A little surprising but shows again how out of touch with league thinking that the media actually are. Always lots of "highly rated" guys who seem to drop to the lower rounds. Assuming Ron wasn't drafting them of course.

I always thought that is how to do it .. when drafting need you can definitely over draft ! Maybe they do have a plan at tackle possible Trade Allen ? maybe that's why they drafted Newton .. who knows ? Only time will tell .. i'm trying to be optimistic!

It's refreshing having adults in charge who know what they are doing.

I don't think they'll trade Allen. Payne/Newton/Allen is going to be real tough to deal with on a rotation.

I agree they won't unless a good offer comes in, i.e. swap for a top tackle. I'm not sure who would do that, while there will be teams that picked tackles the last 2 days, I'm not sure I see anyone that would definitely be looking to offload a 'spare'.

More likely they're looking at Newton as replacing Allen next year. But if they don't trade immediately and Newton shows starting level talent in camp, do they look to leverage Allen early?

They’re not try to win the SB in one offseason, it’s all about a multi year process.

For what it's worth, if they win the Super Bowl this year I'll win $6,000 from BET MGM so I want them to try this year

This thread is pretty funny.

Some scorching hot takes.

Overall, I think they did fine. We'll know in 3 years.

On the new guy

Ben Standig
The Commanders selected Washington safety Dominique Hampton with the 161st pick.

@dpbrugler's No. 9 safety runs a 4.45 40-time. An "impressive size/speed athlete who diagnoses well from the zone and is an explosive striker as a tackler.

Surprising he is still there, yes. Could be a good or great value in the 6-7 round though. Hope he is there when we come around again.
