Washington welcomes the newest member of the family, Ben Sinnott, after making him the 53rd overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Draft day is finally here and Washington has picked Kansas State TE Ben Sinnott. This has been a popular pick for the Commanders in mock drafts, and there is a need there after cutting Logan Thomas. Washington signed veteran Zach Ertz to a 1-year deal, but their TE room is lacking in starting talent.

Washington welcomes the newest member of the family, Johnny Newton, after making him the 36th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
Draft day is finally here and Washington has picked Illinois DT Jer’Zhan “Johnny” Newton. Washington was expected to go CB or OT here, but they saw value in selecting a defensive tackle with their first pick on Day 2. Newton was considered a 1st round prospect, but offseason foot surgery(Jones fracture) likely dropped him down some team’s boards.
The Washington Commanders have had a very good defensive line after pumping first round picks into it for years. Starting...

Survey results!!
The choice of former LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels was graded with an “A” by 73% of fans following Thursday night’s first round. When you include the 18% who voted to award a “B” to Adam Peters, 91% of respondents in our survey seemed to be giving a big ‘thumbs up’ to the General Manager for his first-ever draft pick as Washington’s head of football operations.

Given that there had been months of discussion surrounding the pick, it was certainly no surprise. Those who didn’t award an...

Missed out on a trade target
There was heavy speculation that the Washington Commanders were going to try to trade back into the first round last night after selecting LSU QB Jayden Daniels with the No. 2 overall pick. The draft came and went, and there were no deals made by new GM Adam Peters, but he reportedly did attempt to trade up per Tony Pauline.
Earlier this week, I reported that the Washington Commanders would try and trade into the back end of Round 1 for Jordan Morgan, and that’s exactly what they attempted to do late last...

Pick two of the first round saw Washington land the new face-of-the-franchise in LSU quarterback Jayden Daniels. Many thought Adam Peters would move back into the second half of round one to land a left tackle, but unfortunately that did not happen.
With five picks on day two, and plenty of talent still left, this will be where the new staff can really make an impact.

Offensive Tackle
Tight End
Wide Receiver
Cornerback

I’m all about drafting with a value vs. need approach. The way things feel last night during round one, and...
