Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread

I was hoping they would take C Jones there, but it's becoming pretty clear that they don't feel as dire about the tackle position as we all do.

Overall, I've been pleased with the selections and moves made so far. Would have liked to get more OL but it is what it is. Hopefully they can make it up next years draft.

Dominique Hampton big and physical. Big hitter that also gets interceptions. Nice.

Interesting. Assuming Quan is now a safety full time we have a lot of safeties. With DFo and Percival being drafted by the previous regime I wonder if one of them is heading to the exit. Surprised when they passed on Austin Booker but they have a lot of bodies at DE right now. Wonder if we could get more than a bag of footballs for Phidarian Mathis.

Christian Mahogany the G from BC still out there.

A little surprising but shows again how out of touch with league thinking that the media actually are. Always lots of "highly rated" guys who seem to drop to the lower rounds. Assuming Ron wasn't drafting them of course.

I always thought that is how to do it .. when drafting need you can definitely over draft ! Maybe they do have a plan at tackle possible Trade Allen ? maybe that's why they drafted Newton .. who knows ? Only time will tell .. i'm trying to be optimistic!

It's refreshing having adults in charge who know what they are doing.

I don't think they'll trade Allen. Payne/Newton/Allen is going to be real tough to deal with on a rotation.

They’re not try to win the SB in one offseason, it’s all about a multi year process.

For what it's worth, if they win the Super Bowl this year I'll win $6,000 from BET MGM so I want them to try this year

On the new guy

Ben Standig
The Commanders selected Washington safety Dominique Hampton with the 161st pick.

@dpbrugler's No. 9 safety runs a 4.45 40-time. An "impressive size/speed athlete who diagnoses well from the zone and is an explosive striker as a tackler.

Surprising he is still there, yes. Could be a good or great value in the 6-7 round though. Hope he is there when we come around again.

Our interior offensive lineman are going to improve just by playing our DT’s in camp and practice everyday. It will good for them.
