Random Commanders Thoughts

[Neophyte]

Silly me. I was under the impression that the NFL had a salary cap.

I was wrong.

Accounting is a Dark Art.

One thing the Redskins have never been good at is faking and booty shaking.

I’m thinking that #11 pick goes to secondary, Either CB or FS. As talented as StJuste is the man had way too many concussions this year. SilentThreat mentioned Hamilton if he’s there, very intriguing prospect.

Or ‘coming through’ either.

If Hamilton is there at 11 I'll freak out. I can't see him getting out of the top 5

Funny... After watching that highlight clip of Hamilton I thought the same thing ST no way he gets out of top 5-10 range so I went to look him up in mock draft sites and the first one I open ,walterfootball has us taking him at 11

 

[Primus Porcus]

I will be shocked... It would 100% be a 'luxury' pick where other holes possibly could be addressed better, but he'd walk in and make the defense better day 1. He would just about be the only defensive player I'd be excited about taking at 11.

 

[Neophyte]

I think he goes Top 8.

My biggest concern with him is that he is projected into that weird sometimes S and sometimes LB space. Those type of players seem really boom/bust to me but I'd listen to arguements.

Fred Smoot talked me into Derek Stingley Jr. 🤷🏻‍♂️

 

[Win4us]

He’s missed so many games though, like the Jordan Reed on defense. Our team has had some shit luck keeping players healthy as well.

 

[Chris]

Too soon? 🤣

Belichick takes back ex-players all the time including Jamie Collins last year and this year Malcolm Butler.

In San Francisco, Shanahan has not only traded for Trent Williams but signed a number of players that were in Atlanta when he was OC there.

For the price the Commanders paid for Andrew Norwell, it's good to have a pipeline to go to

The Jaguars given where they are as a team were stupid to pay a 30 year old Brandon Scherff the money they did. On a 2 or 3 win team he doesn't move the needle much for them.

With his size and range he’d be the MLB find of the century. Having hybrid qualities that DelRio could move all around the defense would be too intriguing to pass on.

I am confused. Why come out and say this?

 

[Win4us]

There’s a long line of wtf’s coming from this team…just go with it.

 

[Win4us]

My bet is/was the team was going hard at secondary with the #11. Seems now that may be best WR at that spot now.

I thought the same thing... and I have absolutely no idea. Make teams think you could do it so if they love a guy, they know they have to either trade ABOVE you (allowing higher level players to fall) or trade WITH you and you can increase the return. It makes no sense to me.

One reason to say this is because you actually plan to draft a QB and you are blowing smoke. I don't think this is the case, but if they can lull others into not drafting the guy they want that's a very pre-draft kind of misdirection thing to do.

true.... but you devalue the pick at that point if that's not the plan. I guess we could shock the world and take a QB, but that would feel a little irresponsible to me when they invested what they did for Wentz... market value or not. With what they gave up and are paying Wentz, the prudent thing would be to surround him with talent... and drafting an insurance policy at QB with that pick would lead everyone to wonder why trade for Wentz in the first place.

That said, I'm all for stacking the QB room.... once you hit, nobody is really going to care how you got there... but I think taking a QB at 11 leaves a lot of possible talent on the board for other teams.
