[quote=skinsfaninok;1314106]Mcshay and Kiper said this is the best WR class is years[/quote]It is loaded. A lot of speed galore also. Would not surprise me to see numerous all pros come from this draft. With this type of depth, we should trade down. No doubt in my mind we can get 2 stud starters with trading down that #11.

I’m really high on this guy. The depth of this draft is unbelievable. Getting more picks 2nd-4th round should be a priority[/QUOTE]


I hear that but Hamilton, Lloyd, Cross, Wilson, London, the Sauce, - man one of those guys sitting there at 11 I am going to be absolutely torn about trading back. Sometimes that one stud game changer can make everyone around him better and is worth 3-4 good players. Guess we gonna find out.

I like the WRs and LBs we could get.

But I really want Gardner or Hamilton.

Middle of our D vs options and protection up front for Wentz. Both so important. Christian Harris and Lewis Cine could both be there at 47. I would take either and a stud WR at 11. I mean extra picks is great but if we got two impactful starters in rounds 1-2 by staying put I would consider it a victory. You trade back and you better hit.

Re: Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread
 

Put me in the club that likes the idea of moving back and acquiring a couple more picks - unless Kyle Hamilton is there. He's probably the only player I wouldn't pass up at 11. Seriously doubt he'd still be there, but you never know.

[quote=punch it in;1314112]I agree. [B]You can’t give all that up for a bridge guy. [/B]If that was the plan they would have been looking at Winston or someone.[/quote]

Wentz's contract is only guaranteed for one season. Doesn't that make it feasible for him to be a bridge for a drafted QB? I'm asking because I'm bamboozled by all the salary cap permutations.

So, If I understand the salary cap and, in view of the outrageous (to me) prices teams are paying for supposedly franchise QB's, then the Commanders may have set things up for two possible ways to get the QB they need at a minimal price. They signed Wentz and now they could draft a QB they like. If Wentz is able to turn things around here, great! If not, then they could cut Wentz and go with the young QB they drafted.

Then again, I may not fully understand all of the potential salary cap gotchas.

from what I understand Wentz is basically just 3 years at 28-30m/year, so it's a 1-3 year contract, at the team's option. Washington could extend + restructure to lower the cap hit this year, but not really in their interest to do that at this point (let's see how he does first).

Re: Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread
 

I just don't think you assume that contract, and give up draft picks, AND draft a QB this year. If they wanted a bridge QB, they could have signed one of the many free agent QBs that were available and then drafted a QB. I just don't see it happening now. This smells like a long term relationship - at least I believe that is what they are hoping for. The rest of the offseason they will do their best to surround him with weapons and protection, and shore up the D.

If he sucks, then they can hit the reset button next year.

Another month until the draft (4/28/22) ... thats approximately the life cycle of your common house fly (28 days) or 4 life cycles for the common male mosquito (7 days).

Male mosquitos do NOT feed on blood but just nectar. Female mosquitos do feed on blood and can live up to 5 months but their average life cycle is approximately 6 weeks.

Our coaches went to Sam Howell's pro day and apparently it was a "big turnout" for us. I didn't keep track of whether the coaches went to any of rookie QBs' pro day lately, but this is the first report I have seen regarding our coaches visiting rookie QB's pro day.

Not sure how it will work, but it seems like Howell is in our cards for later in 2nd round or so.

It may be something, or it may be nothing. The reporter made it sounds as if the Howell visit is different than others.. But then it might be just that the report needed something to report.

The beauty of approaching draft days - a lot of smoke screen going on.

I think Howell could be the Davis Mills of this draft...I think he could be a solid QB in the right offense. He would be a solid 2nd round pick in my opinion, and at worst...his floor would be Heinekee's ceiling.

You're right haha...I just meant for a QB not drafted in the first round, end up looking like a good QB.

He did look like he has potential. Especially playing for that mess as a rook.

Actually you didn’t really call him the next Davis Mills but I read it that way. I know exactly what ya mean.

Being a Miami fan, I watched a lot of him. Watch the ACC in general. He has absolutely torched my Canes before. At times he was off the charts good. We aren’t taking any of them anyway with Wentz needing weapons and protection.

All year media coverage is the goal. Gotta stretch out the dates in spring/summer to limit the down time.

Soon enough well have like UFA college summer developmental leagues with a 2 round draft after just for players in the UFA summer league.

^^ actually a brilliant idea ..

Its draft month baby!! Almost there. I'm going to watch the draft on a unicycle while eating sliced bread.

I'm a fan of this site. Full 7-round NFL mock draft.

[url]https://www.drafttek.com/2022-NFL-Mock-Draft/2022-NFL-Mock-Draft-Round-1.asp[/url]

They have us taking:

1. Derek Stingley Jr. - CB - LSU
2. Nakobe Dean - LB - UGA
4. Dontario Drummond - WR - Ole Miss
6. Bubba Bolden - S - Miami (FL)
7. Lucas Krull - TE - Pitt
7. Brock Purdy - QB Iowa State

I don't love this particular draft, but wouldn't hate it either.

Re: Official 2022 NFL Draft Thread
 

I don't know about the rest of it, but if we got Stingley and Dean, that would be amazing.

I looked up those tackle prospects…all look to have the same quality, better use at guard. Look like we will be adding young talent to replace Schreff which makes sense.
