One thing I think most people do not realize is that Adam Peters did try to trade back into the 1st round to pick up a higher-graded OT. The cost did not fit our rebuild package even with the higher number of picks that we have accumulated. At 36, there wasn't enough value at tackle to take one early in the second. That put them in a BPA situation. Day 2 concluded with solid picks in areas of need as well as BPA. Every player has a RAS score in the mid to high 9s.
@@philw9787not sure that’s the same value Commanders needed. Coleman can hit at LT, LG, and RG and can play now. Morgan was last guy who could be sure fire LT and they tried to get him. Margins in the comparisons of the next group
Guys hell yeah it was an effing great podcast!!! It’s Saturday night and the draft is over and I’m absolutely thrilled with what Adam Peters and the team have done both in free agency and the draft. I happened to really like Newton before the draft and was bummed we didn’t need one and when we picked him I was beyond happy. Guys this is not a 1 season rebuild project. It’s going to take another draft at least. You don’t build from what the prior regime left them in one off season. I’d have loved to be able to fix every problem all at once. But as you indicated that just isn’t realistic. I feel great about where this team is going.
AP knows what he is doing! Hoped for an Eagles GM clone, and we got him. If anyone thinks we could do better plugging holes and upgrading the roster, I'd love to hear it. Cap still good, brought in atheletes (some were captains on their college team) to coach up, brought in vets to help, fantastic coaching staff. This year we are trying to turn around the culture and compete every game. Next year we kick it into high gear, whole team will be younger and hungry. I expect some UFAs signings and maybe look at some Ts after cap and post-draft cuts. We drafted for high ceiling, now we need to coach them up. RR crew thought college did coaching and all they needed was a playbook. Our olines were good with Bugel, Grimm, and Matsko, but you have to start with good players; as someone said, you can only do so much with a Yugo.
JP, fantastic video / podcast. Great info and background on our picks thus far and v handy to hear Jayden and DQ’s interviews too. Great work, thank you for putting this out there. Props to Mitch for powering through whilst under the weather. 👍
Everyone is already thinking that the Commanders are rebuilding now like the Wizards?!! Not so!! The Commanders organization are "retooling" the team!! Which is a great and huge difference!! All you people need to get it right?!!
Exactly. Commanders has great players on both sides of the ball. They are a few pieces away from being able to compete. They just need a competent HC and GM to put the team together and I believe they finally have one now.
I was worried early but I love our new players. We got a fringe starter T. Two solid 2’s which I was ecstatic about. Plus add in some McCaffrey on top. Cooking
Still some part of the draft to go, for me it's a mixed bag I love some of the picks, and I think we reached for some. But it's going to be a 2 season fix, let's see the end of the draft and any free agents. The Washington Commanders' tallest WR thus far is a 6ft 2 slot receiver.
Lots of Tackle at the top next year. We can plug holes this year and go for better options next year - Coleman can go inside. Lots of RPO and quick Game this year
Kansas City got BYU left tackle at 60. For some reason, refuse build young oline. I know sign a center, but man really good young centers we passed up. My favorite pick pro tight end play all 4 downs. Pass up big wr mitchell was interesting. Then draft small wr is suspect pro got in 5th round.
My problem was never with getting more swings at the ball, but risking the development of our future franchise qb. Many of us that didn't like the trade and picks wanted the absolute best OT and were willing to overpay. In the end if it leads to developing the qb for the next ten years that was resources well spent. If missing out on OT means the QB thing ends badly, you lost far more than overpaying a tackle.
Interesting comment that “they” were willing to OVERPAY. Who is they? The couch and social media GM’s whose jobs are not on the line? It certainly wasn’t the Commanders, even though as stated above, they tried but found no willing trade partners. How can someone be disgruntled when the team tries but can’t find a trade partner? This coaching staff will coach up whomever they bring in during and after the draft. Let’s not forget, still 3 picks to go, UDFA’s and 3rd wave of free agency.
D line should actually be relentless next year. Cb room should be a really good competition. Love the addition of Luke mccaffrey at pick 100. Think he’ll start w terry and jahan in the slot and add an extra dimension. Interior of oline should be good to go but tackle is a little worrying. Still some options in FA 🤞 plus there’s still corn Lucas
Okay, look, as someone who DOES think it's a big deal that they didn't do more at OL, let me defend myself. First, I DO like this draft. I'm sitting here during the 6th round and they've added LB Magee, and S Hampton, and I like them too. I like Newton. I like Sainristil. I would like picking them in any other year. I like the trade back. But I also agree that Jayden is the big piece of chicken or whatever JP was babbling about. And Jayden is a very thin QB with a track record of running face first at oncoming trains. It is NOT crazy to be worried about his durability. I think the need to protect Jayden with blockers, and arm Jayden with receiving options so he can get rid of the ball on time, should have been the dominant mission of day 2. It should override, just this once, the need to go Best Player Available. I respect Peters' devotion to the religion of BPA. I worship at that altar as well, albeit more casually it seems. We need to be building the best nest around our new baby bird as we can so that he succeeds. Defense is next year's problem. WAS can repair the damage by going out and getting some OTs in free agency. But I really would have liked them to do more in the draft because those free agents will probably be short timers, and that's more instability in a position group that benefits most from stability.
No left tackle drafted. I thought they might even trade back into the first round to get one. Instead we got another guard. Offensive line will still be a problem.
@@Legendary__1 Better to have Jayden’s blind side better protected and not a question here about those other positions but choosing a guard at this pick rather than a tackle
I can live with Jayden Daniels if he really is Lamar Jackson 2.0, but you still need to protect him with an OLine… but with the last picks, just draft the guy I’m hearing about, an Australian Rugby player who is freaking huge ( 6’7”) and fast, went to college in Australia…. Let’s shock the world!!!
@@ianbanks3016 I’m not going to argue with a casual!!! Sam was trash didn’t know how to change protection! Had great pockets a lot !!!!! Even didn’t call anything to move the pocket no bootlegs nothing!!!!!! Routes the took 3years to run no at the line adjustments !!!! Nothing at all!!! We’ve made moves this offseason!!! It’s a rebuild 🤡 we’re not in a win now position!! You don’t reach for a tackle nor do you sell the bank and future picks to get back in the first round to take one
@timmydee9058 our OL was abysmal last year. What caused the Redskins to win 3 Super Bowl 🏈? 1981 draft and free agents. We got Mark May, Russ Grimm, then Joe Jacoby and Bostic in free agency. Best way to help Jayden Daniels is OL and a good running game.

Teams keep left tackles except for Washington. 😊

def good that we got Jayden…. to even out the OL
Jayden… the RB 😅
The draft was different different this year. ..so far.. #HTTC

And he wasn’t making it the the fifth and he’s a baller !!!
Kingsley wasn’t a sure fire hit. KC got a project and next year we can draft a finished product
This is so much more fun with a competent FO.

They tried to move back into the 1st to get a OT but couldn't.
They tried moving back into the top 20 and no teams would bite. They did try and after that didn't reach on a OT

it's easy to be willing to overpay when you're not the one spending the money...

F'n fantastic

B+ grade for sure
informative content though
You have to have a trading partner and no one would let A P back into round 1 for a tackle.
Why didn't they draft a big speedy receiver to take away the double team on terry or a middle linebacker to study under Wagner . 😢😢😢
I don’t think that Need a big speedy receiver. They got terry and jahan for speed. They did draft Luke who is 6’2-6’3 and has good speed.
