It is always a fluid situation in the NFL. We may get hints here and there what's going to happen in Free Agency but until March 12th, we won't know anything.
Post March 12th, you may want to ramp up your Mock Drafting. There are two sites in the sidebar for your convenience. Once Free Agency starts to define things a little, those Mox should get more accurate. You'll better know who will be in range of the Commanders in the NFL Draft and who won't be.
Kevin Sheehan on his podcast posed the question how will teams adjust to Jayden Daniels in his second year. I have no answer. I don't want them to adjust to Jayden. I will say if it's basketball on grass it would make sense to play Basketball Man to Man on Jayden. Have your guy defend the ball and not get hung up on tackling Jayden. Not that anyone tackles anymore.
Take the ball away from him like Michael Jordan doing the midcourt steal. Get in Jayden's passing lanes. Steal the ball from him like he's handing the ball off to you.
This is why teams play one on one basketball in the offseason. If your skill positions aren't doing it, they aren't going to be ready for the handball that's developing on contemporary defenses. If no one is going to tackle, you have to go at the ball. The Eagles go AT THE BALL.
I hate that. They're like cheap pickpockets robbing old ladies of valuable costume jewelry.
With teams yearning for guys who can cover man to man, one-on-one basketball is a way to ingrain ball-hawking skills in your paws. For coaches addicted to metrics, count the steals your guys get. Also how many robberies a guy gives up.
You actually want Commanders opponents having to make adjustments to the NonJaydens on the team. That will decide more games I think.
Some of the Mox Talking Heads see Shemar Stewart going to the Commanders at 29. He's a speed and power edge so I took him there.
I took Big Wideout Savion Williams from TCU at 61. I took two guys from Jayden's old team corner Zy Alexander (89) and Sai'vion Jones (148) another speed and power Edge from LSU. I took Ohio State Corner Jordan Hancock at 123.
Luke Lachey, son of former Skins Great Jim Lachey, turns out to be a good Tight End Prospect. I took him at 197. I took Oklahoma State tackle Dalton Cooper at 207. I took Nose Tackle Nazir Stackhouse (231) from Georgia and Louisville Wideout Ja'Corey Brooks (243).
Using Pro Football Network's Mock Utility, I obviously bit on a few trades. Ended up with 9 picks.
My bias is the Commander edges have to be bigger and stronger without sacrificing speed. There are some guys in the draft like that. Of course, getting Myles Garrett would cure a lot of ills. But the Browns control that situation. And it is not likely to go down, the trade, before the Draft.
Get them while they're hot, I always say.
Here's the receipt:
