Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

I like the 3rd rounder. That is where WR's should be taken. Hoping the injury thing is something in the past.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

A good break down on some Antonio Williams. This guy was talking about him days before the draft.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Hoping Williams turns into a reliable guy for us. Feels like we have a bunch of guys at WR now. McLaurin, Lane, Burks, McCaffrey, Brown, Jefferson, and now Williams (and Brooks and Jones from last year’s PS). Only one proven quality starter though. Hope Williams can change that - seems like a similar skill set to McCaffrey in a more compact frame.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Going into the season I'd have no problem with McLaurin, Williams, Burks, McCaffrey and Brown (+ Lane if they carry 6). If we do bring in Aiyuk*, then I say definitely keep 6, with Brown or Lane losing out.

*If 9ers do as expected, I'd go after him as a FA but definitely not a trade. I don't see any remaining FA's that offer an upgrade on what's on the roster already, at lest not a cost effective option. Aside from UDFA's I reckon WR room is set subject to June 1st.

That all sounds right to me. Torn on Ayiuk. Bad injury and a head case - but the talent is there.

Center is were the value is likely to be by 147. Hecht, Lew or Brailsford.

Can’t even watch because of the introductions. Rypien last night was unbearable. These super fans are lucky the draft isn’t in Philly or it would be a bloodbath.

Anez Cooper or Sam Hecht please.

C'mon Jalon Kilgore. Fall a few more spots.

Benny or Cooper…..

Reckon they had Hecht and Brailsford nailed to their board then had to pivot quickly. Is Josephs BPA?

No complaints about adding a young pass rusher.

A wish list in the back half of the draft is a Fools Errand. Have a 1% chance of getting the guy you wanted most.

He is good value there for sure.

I imagine this is right -- went straight to their board and he was their BPA. Interesting run on interior OL in the last 25 picks or so. I think CLE scooped a guy they might have drafted the pick before in Brailsford.

And lets go to commercial after covering every pick before Washington and come back and start right after Washington.

I took him for the Chargers in the 2nd in a recent mock we did on another forum. I imagine he was BPA on their board and I think its a good pick

ESPN and NFL Network can both suck on the biggest bowl of dicks possible.

It's like we didn't even make a pick.

Love the Styles and Williams picks. Cannot coach what athletic traits Styles has and sounds like he's got super range. This defense should be significantly improved with the new additions.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Looks like they just Kaytron Allen from PSU at rb. Stud in college.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Allen is all time leading rusher at Penn St. 5'11" and 216 lbs. Supposed to be physical with great vision and feel for blocks. Strong, tough, and has quick feet. Imagine he'll do well with good rush blocking for time of possession and pounding the rock.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Not sure I get the QB pick, but I guess there were no other guys they liked enough. I'd like to have seen a S, CB, TE or even another WR, but I guess AP sees something in the kid.

I think it is just a need for practice squad. Hard to convince an udfa to sign knowing they won’t see the field from the side line so force them by drafting him

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Seems like a waste of a pick to me -- we have Mariota and then anything after him is irrelevant as the season will be over at that point, and this guy has the feel of a camp body. I'd rather go find even a kicker or take a flyer on some other position of need.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Feel the center drafted in the 6th rd Matt Gublin was good value. 3 year starter known for being a good pass blocker. Reportedly, he had a 4th rd grade. Hope this kid shows out.

I'd agree, with the caveat that they didn't reach for need, even after losing out on players they clearly wanted (Hecht?) and I'd suggest the C and QB picks are developmental as a result. I'm warming to the Allen pick, as although the RB room looks crowded right now, he could be a good compliment to Bill (assuming he isn't usurped). Thunder and lightning?

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

Really liked the Gulbin pick in the 6th round. I think he competes with Allegretti to start Day 1. For what it’s worth PFF had him graded as the 2nd best C in college.

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

The draft reviews seem too uncertain. I’ve seen reviews saying we got the best value and others putting us in bottom third. I saw one that had the panthers next to last (above SF) but the one two posts above had them at second best. It will be a while before we know if any of that goes instant feedback is remotely accurate.

I am looking forward to Styles - crazy good athlete - and see what he can do.

Allen will be starting at some point, probably sooner than later.

That fits. I counted 10 different players mocked at 7 which is a crazy amount of players for that spot. In reviews of Williams I have seen day 1 starter to a project. IMO still need wr I would like to sign Jauan and be done with it instead of waiting until august first 49ers to release Aiyuk

I could not believe that he was the all time leading rusher in Penn St history. They have had so many great backs.

He's had some issues since retiring. He was arrested for hitting his wife or spouse while in the car while it was moving. He admitted to it. He thinks that he has CTE.

Don't they have to release him before that? His guarantees have been voided, but isn't he due a roster bonus after 1st June? If this drags on into camp don't they have to pay him salary? Admittedly he'd likely not attend, but if he did and got turned away, would they not still owe him? It feels like they will certainly freeze him out TA and salary wise until 1st June at least, but then it becomes law of diminishing returns (or diminishing punishment) and the principle will start costing them more than just being done with the whole thing.

I don't see Jennings offering anything we don't already have in the WR room, and given Aiyuk isn't coming back, the 49ers not re-signing him and drafting Stribling, I question his value to anyone now. While we'd likely have a better WR room with Aiyuk (assuming he's healthy and not a cancer) I can't see them making a move for anyone else now, barring injuries.

They can utilize a post June 1st designation which allows them to manage the dead cap hit more to advantage the team. I don't know if they will but they could do that and then potentially not release him until August 1st. They have no reason to help a team in conference by releasing him sooner, but I would also think the optics of being petty would be a red flag. I wouldn't be surprised if they do a post June 1st and then release him on June 2nd. It benefits team and then allows him to move on. Like you said they don't have an incentive to hold him so realistically he will be released close to June 1. If they wanted to stoop to Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen pettiness however...

Re: 2026 Commanders Draft Results
 

I won’t be surprised if they release him relatively soon. If they wait to June 1, it will be obvious that they let it drag out when they didn't need to and that’s not a great look. But this week or next week will give them the cover to say they were focused on UDFAs before making the call. SF has had some issues with player dissatisfaction recently and I imagine they’re not looking to make that worse.
