Commanders 2025 Offseason Thread

[That Guy]

gibbs 2 had 3-6 sack DEs and still had a great D (good back 7). Not saying its ideal, but it can still work if we're done adding players this year.

We can't be done. Unlikely to pick up a game changer at edge in remaining FA's but there is probably at least 1 guy that will be better than what's on the roster. Not seeing many moves for edge in UDFA which is a bit puzzling. Should be scouring for a diamond in the rough.

We just replaced Gonzalez with Matt Gay

I don't think they are ever done trying to improve the roster. I'm sure there will be several more additions in the coming months.

Until we get those missing pieces, we aren’t getting by the best in the nfc.

we will be the best in the nfc. the offense will rock, and our back 7 will be elite.

Hope this is correct, but I agree with 88 that more was needed on defense especially edge. There were opportunities to do so also. Those are far more limited now. Time will tell.

I doubt Peters is done but regardless no team has elite players at every position. Football is ultimately about the team, and I absolutely trust this team to be in sync from game 1.

Need an edge

[sdskinsfan2001]

We have an edge. His name is Jayden Fucking Daniels.

My goodness, we went to the NFC Championship game last year and all of the sudden not having an elite defensive edge (which we didn't have last year either) is going to tank our season.

Unless you don't like getting Tunsil (which I submit makes you insane) or getting Deebo (worth the risk imo, but I can see the argument against it), we had a fantastic draft.

Replace Deebo with an Edge pick available at that slot in the draft, I'd bet most of us would take Deebo.

Preach!

I don't think anyone would suggest we aren't in a good place or that we should 2nd guess the trades and picks at this point. For me, I'm disappointed we didn't address edge because we need much improved run D and the ability to pressure QB's. Ideally we trade back from #29, pick up one of the last quality edge guys and address OL with a lesser pick (even pick up Connerly later if he dropped?). But most likely the quality of trade wasn't up to what AP saw as value, and in that I'd trust him. Let's see what he can get with the remaining FA and UDFA pool.

Keep in mind 4 preferred edge rushers, including Jack Sawyer, went off the board literally right before our 4th round pick. if the Steelers took Sanders there, we probably take an edge. As it is Lane looks to be a steal for our team.

Bradyn Swinson was available for us in the 4th rd for an edge. 2nd team All-SEC, 8.5 sacks, 13 TFL last year. This was who I wanted in the 4th rd, so a talented edge was available. Peters went in a different direction.

Yup

I don’t have criticism of the draft, but we still need a pass rusher for the team at this moment. Certainly FA available or possibly an upcoming cut player would help.
