We need Chariots of Fire theme added to this:

Patriots just took Joe Milton in 6th, interesting.

Guess I'm going to have to pay attention next year to which prospects are a team captain, Magee another one, seems to be a thing with GMAP.

We did have Cam Hart in for top 30 visit.... And Booker.

SF just took my personal mid-round RB crush, Isaac Guerendo. Rats. 3rd fastest 40 at the combine, period. At 6'0" and 221.

It's the Dream Killer, Ngata, with the Ravens' pick. Grrrrr.

OT Blake Fisher did a top 30 visit with Commanders....

Looks like we got 50 and 53?

Problem there is, 2 teams ahead of them (AZ, BUFF) also have real need at CB. But crossing fingers for DeJean anyway.

https://www.si.com/nfl/2024/04/25/2024-nfl-draft-jayden-daniels-best-quarterback The NFL Draft’s Best QB Just Landed With the Commanders Washington needs to treat Jayden Daniels like the gift that he is to this franchise, handing them the second chance of a lifetime. [excerpt] This is a plea for the Commanders to avoid destructive internal politics. This is a plea for the Commanders to avoid a rapid turnover at the head coaching and offensive coordinator spots (the Detroit Lions have held onto Ben Johnson for two consecutive offseasons; the Commanders, even with success on Daniels’s part, should do what they can to keep Kliff Kingsbury installed). This is a plea for the Commanders to allow for organic growth and progress in lieu of clumsily piling on high-priced wide receivers to microwave the process. This is a plea for the Commanders to find the Jayden Daniels offense. This is a plea for the Commanders to avoid the quest for personal credit, avoid disparaging the quarterback anonymously to reporters in order to save careers if Daniels struggles (kind of like they did to Johnson when he decided not to be the team’s head coach this past winter), avoid his personal life becoming his public life. This is a plea to treat Daniels like the gift that he is to this franchise and to understand that, while everyone has a job to do, the Commanders’ main priority is to not allow that stinging embarrassment, that all-consuming indifference and apathy, that forget-about-it hopelessness to begin coursing through the fanbase again. It’s possible, especially now that the planets have aligned, that the Bears may have passed on the draft’s best quarterback and handed the Commanders the second chance of a lifetime.

https://heavy.com/sports/nfl/las-vegas-raiders/jayden-daniels-jack-jones-commanders/ Raiders Star Suggests Jayden Daniels Isn’t Happy With Landing Spot For the last several months, the Las Vegas Raiders were heavily linked to LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels. Antonio Pierce was his recruiting coordinator at Arizona State and cornerback Jack Jones was his teammate. Jones didn’t hide the fact that he thought Daniels would be a good fit in Las Vegas. However, it’s not going to happen after the Washington Commanders selected the Heisman Trophy winner with the No. 2 pick. Shortly after the news broke, Jones noticed Daniels’ body language and suggested he wasn’t happy with the landing spot. “I know that look he ain’t wanna go there,” Jones wrote in an April 25 X post.

Yes, this feels like the weak link, both coaching and personnel wise, that could bring down the whole house of cards if not adressed/handled perfectly. Haven't done enough yet FA-wise, and kind of thought we'd move back into late first before all the 'top' OT were gone, but we'll see what happens with the rest of the draft and (hopefully) with additional FA signings. Who knows whether Bobby Johnson can get the job done, skeptical but fingers crossed.

Thanks for posting this! I thought it was interesting when he talked about turning in the card, said they would have run it up there, 'but you know, they always tell us to hold it for a while.' NFL just has to get all those commercials in lol.
