@Chinatown88 uhhhh I don’t think my Abdul Carter guess is going to happen.

I guess we’ll see soon enough but he’s apparently pushing 260 lbs. now & has maintained his speed/explosion.

Oh yeah, this is over. I thought he should have been in the top 10 discussion before that.

I don't even remember my guess.

Nvm I had Payton. I might win again

I gotta dig them up but some of the pictures of him coming out of camp next to their other DL it doesn’t really look like he was playing LB last year.

 

[Chinatown88]

We stan for Justin no matter what.

He’s been enraged.

Taking a QB at all is a sign of weakness. Slot in a running back, like noted OSU failure Justin Fields.

Fields...(extended sigh)...you had to pick that scab, didn't you?

2 CBs in the top 3? I like it.

It’s deep class for the defensive side of the ball. At least as of now heading into the season I think it’s fair to say EDGE, IDL, CB, & S are all noticeably higher in talent than your average draft class.

QB is also pretty up in the air too. I think Beck & Sanders are the guys people probably feel the most comfortable with right now. It just seems like most don’t think they’re like no doubt #1-3 type of talents like Williams & Maye were coming into last year for example. It seems like most discussion around the class has people clamoring for someone else in the field to emerge this year.

The draft guys are already pinning their high end hopes on Allar and Weigman breakouts. Beck and Sanders are good prospects. They just don’t look like they have jackpot outcomes right now.

It is approximately time for Stroud to remember his OSU origins and bomb out. Drop him from your fantasy teams.

WR3 Pog

This will be a boon for Mike McDaniel when he's HC next year.

 

[ponder719]

Hell yes. That's a massive get.

 

[Svechhammer]

I know why the Eagles would do this, the guy is good and just further stacks one of the best WR units in the league.

But why would Washington do this? And inside the division as well

Josh Harris owes us something after all the crap he put Sixers fans through.

He was possibly going to be cut.

 

[FatTugboatFlahr]

I like it.

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Can't believe they got him.

What an acquisition.

 

[BigToe]

He was possibly going to be cut.

Why?

 

[RockLobster]

Why?

From one of my best friends who's a BIG Washington fan (in all sports, he grew up in the area):

"I loved the draft pick, had a great rookie year, but was not good/outright bad last year. Hasn't been a good fit with the new staff, so far, this year. But was a 1st round pick for a reason. Sounded like when the Commanders brought in some competition in camp he didn't take the news all that well, seems like Quinn and Peters decided to just move on. If he can get his confidence back, he will be a good get"

 

[Hollywood Cannon]

Why?

Old regime's pick, his usage, rumors going around that it was a possibility.

Maybe all smoke and mirrors and nothing really to it but the talking point was out there.

Sounds like a lot of copium. The guy was their WR2 as recently as last season and they're trying to develop a rookie QB. I am sure there were differences in opinion but he was still going to be an important piece for them. This just smells like Washington being Washington incapable of getting out of their own way.

Nah, he's not a copium type of guy. If something is working, he calls it, if it's not, he calls it. For such a hardcore fan he calls it like he sees it. It sounds like there were big expectations for Dotson to take a big step last year, based off his rookie year, and it didn't really happen.

He's not saying that he sucks, he loved the pick, I remember watching that draft with him and he was clamoring for Washington to take Dotson and was ecstatic when they did.

Basically--in the time I've known him, he's never sugarcoated anything when it comes to his team(s), nor with myself and our other friend, who are massive Philly fans. He thinks we stole him, fwiw.

I really liked him as a draft eligible, but these deals rarely work out like fans expect. They needed depth though.
