Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
I had hoped we would move up to get a top OT prospect. C'est la vie. I agree that one of DeJean or Kool-Aid would be a very likely pick at 36. We would get a starting quality CB which is a need.

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
The ATL Pennix thing is pretty wild, just don’t get why you trade for Cousins and then immediately take his replacement instead of grabbing a WR for him

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
Agreed. Even crazier that Cousins didn't know about it nor did Penix Jr. look thrilled when he got drafted. He is one of the older qbs in the draft. This pick is the most notable surprise to me so far in this draft.

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
This is completely speculative, but I've seen some video excerpts of what seems to be the Falcons GM explaining the decision to the owner (who did not seem happy about the decision).

The NFL is a 2 qb per team league now, rare are the qb's that can go year after year after year without some sort of injury. If you don't have a solid backup qb you're fucked.

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
and I do agree, we missed the top tiers of OT, so probably better to take the higher value at CB etc, and see if there's a trade or cut at OT somewhere along the way (or draft a lower tier prospect at some point and hope?).

FWIW, per JP Finlay:
"Peters says the Commanders made some calls about moving up late but there wasn't a fit as the draft board fell." |

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
Sounds about right. Not much mystery with regard to what we were doing last night. Tonight's decisions are uber important.

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
Florio has his panties in a bunch over the Falcons and Penix, further evidence that the move was solid

Of course Harbaugh moved up to take Ladd. He knows

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
I'm fine with the first of the two 2nd round picks. We got rid of some DL so we needed to restock on that area. Still need to see some OL though. Big time. However, isn't the interior already crowded with Payne/Allen?
No worries for us. We surely didn't need another WR.

Re: Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread
Top CB’s are still on the board.
