I might be more into Chris Godwin, who doesn't have the same injury history and is also an excellent blocker which is important in our scheme.
Again, Daniels made this team look much better than the overall talent level and other than #5 the Washington rookie class of 2024 was not exactly front and center on this run.
There is little clarity about our having younger players that stood up enough to show they are core pieces going forward alongside the quarterback.
On offense it looks like we still need under 25 pieces at WR, TE and RB that can elevate the squad. The line doesn’t have one pro bowler on it.
On defense you could make a case a complete tear down is still necessary, two years after Washington was ranked #30 under Ron Rivera and we jettisoned that defensive roster.
I look at KC and they keep finding these guys over the years like Chris Jones and L’Jarius Snead outside of the first round who made the all pro team regularly and put a top 5-10 unit out there.
I don’t think this is fair. First, you’re complaining that outside of our round one pick, we didn’t find enough. You can’t discount that pick. How many people here wanted Drake Maye? Our staff had Daniels ranked first on their board. They were way ahead of the rest of the league with regards to Daniels vs Caleb.
Second, Sainristil was a stud all year, while playing out of position. He was a huge part of us getting to the NFC championship.
Our starting left tackle was a 3rd round pick. I do agree that Coleman may eventually be a RT or guard, but he’s going to be a starter somewhere.
That’s 3 starters, as rookies, at positions of high value.
Newton contributed this year as a rookie. And I think we can expect him to look better next year.
And, I agree. The jury is out on Sinnott, Magee, and McCaffrey. Magee has looked like a steal in limited play, and is a 5th round developmental player.
I do agree with you that you can’t discount look at Sinnott and McCaffrey and wonder if we could have done better with those picks. McCaffrey especially was a head scratcher.
But, getting 3 high level rookie starters, a regular DL contributor and some developmental players is a successful draft.
Fangio made Kingsbury his bitch in the NFC Championship. I wonder if this helped motivate Kingsbury to return in order to exact vengance.
I don’t agree with this at all. We scored more on the Eagles and put up more yards than anybody else was. And we easily would have put up 30 plus, if not for a bunch of unlucky fumbles.
Quinyon Mitchell has been a stud all year, locking everyone down. The Eagles D in general has the best personnel in the league.
With regards to people saying we shouldn’t complain about the officiating, it’s buklshit to know based on who is officiating the game that we aren’t going to get a fair shake. That shouldn’t happen.
Was Brown called for pulling Lattimore’s face mask/helmet down and then pushing off? The league fined Briwn, but not Lattimore, for the fight, but which one got the penalty in the game? The league needs to fix it. They should just make all penalties reviewable. That would get rid of all of this crap.
