Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread

[Defensewins]

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?

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

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.

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.

I like it.

Well, three picks today (two 5s and a 7). Don't really care what position as these will be development picks.

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.

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.

Wondering if Ridgeway is in trouble, as he was at Dallas, yet we spend our most precious pick, other than QB, on a DT. Dan Quinn knows Ridgeway very well I would think. Also, LT roster cuts? Like who would do that? Maybe pick someone off a practice squad. And whoever said we improved at every position is ignoring many spots, LT, DE, outside CB, backup QB, strong safety, c'mon, we have not improved these all.

This was my favorite pick yesterday.


My biggest surprise wasn’t waiting on a tackle, but we didn’t draft an edge.

Definitely agree with adding more size with the receivers this offseason with Ertz, McCaffrey and Sinnott.

We're gonna need to dig up this thread in about 3 years or so because guaranteed some of these qb's are gonna be ass.

T think were they go and the systems they are put in is half the reason for success or failure. Imagine Brady or Purdy being drafted by the Redskins neither would have got a chance and they would have faded into history.

Call me a hater. We had 2 objectives, get a QB, good job. Get a starting LT, or at least starting after a few games. FAIL. So yes, I am pissed. The rest of the picks can be argued on merit, but we failed the prime directive.

[Meks]

I just can't stomach the idea of going into another season of rookie qb + shitty o line combo again. Hoping for the best.

We improved at DE thru FA. Hopefully we find a S in 5-7. Peters has a habit of getting great value on late secondary picks. Backup QB? I mean Mariota is an ok backup. Corners will hopefully be helped with scheme and coaching… i have my doubts about BSJ. LT seems to be a major issue but who knows. It certainly is a better roster than last year. Isn’t as doom and gloom as you seem to think. Not as rosy as others think. We are not competing for a championship in 2024 most likely. However Rome wasn’t built in one draft.

My main concern is protecting JD through year one. Anyone who says they aren’t concerned about that is fibbing. Lol
