PCS Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Welcome to the Commanders Big Man. PHIDARIAN MATHIS DT ALABAMA HEIGHT. 6' 4" WEIGHT 310 lbs ARMS. 34 5/8" HANDS 10 3/8" Overview Scheme-versatile wide body with long arms and solid technique at the point of attack. Mathis is a Nick Saban-style run-plugger with powerful hands and a dense anchor. He comes into the league ready for two-gapping duties. He's more effective against downhill rush attacks than move-blocking schemes, but he's more a piece of the front than a standout playmaker. He can push the pocket on early down passing plays but is likely to come off the field on passing downs. Mathis should compete for early playing time as a 4-3/3-4 nose or as a five-technique. Strengths Named a permanent team captain for the 2021 season. Outstanding blend of girth and length. Instant ground-to-pads hand quickness off the snap. Will punch and separate with two hands or one. Possesses three-position versatility in odd/even fronts. Harmonious hands and feet to punch and slide laterally. Two-gapper with traits to sit and fight versus downhill run game. Dents protection with bull rush or edge attack. Maintains sack viability as muddle rusher. Draft Profile Click lInk for More Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lavar1156 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 24 year old two down player in the 2nd round. Unbelievable. He better be really effing good or Ron can take a hike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander Chaaarmnder Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Wow, didn’t see another Alabama player coming…. oh wait. Sheeeeeesh. Welcome to Washington. No hard feelings on the player, just eh meh. This pick could have literally gone to any other position and I would have been happier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Usually the picks I really question and doubt turn out great. Therefore, we just got a steal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade7 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 So I guess that really does mean Payne is gone... Fascinating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlyBigBeard Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Hopefully this is Matt and Tim's replacement and not Paynes ...pay Payne. ...should have traded back and still got Mathis, and some more pics. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FootballZombie Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Made a problem on the D-line, solved a problem on the D-line Feels a lot like spinning your wheels, especially when you didn't have to and even more so when the Line is supposed to be the strength of your squad. This leaves a taste in your mouth and not of the pleasant Brain-flavored variety. 5 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is over the fact that we created the issue to have to pick that player. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Not going to put negativity towards the organization’s decisions in this young man’s welcome thread. Mathis is a two gap 1-tech that has a brutal punch and eats space like a champ. He’s not a premiere athlete and he’s not going to wow us with big plays. But he’s a stout beast of a man and will be steady and solid for us. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtisDriftwood25 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 Confused but not upset. Could be there Kawaan Short. Thing is most people move there offensive lineman inside due to arm length. 35 inch arms and SEC production. Should get 3rd or 4th for Payne compensation. They had 40 picks or so between picks so they went after the guy they had to bang the table for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan93 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 I don’t understand? We have no backup with Settle and Ionannidis gone. We can’t have enough defensive lineman and he’s insurance if we trade Payne. For those that want Dean, he’s still available in the third and has injury concerns. We have a third and 2 fourth round picks and hopefully we get a tight end and a buffalo nickel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, but Settle is 2.6 Mil cap hit w/ the Bills Ion is 2 Mil cap hit w/ Car Prospects of extending Payne is iffy Even if you outbid for Settle/Ion and choose to commit to Payne. your not paying 4 DTs starter money. If any 1 of those 3 situations were different, you don't need to spend a 2 on a DT. SInce we let Settle walk, cut Ion and made our own bed w/ Payne. this was a self created problem that we spent a good asset to resolve 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destino Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 You always need more lineman. We lost some very high quality depth this off-season and so drafting more makes sense. Not sure this guy was the right pick but I expected lineman in this draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted April 30, 2022 Share Posted April 30, 2022 It was a pure need pick. No way this guy was the BPA. Absolutely no way. I probably would have taken Brisker or McBride, but we did absolutely need a backup DT and its hard to argue against anyone with an Alabama pedigree. Not a terrible pick, just underwhelming when there was still some legit talent. It did suck that so many of the guys we really wanted like Walker, Pitre etc. got taken in the earlier part of the round. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
