I'll take the "wait and see" approach with Chase Young, because stupid is very hard to fix. He can start by showing us some knew moves when trying to sack the QB, otherwise, we could really be looking at a potential bust. There is hope, however, since he decided to attend OTAs this year. It's not like advertisers are knocking down his door to do more commercials when we consider the trash season he was having before his season-ending injury. As of today, I am not a fan of Mr. Gotta Make That Money. I truly would love to be one by season's end. Not to mention, Chase would defy the odds by showing that every now and then someone comes along who actually can fix stupid.

Respectfully, most here consider Wentz a significant upgrade, but "savior" sounds like an unrealistic expectation. I don't think Washington needs a savior to put a very good to great team on the field. A good QB could make this team significantly better.

I want a talented WR to pair with McLaurin with pick #11 or a trade down to recoup at least a third-round pick and still draft a WR. But if Malik Willis falls in their lap, I wouldn't be upset if they took him. I am honestly not sure if he will be a franchise QB, but he has the arm, the speed, and the athleticism to become one. He could sit behind Wentz for a year or two if necessary to learn how to read defenses, etc. And if Wentz ends up becoming that longed for franchise QB, Malik could be traded for a first-round draft pick or more if it comes to that.

I'll have to take your word that people are saying Wentz is bad but good for Washington. I haven't read many posts. I agree that it doesn't make sense.

There are some here (maybe many) that don't see him as garbage at all. Because he was not the best available doesn't make him garbage. In fact, our hope springs from the fact that as a QB talent, he's not garbage. The question is "Is he garbage as a person?" and IMO that is still to be determined.

IMO, Jameson Williams is that dude. He is the best and most explosive WR in this draft. His non-contact knee injury makes me a little skittish about picking him at #11. But a trade down somewhere in the teens to recoup at least that third-round pick would make me as bold as a lion and I would run his name up to the podium. Also, Williams will not make it past Dallas. They lost their #1 and #4 receivers so far this offseason. The thought of him falling in the lap of the Cowboys sickens me.

What! They lost McKissick? I really wanted them to re-sign him. Are the J.D. McKissicks of the world a dime a dozen in the NFL? I don't think so. What did he sign for? So, they've now lost Scherff, Settle, and McKissick. They have become a worse team since free agency started.

Generally speaking, I think #11 is a great spot for a trade back.

It depends on who is on the board when they pick. If their #1 QB, CB, or WR is on the board when they pick, they may pull the trigger and I wouldn't necessarily be upset about it.

I watched him run the 40 and IMO he looked too slow to be elite at the next level. I would take London over him. Although I have to admit that the PAC-12 has been weak defensively for many years.

If Malik Willis doesn't fall in their laps at #11, IMO a position of need with the best talent is WR. Washington needs a WR1 to pair with McLaurin to really open up the offense. If Williams, Wilson, or London are on the board at #11, I hope they take one of them. I guess I tend to agree with the consensus position of not taking a RB this early in the draft.

I would love for Washington to trade down far enough to get a third-round pick back. Then, if available, Jameson Williams is the player I prefer because he is the most explosive receiver in this draft. He destroyed Georgia's historic defense in the five quarters of football he played against them this past season. He had 7 catches for 184 and 2 TDs in the first game. And he had 4 catches for 65 yards before he left early in the second quarter in the second game. IMO, Alabama wins that game if Williams doesn't get hurt. His ACL injury does give me some pause because it was a non-contact injury. Is it the prelude to an injury-plagued career? Drake London would be my second choice if available. Terry McLaurin and either of those two WRs would be a nightmare for opposing defenses.

Hey, KillBill26, don't sell yourself short. It has been drummed into our heads that you just have to believe in yourself. If Wentz doesn't pan out, we will need you next year. So you have to start getting ready by believing in yourself right now. Don't worry about running, stretching, eating right, and nonsense such as getting into "football shape" whatever that means. The only imperative is that you believe in yourself starting right now "Commander QB KillBill26!"👍

Like most, I believe that Heinicke's best role on the team would be as a backup. As far as starters go, virtually anyone other than Heinicke is addition by subtraction. Wentz has the potential to be much more than simply not being Heinicke. He is addition with the real potential to be multiplication.

I remember watching Wentz toy with Washington's defense and complaining to myself about why they can't ever get a QB as good as Carson Wentz. And now, several years later, he's Washington's starting QB. If he gets his mind right, Washington will be a problem, because he still has all the physical attributes one needs to be a franchise QB. Going forward, I would love to see the team trade back far enough in the first round of the draft to get that third-round pick back then draft a WR. I prefer Williams from Alabama. He and McClaurin would scare defenses to death with the strong-armed Wentz throwing them the football.

I don't hate what Washington did at all in trading for Wentz for what amounts to two third-round draft picks. Now, the only way they draft a QB this year is if the one they truly believe in falls in their lap at #11. Frankly, I'm not convinced that Washington sees a QB who is worthy of being picked in the first half of the first round or even in the first round at all. They can now get a stud WR or CB or whoever with pick #11 who can actually upgrade the team this year. And if Wentz turns out to be a complete disaster, better QBs will be available in next year's draft.

In other words, Davis is an accident waiting to happen. You tee 'em up, I knock 'em out of the park.🥱

If Washington's first option at QB is gone by pick #11, I predict they will not draft a QB until the second round (whoever is left to choose from). Their first-round pick will be a WR or a CB. They could also trade back and accumulate more picks and get a QB later in the first round. However it turns out, I don't believe they will be drafting a QB at #11. They cannot draft a QB with that pick hoping that he works out if they truly don't believe in him. They will draft a player at another position that they do believe in. Some very talented players will be available at pick #11.

A simple change to Redwolves would have been so much easier to digest. Not to mention that it's a great name for a team formally known as Redskins. HTTR would have remained and been a bridge to the past. The helmet and uniform could have been something that really captured the imagination. And the logo with 1983, 1988, and 1992 on it is stomach turning idiocy. How much would it have cost the BILLIONAIRE owner to buy the name outright...for the fans? I can't even say the other name. To say I am disappointed would be a significant understatement. I don't know how I feel about the team going forward, because there is no connection to the past. I don't feel the new name at all. It is both unimaginative and uninspiring.

In fact, you are suggesting four #1s and two #2s and possibly another late-round pick for 33-year-old Russell Wilson. That's entirely too much. That's the epitome of getting in a bidding war with yourself. No other team would offer anything close to that package and neither will Washington.

I agree that, in my original post, I left out the fact that I was a retired member of the Air Force. So I apologize for that oversight. But in the post you quoted, I identified myself as retired USAF (United States Air Force). Your last paragraph has absolutely nothing to do with me, so I have no idea why you put that in. That is not my position on USAF commanders. They have always had my utmost respect. My only point was that they don't participate on the field of battle, so the name "Commanders" for a professional football team doesn't resonate with me at all. Added: Also, I never referred to commanders as middle managers. They all sit at the top of the food chain in their respective organizations. I said they manage their personnel and their materiel. How is that being a middle manager? Nevertheless, I sincerely apologize for any confusion or offense that I caused. I was speaking from my knowledge of the role commanders play in the Air Force and not in any other branch of the military.

You didn't read my first sentence. I spent 28 years in the Air Force and I am speaking from an Air Force perspective.

IMO, the more I hear about this year's crop of QBs, the worse it sounds. Four QBs may go in the first round because of the demand for the position as oppose to their level of talent. They have me wondering if any of them are worthy of being picked even in the first half of the first round. Being desperate for a QB this particular year, could lead to some very bad decisions that could have negative ramifications for years. I remain of the mindset that Washington (I still can't say the Commanders) should sit at #11 and see who falls to them. At least two, if not more, of the four first-round prospects will be on the board when they pick.

This retired USAF veteran wholeheartedly agrees with them. Added: The late great Teddy Pendergrass sang a song titled The Whole Town's Laughing at Me. It just seems like the entire sports world is laughing at us again. Dan Snyder is one of the closest things to a curse I've ever experienced.

Respectfully, this is an exception, not the general rule.
