Draft sucks! First 3 picks are Snyder. The rest are done by Mayhew and Staff.
8 wins here we come!

If there is a disappointment, not drafting a MLB.

8??? You are confident. Not sure the Redskins improved anywhere from last season (Yes even QB - Wentz has more upside we'll see if that happens) and certainly declined in certain areas.

Re: The 2022 Washington Commanders draft thread
 

And to think if only Snyder would let some of you run this team all would be well.. expert opinions for sure … not one person on this or any other forum could ever land a job on a NFL team !! Whether you are right or wrong about any player it’s all a guessing game ..

Re: The 2022 Washington Commanders draft thread
 

Pretty good draft in my opinion. You can call some of the picks "reaches", but that's only if you buy into the rankings. I do not. With the exception of the top 10 or so, the rankings are all over the place. I think I'll trust the scouts, coaches, and GMs who get paid for a living to evaluate the players for their skills, potential, and FIT with this team.

I do wish they had found a way to address the LB position, but it appears they stuck with their board, and not Daniel Jeremiah's board or one of the many other rankings put together by fantasy football writers, CBS, or whatever. Can't hate them for that. They were also able to maneuver around to get more picks - instead of six total, they ended up with six in the top 150.

Still work to do, but I think the draft was solid.

100% - while LB is a worry, we addressed gaps in the roster and may even have picked up a future starting QB (or at least a solid backup).

I only hope they've done their homework on the UDFA pool. Seems every year we don't bring guys in and they get picked up by other teams and succeed. Could well be our missing LBs are in that pool; maybe not a starter but at least improved depth.

And with those picked up in the draft, there will be guys surplus to requirement on other rosters soon. Could be a guy or 2 that are better fits for us.

Re: The 2022 Washington Commanders draft thread
 

Everyone loves the picks the day after. Grade them a year from now. We ought to do a poll now on the 2021 draft. Looking back it was just so so at best. Still a ways to go on it obviously. But the sign of a great draft and a great GM is what you do in the mid and late rounds.

What I did like is they seemed to get a real ball hawk w/ ball skills at safety in Butler. 4.39 speed w/ ball skills is exactly what we need back there. Loved that one.

Also the big TE from Nevada. He needs to be developed but that could be a steal.

And the Howell pick. Thank god they finally drafted a freakin QB. He was one of the best QB's in the country in 19 and 20. Fell off a bit last year. Don't care. Let's see how he responds to NFL coaching. Great pick.

Re: The 2022 Washington Commanders draft thread
 

Here is a list of UDFA’s we signed according to USA Today, includes two LB’s, a productive WR and a 6’7” 249 pound QB.

Heard from league source on Commanders 5th rounder TE Cole Turner: “I love the pick. This guy has mad skills. I think he has the potential to be a stud.” I asked about blocking questions - “Like most TEs now, he’s more of a big WR target.” Turner had 1300 yds, 19 TDs last 2 yrs

He had the 2nd strongest arm in the class according to Mcshay. He’s also pretty accurate. Honestly he could be the steal of this class and James Jones said the same thing.

We now have 2 QBs that excel at Throwing the Bomb, as my mom likes to say. McLaurin and Dotson are gonna feast.

Turner and Thomas should also find success in the middle of the field.

Re: The 2022 Washington Commanders draft thread
 

I’d say the first 3 picks need to contribute immediately. And from the talk of both Ron and MM they state the same thing.

They are expected to pick up the system quickly, put in work and get results right away. They can’t be like our first round pick from last year, where he was getting less than 10 snaps in week 12.

That’s not the expectations with the top 3 picks. They need to produced NOW

Some of you sound like you gave birth to these players.

Howell is the only guy who provides any glimmer of hope but the curse of Lil Danny Boy will take him down.

Re: The 2022 Washington Commanders draft thread
 

Every fan base drinks the koolaid not just us. Obviously 2-3 guys from this class on average will actually help this team in the long run. The Question is which 2 or 3 will it be? Same for every team. The nfl isn’t the nba. Guys are so hard to predict as early producers for your team.

Solid points. You are right, we can't really give them a grade yet since none of these players have played an NFL down. That's why I don't buy into the rankings - at all. Every year you get countless prospects rated high that can't make the transition to the NFL, and countless prospects rated low that ball out.

All the comments about reaching for any of these guys is as premature as the comments about how good each pick was. We just won't know for a year or two.

On paper I'm pleased.

Percy Butler will be our starting FS no later than mid-season. Don't cut Apke because of Butler. Butler won't play much special teams for long.

Re: The 2022 Washington Commanders draft thread
 

I'm glad we drafted Howell, I like him. I thought he would be gone by 2nd round but then many of us thought a few other QBs would be drafted in 1st round lol..

Howell has a nice arm but he needs work on his techniques. For those who are interested, Kurt Warner made a couple of nice breakdown videos of Howell on YouTube. I think it will be a good test for our QB coach, whoever that is.

The plus about having Howell is that if things go south for Wentz, at least we can sort of look forward to him taking over (to see what he's got) as opposed to having to endure Heinecke again.

On a serious note, I'm glad they got a developmental QB, definitely thought it was a smart move.

Re: The 2022 Washington Commanders draft thread
 

I hope that the drafting of Howell breathes life into Dyami Brown. If Dyami can begin to show what he did at UNC, adding him to the McLaurin, Dotson, Samuel trio could be very potent.

Re: The 2022 Washington Commanders draft thread
 

I wanted Howell and they got him!! I feel he’s the best of the bunch and we got a steal. Hopefully won’t be long before he takes over Wentz spot.

They like to play 3 safety formations so unless Forrest starts to look good I am not sure who else they have.

Wasn't sure if you saw a different reports on him. I do like his athleticism.

Re: The 2022 Washington Commanders draft thread
 

I think there's still a (small) chance we will bring Collins back.. I don't believe he will find a team that will play him as a starter and we are probably the next best available for him because we play 3 safeties often.
