Skinsinparadise Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 If anyone here hasnt watched Jean-Baptiste hes a fun watch. Disruptive, good bend, twitchy, better prospect IMO than the edges taken late last year 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoVaSkins21 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) Peters and Co. already doing more in their 1st draft than Rivera and the clown show did in 4 years. Good and sad at the same time Edited April 27 by NoVaSkins21 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering our defense gave up 389 yards per game last season (worst in the NFL), it's not surprising that free agency and the draft have had a heavy defensive focus. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The final phases could be interesting. Post draft moves can top off the last couple of pieces of this extra large pizza 🍕 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

profusion Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 So, that's a wrap on the Commanders' draft. My impressions are: Athletic ability and attitude were the main drivers for GMAP, more than polish or being ready for Week 1 (JD might be the exception). He has a lot of faith in the coaching staff to make these guys into NFL contributors. There is a LOT of talent in this year's crop, but some of it needs heavy nurturing. The defense is taking shape, but I find the offense still a mystery. Peters has a lot of work still to do just to field a full 11 starters on offense. UDFAs and the waiver wire are going to be critical. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but our 4 offensive players were taken with our first 6 picks in the first three rounds. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88Comrade2000 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 Draft to long anyways. I can see the NFL getting rid of round 7 and maybe even round 6; as a compromise to get to an 18 game season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the league wants the NFLPA to agree to an 18-game schedule, they might have to expand the rosters. That would theoretically lead back to expanded draft. It used to be 13 rounds, if I recall correctly. They don't have to televise all of it! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Play Action will help if they are at least complimentary with the run game...nobody wants to see a day 2 rookie at LT with a rookie #2 pick.

He just hasn't been available and I'm not sure about his value because I'm not sure he's been coached well. Maybe he was over-drafted like most of those RR picks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justice98 Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I'm not gonna grade the draft, but there's nobody that I'm particularly enthused about seeing outside of Daniels. I was hoping for another starter somewhere, but I don't really forsee that. But we'll see. 39 minutes ago, DogofWar1 said: Get these Bills off the stage and announce the dang pick That pre-pick announcement stuff is painful. Guys getting the mic and going into business for themselves. I even wanted Darrell to shut up and get on with the pick. lol Get up there announce the pick, get on to the next one.

Veretax Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 I think the DT Pick would be a starter if not for who is in front of him. Sinnot may not be a starter initially but could end up as one if he shows growth early over urtz. Depends on how much 2 TE they run too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were some of my favorite players but since we had Quan I didn’t think we were going Slot CB. And I wasn’t sure Sinnott was a fit in the offense, even though he reminded me of Chris Cooley, and had truly ridiculous combine numbers combined with some nice production. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bates is a solid player and will contribute. Other guys will have to stand out in a big way to male the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Partag Posted April 27 Share Posted April 27 (edited) I'm very happy with this draft! First, we secured our QB of the future, even is not everyone may agree, I believe it was a really good pick. Then, we surprised everyone by choosing the best player available—a defensive tackle who is truly a beast. Mike Sainristil, the best slot corner in the draft, really stands out. We also picked McCaffrey as a wide receiver, who could potentially be our next Jameson Crowder, so that’s promising. Ben Sinnott, likely a starter for us next year at tight end, was another strong pick. Overall, it was a great draft, and even those last picks were solid. Sure, we still have work to do on the offensive line. Yes, our line is still underperforming, but we can’t solve all our issues in one draft. It’s not feasible, and we don’t want an entire line of rookies—that would be setting them up to fail. So, maybe we’ll add one or two more free agents. We’ll roll with this setup and do the best we can this year, aiming for significantly improved line play next year All things considered, I'm very pleased! 😊 Edited April 27 by Partag 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
