Yes there may still be very decent vets available after the draft but it's no guarantee, and right now this is such a big need that it could influence our draft (in later rounds) so in my view it'd be better to know before the draft to what extent it's a still a need.

We definitely need a MLB. But I don't want to lose that compensatory pick for Scherff, especially considering we will be down another pick next year too for Wentz. That's a top 100 pick. And there are some damn good LB's that should be available through our 2nd round pick.

I hope we go WR/LB or LB/WR in the 1st 2 rounds. Then CB or S in the 4th round.

It does make sense. Maybe I'm just overreacting/shell shocked by last year. But it seems to me like NFL MLB is a position that takes a bit of time to learn. Even if we draft a stud, is he NFL ready right away? If he isn't, who do we have? If he is, are we good with being one injury away from playing David Mayo ?
I also feel like we don't want to be in a position have to reach for need...
But this is looking more and more like the FO agrees with you on the importance of this 3rd round comp pick, and maybe the plan is to sign a vet after the draft.

We've been waiting for the Commanders to strike in free agency for a middle linebacker. GM Martin Mayhew said today the answer might already be on the roster in Cole Holcomb.

My gosh. I'm hanging on to my recollection of my middle school English teacher telling us that "might" expresses a lower probability than "may"... (is it accurate btw? ^^)

I actually like Holcomb at WLB but to think that he's the answer at MLB is a joke.
So Davis, Holcomb + hopefully a rookie would be our starters.
Mayo, Hudson and a couple of UDFAs for depth ? That'll sure give nightmares to opposing Offensive Coordinators...

No way.

Here comes that sinking feeling again. For all those in favour of protecting a compensatory pick, is the 98th pick in the draft really worth having over a viable starter at MLB for 2-3 years. I am not so sure. They have not replaced the hybrid/ buffalo nickel position either. After last year Hudson is not an exciting prospect either

I wonder if there is a chance Collins will resign with us? I haven't seen any reports about Collins talking to any team, so I bet that will make him to reconsider his wishes.

Collins and his agent were not happy with the team when he was let go, so he will probably take a minimum deal anywhere but here to prove his point

Definitely has legs.

Rivera leaned into idea of Holcomb at MLB. Said post season eval and discussion reshaped the view of Holcomb's play and impact
