My best guess who we take at 29

1. Nic Scourton DE
2. Emeka Egbuka WR
3. Shavon Revel CB
4. Donovan Ezeiruku DE
5. Nick Emmanwori Safety
6. Trey Amos CB

[quote=nonniey;1374200]You mean lowest 1st round with own pick, right? We have drafted lower in the first (We traded up to pick 30 in 1995 or 96?) and picked the greatest bust we ever had (OT Andre Johnson).[/quote]

Yeah. Whatever we had going into offseason; not any predraft trades.

6. Trey Amos CB[/quote]Scourton is a big end who is very athletic. He's also only 20 years old. He brings a great combination of run defense and pass rush.

I'm also interested in Jack Sawyer. Think we may even be able to trade down to get him. A monster against the run and solid pass rusher. His character, leadership and intangibles are top notch.

They may go offense
1. Omarion Hampton, RB
2. Treyveon Henderson, RB
3. Matthew Golden, WR
4. James Pearce, Jr., Edge
5. Josh Conerly, Jr., OT
6. Maxwell Hairston, CB
7. Trade Down

Trading down may be the best idea of all unless there is a guy they have to have. More likely to get impactful players. Giants and Browns already trying to trade down.

7 is my choice. Based on most I’ve read, this class has like 20 first round grade guys. Then 21-to like 55 are all close in grades. Depends on our flavor.

Hairston is interesting…who knows. Best Guard available? Maybe

If they take a RB, I think the fan base would be electrified because we would be taking another highly visible/ ball dominant offensive weapon.

Also it would be a nod from the front office that they are satisfied enough with the roster that we have the luxury of making that pick at this place in time. I secretly would love a RB pick at 29

I get the impression that the FO is looking for players who are explosive and can make game-changing plays.

I've read that they would love to have a complete three-down RB who is explosive. Both Hampton and Henderson run and catch the ball very well, are known for their excellent pass protection and they don't put the ball on the ground. Hampton is the bigger back and Henderson is the home run hitter of the two.

I also read that they would like to round out the WR group with a so-called "vertical slot" player. So they've spent more time with WR's who are quick and have blazing speed, such as Jayden Noel (4.39), and Tai Felton (4.37).

Re: Commanders 2025 NFL Draft Thread
 

It's almost here. Going to be a weird draft to watch, with only 1 pick in each of the 1st 2 days (outside of a trade-back).

I think it’s a 100% chance we come away with a RB this draft.

60% of the time, you draft a running back every time.

Sure hope not. Rodriguez and McNichols are underrated. We have a star running qb who is also a star passing qb. Much rather use picks other than a rb which we are solid at. We need more defense and oline.

I totally disagree with this post. They lack explosive plays and it's clear they want to upgrade from B Rob who simply does not supply that. One long TD run by Swift totally changed the Chicago game, they need a player who can turn around a game with one play. The rest are fine but this offense needs a real weapon that defenses need to account for.

I agree

Brob was a let down last half of the year, left yards on the field. He just doesn’t have the vision and he’s never had the speed.

With the threat of JD5 legs in the backfield…defenses have to key or at least dedicate a guy to that run responsibly on every play. There is a massive opportunity for a talented ball carrier alongside Number 5. There are big plays and yards available, we need an RB who can take advantage.
