Commanders News thread

For those who are more conservative... yes, others, not at all. For me, I think that they are still digging out of the massive talentless hole that Rivera left for them so, "overpay" is a necessary component.
I started to write about this in a new thread, but since you've asked, this is not yet a fully functional organization because of the previous group. They can't be more heavily reliant on the draft because they have a QB on a rookie deal and the "talent" around him was simply not good enough to be competitive.
Here's a look at their first draft...

• Jayden Daniels: Quarterback from LSU, selected second overall in the first round
  
  
• Ben Sinnott: Tight end from Kansas State, selected 53rd overall in the second round
  
  
• Mike Sainristil: Defensive back from Michigan, selected 50th overall in the second round
  
  
• • Luke McCaffrey: Wide receiver from Rice, selected 100th overall in the third round
  • Jordan Magee: Linebacker from Temple, selected 139th overall in the fifth round
  • Brandon Coleman: Guard from TCU, selected 67th overall in the third round
  • Dominique Hampton: Safety from Washington, selected 161st overall in the fifth round
  • 
    
  • So, I ask you and everyone else, what were they supposed to do with that? Sorry, they had to fill the gaps with veterans, and still do, sometimes "overpaying" for the privilege, until that drafted/ free agent balance is switched around. To that end, I'll ask this... is it possible that AP as I am not overly enamored with this draft class? Wouldn't that explain his ease with using draft capital via trades?
  Sorry for the long response, but as I stated this was supposed to be part of my annual review.

i have said something similar. You forgot Newton.. just bustin your chops. thanks for the response.

Correct,
postscript: add Newton to the 2024 draft.

Not much difference in Moore, and Robinson compared to LT? cmon man. you are really reaching now. Anohter example on how you are bashing LT.

Sorry but there is little difference. PFF follows

Laremy Tunsil overall 76.5, pass blocking 88.6, run blocking 73.6, 19 penalties, and 2 sacks.
Jaylon Moore overall 74.9, pass blocking 73.2, run blocking 70.1, 0 penalties, and 1 sack.
Cam Robinson overall 64.7, pass blocking 70.4, run blocking 59.9, 13 penalties, and 7 sacks.

Moore did play only 1/4 the snaps of Tunsil but Moore is 27 years old and LT is 30.

Again, it is not bashing to state an actual fact.

I wonder if skinsdad and gk are reading this. lol

That is a single metric. I have seen it and admit his pass blocking can be very good. Another metric you refuse to acknowledge is the league worst 19 penalties. Penalties kill drives.

You also don’t look at why the Texans gave him up. Tunsil was the one decent player on a horrible OL. Below is an article giving you three reasons the Texans got rid of Tunsil, he wants a new contract, he is aging and his best days are behind him, and he doesn’t fit the culture (extremely concerning). I respect Demeco Ryans and Ryans wants dawgs. Well, if you want a cultural change and you want dawgs, then Tunsil is obviously not a dawg.

Tunsil was also destroyed by Trey Hendrickson and destroyed by multiple KC Chief pass rushers in the playoff loss.

of course but if we are competing for super bowls i would not complain.

Trading picks for veterans is what you do to get over the hump to a Super Bowl dean , not the newest version of being the steelers

I am and I say you can draft it . Now lattimore , so far is a miss , jury is out on deebo , tunsil is an overpay in picks .

If you gave up a 2nd or 3rd for tunsil then this is a completely different conversation, but it cost 3 more picks and a lesser value swap

we were not getting Tunsil for a 2nd or 3rd rounder. One pick? are you serious? Again, you don't believe he is a talented LT. If you think anything over this was an overpay then you don't value, the need at left tackle this year for this team.
