Wasn't much to make me groan or scratch my head this year, and from most of what I've seen said about the majority of our picks, it's all incredibly positive.  However, I've seen a few draft grades articles on social media today that have us in the bottom half and even dead last, against the rest of the league.  I don't get it.

When reviews from professional outlets say things like "Linebacker wasn't a need" to justify criticizing the J. Davis pick, welllll.

Loved the J. Davis pick at #19 and the 3rd round selection of Dyami Brown. Would have preferred a trade up in round 2 for Moehrig or T. Jenkins but Cosmi is fine and addressed need. Interesting that (according to RR) another team wanted to trade up for our first 3rd round pick to take St. Juste. The TE in the 4th looked good at the Senior Bowl and is a solid blocker with untapped pass catching ability. Maybe a round too early, though? 

Overall, I liked the draft. 

What was the knock on Dylan Moses? I saw him in mocks going in rounds 3-5 and was surprised Wash didn't use a 7th on him when he was still available.

I'm aware. I don't think we make the trade. But it's something worthy of a short discussion for laughs. 

 

Chicago would offer their second and players to move up, likely including Mack.

 

I'd pass all day long. But, kinda fun in the slow news period

Gotcha, thanks for clarifying.

I'm torn. I LOVE the idea of picking Young at #2, but I really LIKE the idea of drafting Okudah or Simmons at #5 or #6, and having extra high picks in this year's and next year's drafts.

Sure, but if Chicago does move up it doesn't matter who its for. Chase Young would not be available at our selection. 

 

Chicago seems to be getting prepared for Burrow OR Young to go #1. They want to get their quarterback, and they know they would likely need to leapfrog everyone else to get him. Moving to two for Tua makes sense.

 

Chicago doesn't have a 1st round pick, fyi. Oakland is drafting #19, via Chicago. https://nfltraderumors.co/2020-nfl-draft-order/

If Washington trades down my guess is that it is to 5, 6 or 7 (Dolphins, Chargers or Panthers) and the target would be Okudah or Simmons, or possibly A. Thomas. 

Look at the non-divisional home slate for next season: Seattle, Atlanta, St Louis, Jacksonville, Tennessee. 

 

 

That's not a great looking home schedule if you are forecasting aftermarket prices. St. Louis, Jax, and Tenn...ughhh. Unless those teams are vastly improved they are going to be lower tier games where ticket holders will be lucky to recoup face value.

I've had season tickets for 7 years. I had 6 year before last but downgraded to just 2 last year after prices were hiked. I'm on the fence regarding re-upping. I might just dump my 2 seasons and pick up tickets for a game or two in the aftermarket. There are always good deals on upper bowl tickets, especially for the lower tier games...even if the team is having a good season. And if the team stinks like this year...you can find SRO tickets for games like KC for $5-7 lol.

I have always shared season tickets but it was never under my name. This year I think I'm going to get my own account. I mainly want to do this so I can start to work my way up every year until I'm at or around where I usually sit now. Does anyone have any advice to share with me? Is this a good reason to buy tickets or should I just save myself the time and money and stick with the good deal I have now?

I shared season tickets for a couple of years before getting an account in my own name. This will be my 4th year officially as a season ticket holder (6 if you count the other 2). If you renew early each year and ask to be upgraded without paying more you will likely move down a row or two each season until you hit the cutoff point where you have to pay more. I was in row 27 of 28 in the upper deck in 2009. Nose bleed central. In 2010 I was in row 21. Last year was in row 19 (which is a major difference from 27). Hoping to get to row 16 or 17 this upcoming season.

I mainly have an account for playoff games. I want the guaranteed option to purchase tickets at face if we ever become a contender again. Also, it was nice last season getting free tickets to the Man U/FC Barcelona game.

Coming from Richmond I don't make it to that many games due to the drive. I usually go to 2-3 of the less desirable games (Rams, Cards, etc.) and sell off the more desirable games like Cowboys to maximize my resale value. It works out for me that way.

just renewed my seats for next year...

I have the $44 seats from the upper endzone sections that were removed. I am now in the corner. I checked that I do not want a price increase, but would like to be moved lower in my section. I wonder if they'll upgrade me and keep me at $44 or if I'm not eligible to be upgraded without a price increase since that ticket price really doesn't exist anymore...

Same here, upper corner that were in the EZ in previous years.

You will likely get bumped down a row or two, especially if you paid this early. Your price is good for the upper portion of the upper level, rows 15-28. I started in row 27 of 28 5 years ago but was in row 19 last year. Am hoping to get bumped down to row 17 or 18 next year. Once I get to row 15 I will stick with those seats so I don't have to pay the higher rate.

A beer at Fed Ex Field is $9 a piece now? Holy ****.

Yep, $9. Doesn't matter if it's Guinness or Miller Light, either. Same price.

I got a pretty big auto upgrade this season. Moved from upper endzone section 414 to 407, plus down a couple of rows. No extra cost. In years past I either didn't get moved or would only get bumped down a row in the same section. I did renew right away this season so maybe that had something to do with it.

Hopefully the Manchester United tickets arrive this week.
