caliber is a 2 year project, so bpa choices after round 1 make sense. But protecting JD is an immediate need. I don’t see Bobby Johnson as a guru who can turn our jags into solid performers, so AP/DQ must have a plan, other than going with max protect sets. My guess is they’re targeting someone’s expendable B grade LT

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
Well Peters has certainly stuck to his plan so far.
He stated very early on that he was going to build the roster from the inside out. So the fact that he has almost completely ignored WR, CB and OT should not be a surprise. Even the CB and WR picks are slot guys.

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
I may be on my own here, but while I don't love it, I like the draft and love a couple of the picks. JD (duh!), Newton and Sinnott. The rest are solid but not spectacular picks. My suspicion is they're looking at shipping Allen out and he'll be bait for an LT trade, after they couldn't trade up. Some of those that took LT's in rd 1 now have something of a surplus (Jets?) so will be looking to adjust post draft. Given they tried to trade back up into rd 1 but couldn't get a bite, they know full well that LT is a concern. But there's time to put a stop gap in place before camp, and look to the 25 draft to fill that gap long term.

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
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.
