Some teams have an embarrassment of riches. If we want to get to that point, we have to avoid trading away future draft picks for the "now".

If Newton shows that he is capable of making an impact, then the coaches will find a way to play him. He's going to push Allen and Payne - they might benefit from fewer snaps, but they aren't going to want to see the new guy show that he's better than them.

I hear you. Was the trade worth the players we passed on for the players we got? If we are debating that over the next three years, then we will have slipped back into mediocrity. Let's hope that all of the picked players are productive.

Maybe we are going to run 2TE sets to protect the OTs

I want a WR and OL

About the size of Darell Green

Omg. Would these guys just give the pick

What?

Ok. Let's do this. Work your magic Peters

The draft never goes exactly as forecast but most of us assumed that the top tier OTs would be picked clean before the Commanders' next pick at 36. It is what it is. The good news is that there are some OTs still available, plenty of WRs and CBs. 2nd Round Options - a few will be gone before 36, or selected by other teams at 37-39 OT - Kinglsley Suamataia - Patrick Paul - Blake Fisher - Kiran Amegadjie WR - Adonai Mitchell - Keon Coleman - Ladd McConkey - Troy Franklin CB - Cooper DeJean - Kool-Aid McKinstry - Kamari Lassiter - TJ Tampa - Mike Sainristil Pick 2 out of this list. I think we will be fine.

Of course not. "A source in Washington" could be me.

That's been the collective extremeskins' wisdom for some time now. Friday will be interesting

We have five picks in rounds 2-3. We can hit the obvious positions and still get a Guard as BPA.

Poor talent evaluation and poor coaching is a lethal combination. We will be better. There is always the possibility that another player winds up being better than the one we picked. Even so, if our pick winds up being very good then will be fine.

The pundits have knit-picked the QBs to death. Now they are trying to match up their last-minute projections with the soon-to-be reality. The top 3 QBs all have the potential to be very good. I don't care which one is best able to hit the ground running - I want a franchise QB who will be with the team for ten years (so we never pick #2 again). If Klingsbury is any good, he will develop an offense that matches the skill set of whichever QB is selected. I'm not going to lie though - JD will give me heartburn if he's tossed around like a ragdoll (RG3 flashbacks).

Rome wasn't built in a day and OT, WR and CB are all, arguably, "needs" just like EDGE and TE. So, we should take advantage of the quality available at these positions instead of reaching for for EDGE or TE. Still, I want to be excited about the picks in the first 100 - no more of the "what the heck" or "he must have a plan because I don't see it".

I would like to get inside Peters' head. Did he want to move up with the Howell trade instead of taking multiple lower round picks (of equal point value)? If so, trading down to pick up a 4th might be pointless. I'd consider it a success if we can find legitimate value players at OT, WR and CB in rounds 2 and 3. We have five picks - I'll add G and then most any other position. I do not like the Profootball Network mock (Joshia Caldwell): 2nd Round 36 - Max Melton CB - OK, but Suamataia OT gets taken at pick 37 40 - Zach Frazier C - why? The following players are picked by other teams after pick 40: Ricky Pearsall WR, Jordan Morgan OT, Ladd McConkey WR, Patrick Paul OT, Cooper Beebe G, Kiran Amegadjie OT. There are a number of CBs that are picked lower in round 2 3rd Round 67 Adisa Isaac Edge - OK. We miss out on Ben Sinnott TE, Cade Stover TE, Dominich Puni G, Roman Wilson WR. 78 - Trey Benson RB - NO!!! Bralen Trice Edge was still available, Mike Sainristil CB, Ja Tavion Sanders TE, Malachi Corley WR, Troy Franklin WR, and plenty of other WRs lower in round 3. 100 Trevin Wallace LB - Hmmm A trade down from #40 to the mid 50s would net a 3rd round in the mid 80s. But, the players that are still available at #40 in his mock would be difficult to pass on. I could get players I want in round 3 simply by using pick 78 on something other than RB. We will know next Friday.

Will this be the first year that the NFL does not break for a commercial before we pick?

Peters will have the flexibility to do what is best. I'm not concerned about bypassing the 4th round though. Picks #36 and #40 might net first round talent at some position. If so, I'm not going to trade down for 2nd round talent + a 4th round talent. Pick #67 could net 2nd round talent, so again, it's a keeper IMO. Let's say picks 78 and 100 are legitimate round three. If I hold onto #78, I'm are more likely to get the particular player who fits need and ranking.

2nd: Jordan Morgan, Arizona, OT 2nd: Darius Robinson, Missouri, EDGE So, you would prefer to pass on Morgan and Robinson to get Fashanu? I notice you didn't select any WRs in your mock draft. There might be some WRs available at 40 that are as highly rated as Robinson. It's hard to say who would fit best in their plans since we don't have any idea of the defensive scheme.

Why would there be any incentives for a football HQ? What is the benefit to the State? Is the franchise HQ bringing thousands of workers and tax revenue? I don't think so.

I wouldn't doubt that they have an assistant scouring the internet for topics of interest to fans. How else to keep our interest 24/7 for months? On the draft!!! And, then training camp. I remember when we didn't turn back to the Redskins (after the Superbowl) until the preseason games began.

Just because we need a TE doesn't mean we should draft one. But, we are fortunate that Peters seems to have an eye for unrecognized TE talent. Taking a flyer on a TE prospect is okay but even using pick 139 may mean that some other team selects Zac Zinter OG before we get to our next pick at 152.

Harris owns the land for the old FedEx stadium and the RFK land is already "free". Public funding will be needed for the surrounding infrastructure and financing of the construction of the stadium. If DC can figure out a way to get a positive return on its infrastructure and financing investment, then it can make sense to have the stadium in DC. Unfortunately, rogue politicians can derail everything as we saw with Monumental in Virginia. As a fan, I want the stadium in DC. But, Harris may get a larger return if he redevelops the current stadium site with assistance from Maryland.

Bowser said no. But, we will see. It has to have had an impact on the available funds for improvement.
