I actually like Pennix quite a bit and would have taken him at 12. Problem was I thought I was going to get jumped for both these guys. So I made the pick I made.

None taken. I’m not in love with McCarthy either. But I do like the extra picks I got

I’d be 100% all for this. Get 2 first rd Wars to hold it down for at least the next 5 years. Get a starting S and then your starting DT who will be a wrecker for the foreseeable future. I also line Speights. Don’t know anything about Henderson.

***Trade Alert*** The Chicago Bears have traded the 9th pick in the 2024 NFL. Commanders receive: #9 (1350) Bears receive: #12 (1200) #100 (100) #121 (52) with the 9th pick in the 2024 NFL draft, the Washington Commanders select J.J. McCarthy, QB, Michigan. the Commanders feel great trading back, picking up extra picks this year and next while still getting one of the QBs they eyed all along. Like we announced earlier, we are more than just a QB away from contending, this gives us our guy as well as the extra picks to surround him with players that can make a difference. I knew I may need to trade back up to sneak ahead of Min or LV to get our guy. We’re completely fine with giving up some later round picks here. fwiw, I liked Maye, and Daniels more, and would have taken them at 2 but I didn’t love either of them so much that I didn’t feel good about getting McCarthy, AND the extra picks @TPS and the NYJ are on the clock.

Yeah but Payton just took him to keep his wife busy so he could really get his team back on track again. He plans on using Russell Wilsons old stadium office as his personal apartment until things get back on track. His wife might be lonely. lol. Ok. Got it.

The points added up. And we do know for sure Payton and Denver want a QB.

Well. Technically the 3 QBs went 1,2,3 regardless which was expected. And let’s be honest, if you don’t think there’s going to be some early trades going on in this draft IRL your crazy.

I agree. I think at least 1 makes it NEAR the 9th to 10th pick. And if that’s the case I see a lot of people trying to move mountains to get one. I also believe Odunze will end up being the best WR on the draft. Not taking anything away from MHJ or Nabors. Just my opinion though. However I also believe he has the potential to be the one falling to the 10th pick or so. And because of that, if he did get near 10 if I was the Bills I’d be looking to move up.

While I generally agree with you and remember that. But 10+ years ago is rough to remember so I looked it up and saw this on his Wiki page “Prior to the 2012 season, Mathieu was ranked as the third best cornerback prospect in the upcoming 2013 NFL draft by NFL analyst Chad Reuter. On November 29, 2012, Mathieu stated his intentions to enter the 2013 NFL Draft.[24] Mathieu attended the NFL Combine and completed all of the combine and positional drills. On March 28, 2013, Mathieu attended LSU's pro day, but chose to stand on his combine numbers and only performed positional drills.[25] He was projected to be a second or third round pick by the majority of NFL draft experts and scouts. At the conclusion of the pre-draft process, Mathieu was ranked as the tenth best cornerback prospect in the draft by DraftScout.com“ but that’s besides the point. Because I’m fully remembering him being more worthy of a possible 1st rd pick. I remember I wanted him (not in the 1st rd). But the facts are still out there that both of these guys were considered sure high picks (if not for off field issues), not some tweeners that don’t have a position. Mathieu is another one that got drafted and never changed positions from Safety after entering the league. He’s been on multiple teams and still continues to be a S. And I would argue there isn’t a S in this draft that is worthy of a first rd pick

Well. Mathieu was a 3rd rd pick. both were also considered safeties in the nfl. Which is what they are. Fitzpatrick even asked to be traded by Miami because he was out of position and went to the Steelers and haven’t looked back from the safety position since. which is also fine, but in reality if the Bills take a S in the first round with the other needs we have I think it’s a HUGE MISTAKE, and I’m pretty sure most would agree. im not saying there is anything wrong with Dejean. But I think it’s apparent that it’s not a guarantee what position he is best suited for in the NFL. And using a first rd pick on a guy that’s not considered one of the best defenders in football like both Mathieu and Fitzpatrick were coming out of college, would be a huge disappointment.

That helmet with the H is god aweful putrid. Someone should end their life for thinking of that. The red one isn’t terrible. The others look so much like the other “New Jerseys” coming out by all these teams. They all look like the same to me. A few different color options but exactly the same.

Thank you. This is where I’m at

That’s why I ensured having 4th round or higher in this trade. I’ll accept this answer. But like I said, we’re way more than just a QB away. We need many positions. The day is young. We’re not finished yet. Fwiw, I wish this was a 4 round mock where I could really see what I could get in return for my trade. But it’s not. So I guess I’ll just have to be happy with the outcome. fyi I agree we need a QB, and I didn’t hate either of the next 2, but I’m not sure the 2nd or 3rd is much different from the next 2-3 guys. We’ve all seen it before where someone like Mayfield and Darnold go before guys like Allen and Jackson. A lot of it has to do with the organization and what else is in place around them to succeed. And right now im not sure that if either of those QBs came to the Commanders with the lack of other talent, it makes them any better of a player, or as an organization as a whole.

Well. I think the difference is that Dejean is listed as a CB in college (not every year but in 2023 he was) and we’re talking about him moving around and being a tweener at multiple positions in the NFL. Where as Urlacher was the tweener in college and he played generally LB in the nfl (other than his first season). my point is this, in the first round you should be getting a guy that you think is going to be a solid starter at a specific position of need in your team. Not a Swiss Army knife that isn’t great at anything but able to do 3-4 different positions. To me, this kid looks like a go between of a safety and a CB, and will excel at special teams. I don’t see him as much more than a role player. Which is fine, but not worthy of a wasted #1 pick. And for the record, bringing up a guy like Urlacher being drafted 24 years ago would be like anyone bringing up Len Dawson being one of the best ever. Completely different times. The game has changed. Not even in the same argument.

I agree that o don’t see what makes him look so special to other people. To me he doesn’t jump off the page. I definitely wouldn’t take him in rd1. I could see a late 2nd or after for him as I think he’s a good athlete and can play multiple positions. But in the 1st rd I’m looking for a positional stud, someone that is dominant at their position. Not a guy that played one position In college but projects to something else in the pros.

Thank you. We know we’re more than just 1-2 really good players away from being competitive at this point. We liked Maye and Daniels actually and thought about both at 2. But end of the day we have a ton of top 100 picks this year and already sitting on 4 picks in the first 2 round next year will get us a QB we like if we don’t get someone this draft at 12 or maybe later.

I have my guys that I like in rds 2-4 that I think will help my team. Unfortunately for me, I won’t get a chance to draft them as we won’t get past rd1 before Thursday. But I do have ammo and am looking to trade back into the 1st rd to get potential players I am looking at. So if people are interested in moving back, the Commanders are all ears and have a buttload of picks.

The Washington Commanders are pleased with the outcome of this trade. They would have preferred another 2nd in this years draft but Denver didn’t have it. But as of right now the Commanders are sitting pretty to rebuild their franchise with the following picks in this years draft. 12 36 40 67 76 78 100 121 136 139 147 152 222 2025 2x1st rounders 2x2nd rounders

Just an fyi for everyone waiting. I have submitted a trade proposal. Waiting on confirmation.

Ty. As of right now I’ll be making the pick as no trades have met the chart standards yet.

I have offers.

I will be waiting until 12 tomorrow gathering my trade offers at this point. Unless someone comes at me with an offer too good to be turned down. So far the offered I’ve received don’t even cover the draft pick trade charts. At least be close with your offers people.

Thank you @HappyDays for the early pick. @Virgil just curious if I’m required to make my pick within 3 hours or if I’m able to take until 12pm tomorrow. either way, the Washington Redskins are officially fielding trade offers at this point. Come with your best offers. Willing to hear offers including picks this year as well as next, as well as current players (assuming what’s allowed).

Are we going to get this thing moving tonight then?
