OT: 2024 Washington Commanders thread: change we can believe in!

[Roric]

Hey guys I think we’ve found a solution to our QB dilemma

 

[ynotcaps]

On the bright side, that's 3 fewer people next season doing the stupid tomahawk chop -- fully digited, anyway.

Hey guys I think we’ve found a solution to our QB dilemma

Hell, I'd give up an 8th rounder in 2062 for Mac Jones.

 

[Roric]

Three more days until legal tampering and the leaks about who is going where come out. We will know a lot about the makeup of this team on Monday

 

[RedRocking]

I’d like to see them target Michael Onwenu in FA. He’s 26, and versatile - can play G or T. Not sure if Wylie is sticking around, so that would be a great replacement.

I’d also be fine overpaying for a couple years of Tyron Smith. He’s still good, PFF had him at 88.6 pass-blocking grade, good for best in league last season.

Even if we draft a T in 2nd/3rd, not sure I’d want a rookie protecting our new QB’s blind side. Or with T. Smith, we could wait to draft a new LT with our ‘25 1st.

Still throwing my hat in for ekeler

Still throwing my hat in for ekeler

I don't know why or who I merged him with in my head but it feels like Ekeler has been in the league for like 15 years.

I think he’d be great to pair with BRob replacing gibson in a 3rd down role, valuable check down guy for rookie QB when play breaks down/nothing is open. Especially as they try to rebuild the o-line you like those dump offs that can still lead to big gains. Plus having Lynn now who knows him and has had success with him is an added bonus

If he comes cheap, sure. He’d make a solid 3rd down back for Brob and a rookie QB to lean on.

For free agents the RB and Safety classes look great. I would be disappointed if we don't add with all our cap space.

Out of necessity if anything. A pass rusher is almost a requirement. Allow them to go true BPA and add studs to the roster in the draft.

This draft is super deep at OL and WR.

There are going to be some absurdly talented WR available in the 2nd. Guys like Mitchell, Franklin, Legette and McConkey all have serious upside.

 

[g00n]

NE definitely taking a QB.

I guess JAX think Jones will be a good backup to Lawrence, or something

 

[Jags]

So I guess the compensatory pick sequences are settled now... Not sure if this is news or just something my RSS feed threw at me late...

We pick at 2, 36, 40, 67, 99, 101, 138, 178, 222.

What a weird move. Have they lost faith in Pickett? Do they think RW is going to be a stable, mentoring backup or something?

Why did the Steelers quickly go from 'full faith' in Kenny Pickett to bringing in Russell Wilson?

Wilson will bring a short-term boost to the Steelers' offense, but his signing also raises a lot of questions about Pittsburgh's long-term QB plan.

I wonder if Tomlin is on the hot seat and bringing in a veteran QB removes the "developmental QB" variable from that equation.

[Neil Racki]

Curl - hopefully he gave us the chance to match whatever he is offered. If not, we def need to add a good FA safety.

Cowboys and 9ers FAs - I imagine we sign a few guys from each team (Clelin ferrell is going to be signed)

Eugene Chen - rumored to value the TE position .. Ertz here already but some talking heads suspect we draft a guy in the 2nd round. Appears only Noah Fant is top 100 FA at TE .. so good job gettign ertz for 5m but I dont think we can depend on that

LG - Would like one of the top FAs at LG. No clue what we do with LT as its a barren market but a good vet LG would do wonders.

NFL Top 100 2024 free agents: Chris Jones, Kirk Cousins top the list

Jaguars edge Josh Allen, Bengals WR Tee Higgins and Ravens DT Justin Madubuike round out top five.

I think they definitely soured on Pickett. I'll admit, I thought he would be a good one coming out of the draft, but he's been pretty bad for Pitt - I believe they benched him this past year. They definitely didn't sign Wilson to backup Pickett.

Hard to know for sure if it was KP or the OC that was fired. He got maybe a game and a half under the new OC before he was injured.

Peters was pretty adamant that they won’t be big spenders in free agency so I’d expect a few signings with maybe one splash signing but not much else. Think he’s going to be more focused on how to spend that sweet, sweet draft capital he has next month.
