[quote=skinsfan69;1380145]Running backs are a disposable position w/ high risk injury. It's just not a position I would ever invest a 1st round pick in.

McNichols and Bill are fine. Draft someone in the mid rounds and bring in a FA or two.[/quote]

For a special talent I’d take a first rd back, and I’d ride him into the ground and let him walk before he gets his second contract

Re: 2026 Commanders Free Agency
 

And there we go, we've signed White. Now we have the grand total of 2 RB's on the roster. :)

Less of a priority to draft Love at #7

Trade back, get more picks, or go BPA.

I hope to see him do a TD dance again this year

Everybody always wants the shiny new toy. If they think he's BPA and he's still there take him. I'm just not down with taking backs that high in today's league.

They could find a guy like Hemby. He is an absolute beast of a running back. Way better value taking him over Love. He can do it all... catches, runs with power, has breakaway speed, a complete back you can get in the middle or late rounds.

Looks like it is down to Styles, Tate and Downs.

I am hoping for Downs. Someone that good on the back end of our defense would be a very nice and welcome addition. Hopefully, Amos and Sainristil will live up to their promise, and we have a good box safety in Cross, not to mention a LB that can cover TEs in Chenal. With the additions on the DL, we ought to be a lot more stout. Downs completes the D transformation, I think.

Add McNichols and Chris Paul, and then let's see who else we can add at WR. We've done a lot in 3 days, and the number of missing pieces (beyond needed depth, of course) is meaningfully starting to shrink.

We say this every year and it rarely works kn the trade back, and if we are being honest if Love is there at 7, he is the BPA, and I couldn't get to the podium fast enough to say his name

Re: 2026 Commanders Free Agency
 

While I get that depth guys won't likely be signed until the 2nd wave of FA gets going, and even then many will wait until after the draft to fill holes, I really hope we are still pushing to get at least one WR. Not getting Peirce and/or Doubs is disappointing, and we can't get everyone we want. I guess we are waiting until the 49ers do something definitive with Aiyuk, but I would still be looking at guys like Jennings.

I'm torn on Aiyuk, but if he is 100% back to his best by seasons start (if not camp), he, Scary and Jennings, plus the rest of the room would give us real capability in the passing game, even without a dominant TE. And if Okonkwo and Sinnott come good...

I am not sure on Jennings, I mean he's the same guy Deebo was last year in terms of age, lack of explosiveness, etc. But Deebo has amazing Run after catch numbers. So they are comparable and I think we paid Deebo 17M last year, plus a 5th rounder and it was considered a great deal. Deebo carried the WR room last year with limited deep route ability. Jennings just did the same at San fran but had lower numbers, yet more TDs. I see Jennings as a WR2 at best and Deebo as a WR3+ only because Deebo can't get separation on deep routes, although he did complete some deep passes anyways. I kinda see them both the same, with Jennings more traditional route tree guy. From a bad ass standpoint though, Deebo is actually better. So it the idea is to pay one of these guys 35M for 2years 2years which one do you take? My belief is there is a bias of greener grass and yeah Deebo is very limited in what he does, but as for value? Any big 3rd rounder can do what Jennings does, in fact, he may be replacable with a late cut, but Deebo is unique. I am not sure, but my best guess is if they can get Jennings for 17M/yr for 2 years, they will take him, but I'm sure he's looking for 3 years/50 or so is my guess. If Jennings bails, I bet they immediately sign Deebo for 15M 1 yr. There isn't anyone else out there that is much better. Thoughts?

Love that they're bringing back Dyami. He and JD seemed to be having some good chemistry late in the 24 season.

I'd pass on Aiyuk. I didn't even realize that he didn't even play last year. No thanks. We don't even know if he is healthy and can run and is explosive. Way too many red flags with that guy.
