Commanders 2024 NFL Draft Thread

Very concerned about the o-line, for another year. With a small.. run very close first....

rookie qb.

Not ideal.

I would expect Cooper DeJean or Kool Aid with next pick. Maybe Keon Coleman or Junior Colson at 40.

Thing is, OT are always overdrafted, especially when there is a danger of a run on the position. If they wait for value at OT they wont get one. In a perfect world they could take DeJean at 36 and trade down from 40 to select Suamaetiea (?) or Paul in the 50s. But they will probably have to take one of them at 40. They will likely also need to take one of Fischer/Rosegarten/ Amegadjie/Wallace high in the third. If you ascribe to the more picks is more chances philosophy, which is not neessarily wrong, then you need to draft multiple OT in the hope at least one will turn out to be a decent starter.
You never want to go into a draft desperate for an OT.

I trust Peters - assuming we take a tackle at some point (to develop) I think he will make the necessary moves to bring in someone he trusts to hold it down for the next year at least.

I also think there's a huge disconnect from the way teams operate and the way fans think. Every year I see a lot of "we need to take OT/CB/etc with the next pick because it's such a huge need" but what if all the tackles available at our next pick have lower round grades on them? Teams operate by going off their draft board, if you can get a player with a first round value in the 2nd you take them. There is room for an upgrade everywhere on this roster so I'm not concerned about taking a player at a position we already have an established starter.

So they won't get one. It would be stupid to draft a player that can't contribute over a player that could.

My concern w/ Daniels is will be hold up? And will they protect him? I don't really like Kingsberry's offense because all I saw was a wr heavy offense that didn't seem to put an emphasis on protection or a te. Never saw the QB make checks at the line. Maybe I'm wrong as I did not see a lot of Cards games. But I watched that in season Hard Knocks and just wasn't impressed. Too much college shit w/ just a clap at the line. We have simply got to protect this kid.

Otherwise to me he is a better to much better prospect than Hurts.. or Dak. Just hope they do everything they can make sure he is successful. I really want them to get a complete TE, a true Y, not a tweener which seems to be what we have been drafting.

Agree, stick to the board and if a first round graded player falls to you at 36, take him


Absolutely do not fucking reach for a tackle.

At the end of the day all of these guys are not complete QB's. In college a lot of guys are not even asked to read the entire field. What I like is Daniels kept getting a lot better. He is still nowhere near a finished product.

So they won't get one. It would be stupid to draft a player that can't contribute over a player that could.

I disagree. Look at Penix Jr - he gets to sit and learn from a good qb and if that good qb who never got injured until last year gets injured again they will have a good rookie in there to take his place.

Not saying we should draft a DT when we already have two good players on big money deals, but I'm not gonna question Peters. You draft the guy you think has the best chance to succeed in the NFL, not the position you need the most. Look at the 2021 qb class - that class has mostly turned out to be ass and even Trevor Lawrence isn't a stud and he's the only one left with his original team.

Note the date - me and Chico agreed on something :laughing2

I don't want a tackle if all the tackles left are graded terribly. Peters will do what he needs to do to shore the position up. Yes drafting is ideal but it doesn't always work the way you want it to.
