Crazy. Fits my father to a T. Loved Whitesnake and Tawny. Has only smoked Marlboros and owned a Z28. He also wore white shirts with a jean jacket. Only wears jeans. Has dark hair, but not curly, and has always had a goatee. my mom has always had curly hair, but they’re divorced. I do not look like any of these kids.

I expect us to be at least .500 this year, possibly even 10 wins or greater. JD has a natural feel for the game, and we have FA's that have played with DQ previously and know what to expect from him. Our defense will keep us in games early on, and our offense will pick up in the later part of the year.

No need, we have Gallo

That's devastating. He was one of the all time greats in the industry. One my personal favorites. RIP Steve. 😭😭😭😭

This is where we need to spend next year--a big, .500+ SLG, mashing 1B/DH type. Overspend.

Our CBs are mostly a question mark that I see people bring up, but our safeties and LBers are such big improvements that I think it'll take a lot of pressure off of them. Sain and Quan seem pretty similar and can switch from CB to deep FS on any play. We have a ton of blitzers and our IDL should be fun to watch. We will not be an easy or fun team to play this year, win or lose. Offense is definitely more of a question mark and I'm not sure if anyone is too high on Kliff. I'm still out on him. I'm extremely high on Lynn though, so if we need to be a ground and pound offense while Daniels comes up to speed, so be it. I'm excited to watch a rookie QB be treated like a rookie QB and an offense called by adults.

Overall, I'm extremely happy with this draft under Adams Peters. Infinitely better than any draft under Ron Rivera or even other previous regimes. It's impossible to address every single glaring need in a single draft......I'm happy they didn't give up the farm of current and future potential for a LT this year. The trade with philthy clearly appears to be beneficial to us, on paper at least. We'll see when the real games start. I do feel like we are being run by competence again and that in itself is a HUGE win for us, even if it doesn't show up on the field right away. But I honestly have a good feeling about this upcoming season and we will make huge strides this year.

Agree. They clearly backed their talk as to creating a physical identify. And wanted dudes who can be violent manning the flat. And Quinn likes to move chess pieces around and do some exotic blitzes. And he has some weapons now to do that. Netwon is physical and is a baller. Magee with a 90 plus pass rushing grade with 5 sacks. Hybrd defender type. Hampton ditto a physical oversized safety. Sanstril albiet a small dude is a good blitzer and physical tackler. This is after already adding Chinn who is a good bltizer and Luvu who is one of the better pass rushing LBs in the league. Quan Martin already on the roster isn't a big dude but he's also physical and a good blitzer. They clearly want safeties and LBs who they can keep on the field and are tone setters. And they already mentioned they plan to use Jamin more closer to the line of scrimmage. So it feels like they want to use their LBs and safeties to create mismatches and chaos. And wow are both positions deep now. McCaffrey is one of the more physical and better contested catch WRs in that last draft. Sinnott is one of the better blockers and is physical with the ball in his hands. And we already have Robinson who is a physical back and Gonzalez. Daniels isn't a thickly built QB but he's a baller and competitive. To me the identity that they are building is clear as heck.

Agree with everything you just said. I love that it's a priority and they've done a lot to address it, without forcing it. That's one of the biggest differences from the last few years. There is patience in the build being done correctly.

I wouldn't be shocked if Senzel is traded 1st this year. 1 year and $2M deal. Someone making a run will need an OF and are willing to overspend in a trade if he continues to get his average up and hits more dingers.

Probably why they're "examining" and not "charging."

Feels that way to me. Good shot at a franchise QB at #2 Likely stud DT Likely stud CB Good shot that we got at least a Cooley level TE-HB Coleman -- my guess is above average guard -- complete wildcard at LT Luke McCaffrey -- good chance he's a good 3rd Wr. After that it might just be purely special teams players (which is fine for 5th-7th round) but will see. Magee -- profiles as a stud special team player at worse, at best is we got another hybrid Chinn --S-LB type Hamption -- same as Macgee Jean-Baptise-- I like him more than what i saw from Henry and Jones' college tape. Good roll of the dice edge player The Colorado state CB and Georgia WR are too of my fav UDFAs that I can recall in a long time. This feels like it could be a franchise changing draft. And I know that sounds like a homer but my take is consistent with the draftniks and leaks from scouts, etc. So its not just from the perspective of a Washington fan. So I am feeling good right now. But like any draft you don't know until you know. As for the comps to Ron at O line. Major differences IMO. Ron did hardly anything in FA last year aside from overpaying for a maligned RT and overpaying for a lowgrade center. And then drafted an undersized sub 300 LT with the lowest wonderlic score at that position. I liked the Stromberg pick but he's a solid player IMO not a stud. I like Biadaz way over Wylie. I like Allegreti way over Gates. They signed Michael Deiter who is a solid backup G-C. And I like Coleman's chances well over B. Daniels. Coleman is built in a lab for that spot. Daniels is a tweener. Night and day. Look, I wanted more at the O line. But they made much more progress this year IMHO versus Rivera did last year. And heck its good to know its hot on their to do list considering they tried to trade up to get one. So I suspect they will still make another signing down the road. They need to do more but they clearly know that. I was big on Mims notwithstanding durability concerns. I liked Morgan but more as a guard. Loved Barton but more as a guard. That next tier of tackles -- Kinglsey, Fisher, Rosengarten, Coleman, Paul all brought different flavors but all of them had some boom-bust.

He's a mid round pick for a reason. All these guys have flaws the longer you watch them. Latham and Alt are the most clean in my eyes followed by Fashanu and Fuaga.

You add Young, Lipscomb, Adams, Garrett and Senzel and Thomas if they aren’t traded, then you don’t need to dip into FA on the position side. If Morales needs more seasoning, you could put Hassell at 1B.

It depends on what they said about it internally. Eg, if outwardly they were saying 2017 but internally they thought 2025, that would be fraud. But if they were saying it internally and outwardly then fraud is much harder to prove. Being wrong isnt fraud.

After years of just absolutely tanking the 2nd round choices, we may have 3 big hits this year.

Anyone been to Santorini? My wife and I will be there for two days in a couple weeks. We've got a spare afternoon and would love a "make sure you do this one thing while you're there" recommendation.

I'd go as far as saying if i went to Vegas and bet on one player from this draft succeeding its Sainstril. I was big on Terry McLaurin before that draft, and he didn't get a lot of love here. And part of the rational for me about Terry was he was billed as a very special player, uber tough and a culture setter. Sainstril is billed the same way, actually if anything he's more hyped than Terry on that front. I've heard to death from Keim in his podcasts that the secondary didn't have a communicator that helps direct others and the coaching staff would bemoan that. Not much leadership with the team but especially on D. We didn't have a ballhawk type on defense. You basically cover all of this and more with Sainstril. Then you add in spite of his size he's good against the run which is helpful when you are playing the slot and is a good blitzer which is also helpful playing from the slot -- especially in Quinn's defense. This player studies so much film that its been said that he would call out the opposing's offense plays for the rest of the defense presnap -- ala what a good old school Mike LB does.

If all goes well, 2025 looks like: Abrams SS Hassell LF Crews CF Wood RF House 3B Morales 1B Garcia 2B Ruiz C That would be entirely home-grown starting cast, with a boatload of money to spend.
