@JPFinlayNBCS@BMitchandFinlay they weren’t unable to run - they abandoned the run in the 4th quarter. Bill got 1 carry after they went up 14! Once!!! He was averaging over 7 yards a carry.
@PoliticsAndBall@Coordin8edChaos You’d rather keep a backup qb than acquire draft capital so I guess we just won’t agree on anything. That’s fine no biggie. The team needs draft picks. As many as possible.
@PoliticsAndBall@Coordin8edChaos That’s not true at all. The team didn’t try to sell Luvu or Diggs or Mariotta or anyone. They decided not to. It’s a wrong decision and they’re right to criticize. Also, G&D are usually spot on.
I’ve heard from lots of Commanders fans saying WSH has nothing to trade. I think that’s false.
1) Obviously they aren’t going to be able to get first round picks back. That isn’t a pre-requisite to a deal.
2) What I’m talking about is getting what you can. Adding whatever late round picks you can if that’s what is offered. Theres no reason not to.
4) A talented pass rusher like K’Lavon Chaisson would have suitors. Dealing him would mean more playing time for rookie Joshua Josephs. Why not get a pick for him?
5) Several teams need WR help. Stefon Diggs wouldn’t make the Rams or the Chiefs better? He might immediately be the best WR on the 49ers other than Mike Evans. If you can get a pick for him before he hits the market, why wouldn’t you?
Nobody is suggesting the Commanders are going to load up on Top-75 picks. But the more draft picks you have —even in the fifth and sixth round — the better. Frankly, the higher they pick in round one the better. Moving some veterans and evaluating some kids is a win-win.
As Chicago, New England & Denver feast with 2024 NFL Draft QBs on rookie deals...
Washington with Jayden Daniels on a rookie contract:
2024: renaissance season
2025: injury-ravaged season with a disturbing amount of blowout losses
2026: the season is wasting away
Not ideal.
