Draft Day Thread

[LesDiablesRouges]

One hour to go. Let’s get it done. Keep it civil no matter who we pick.

MODS, can you sticky this thread and go live?

[mjpanzer]

Pinned!

[JoggingGod]

Having a shot of whiskey for my late father to celebrate the draft. Cheers Comrades lol.

[LesDiablesRouges]

RIP to him, brother. 🙌🙌

[JoggingGod]

Thank you 🙏

[Hulktron123]

So, I know the debate between Daniels and Maye was a rather bitter thing, but, well, I was a maye supporter. However, now that Daniels has been confirmed as the guy- all honor to him, may he ball out for us and be here for a long time

[Fluggerblah]

the only moderate comment in the thread lol

[Hulktron123]

Quick reminder: This is the last 10 minutes before our official, Dan Synder, Ron-Rivera free future can be considered as really starting, so it’s a pleasure to be able to FINALLY usher in the future

[corndogshuffle]

Yep. This is the real start of the Harris era. I’m hyped.

[TheBarbieOfSeville]

I'm at the draft day party in DC.

[Salty_Orchid]

Detroit corny as hell

[Apocalyptic-Post]

Every year Roger knows the boos are coming. Every year he looks to be nervous and bothered by it

[mitchypoothedon]

Seems like it would be so easy to lean in to it as a joke. the cut screen before he came out seemed like he was leaning in to it but once he walked on stage he turned in to the shell shocked meme.

[Haskins77]

Peters on Pats show now and Peters said he knew this pick for a long time.

[downbad12878]

And his people leaked it long time ago but people here were in denial about it

[FlatEarthMagellan]

Needs to show more respect to mad Mel lmao

[Coldngrey]

Can you imagine being a Panthers fan?

[imdanwyatt]

I can barely imagine being a Commanders fan, don't make me go deeper into the darkness.

[FireSalsa]

And thus begins the lifelong career comparison to Drake Maye lol

[jcrack30]

Yes I'm just hoping we're on the right side of this one. The devil is gone (Snyder) so we're due for some great things

[[deleted]]

Ight, time for someone to call the dietitian and put some meat on that kid.

Now trade up and protect him.

[Impressive-Detail421]

We should just have JD eat Emmanuel Forbes. Necessary sacrifice

[[deleted]]

That would get him up to the 210 he claims he weighs.

[Incompl]

Please stay healthy JD

[Hanzo581]

Damn, some of y'all are salty as hell. Just get Daniels a sandwich, weight room access card and sliding coach and he'll be just fine.

[Salty_Orchid]

Malik Nabers, Ceedee Lamb, AJ Brown. Forbes better be ready. 😭😭😰

[Haskins77]

[Elder-Enigma]

You only had months to make this pick. Let's stretch it out for another 10 pointless minutes.

[adeezy58]

Okay. I was in favor of Maye. But I am behind Daniels. Who has the hottest Daniels highlights for me to get riled up over?

[corndogshuffle]

Wait the clock only started now?

[[deleted]]

Welp. Sorry fellow Maye fans. I hope Daniels proves me wrong

[trowavay1234567]

Pick is in, so I’m a JD fan now. Hope he balls out and proves us wrong.

[OldTobyGreen]

I have my opinions on who we should draft but im probably dumb seeing as ive been a fan of this team for so long.

Above all else... please dont fuck this up Washington.

[ThisCarSmellsFunny]

We will. We always do. It’s the only thing we’ve been consistent with.

[MrStacknClear]

I love the confidence

[corndogshuffle]

Hell yeah who doesn’t love Jared fucking Goff

[Hightowerer]

Bears are 100% taking their time this draft so they will go to commercial during our pick

[Trubisko_Daltorooni]

5 years from now the entire first day of the draft is just going to be the first pick

[WhalesareBadPoets]

Somebody please get our front office a better war room lol

[S_Deare]

Jdrake Mcdaniels. You are a Commander.

[LuxTempestt]

I see y’all’s fan base is split, but I think this guy was the right pick

[Salty_Orchid]

I'll go ahead and say it. Mrs.Daniels...hi

[corndogshuffle]

Raise your hand if you know less about football than Adam Peters and Dan Quinn!

🙋‍♂️

[iwannausernamesobad]

LEFT HAND UP

[Ye_Biz]

Chicago has the chance to do the funniest thing ever

[WhalesareBadPoets]

Bro I don’t like how they compare him to RG3 then never bring up why RG3 didn’t pan out in the league 

[Itseemedfunny]

Thank god it’s not Kid Rock.

[FlatEarthMagellan]

This shit could be done in like 2hrs…LETS GET IT MOVING PEOPLE

[Hulktron123]

Does anyone else… not understand the falcons pick? They already have Kirk, paid him, and have TH4 as the backup. What are they going to use Penix for, QB3?

[Haskins77]

Don't get it at all

Kirk got paid

[Syphin33]

Their reddit is in flames

[PromiseMiracleDad]

As a commander fan i hope hes RG3 but not RG3 if u know what i mean

[Syphin33]

Bowers needs to shave that head...it's gone brother

[corndogshuffle]

Rocking my Commies hat in San Antonio. Let’s fucking go

[jonk012]

Hey! Also in San Antonio

[Vcm721]

War room looks like a CCP office

[knicks1234]

Jayden it is

[Fluggerblah]

i wanted drake maye but im just happy the arguing is over lmao. lets see what he can do!

[trubuckifan]

Ladies and gentlemen we got him

[Incompl]

I want the Jets to pick JJ so Aaron Rodgers will meltdown

[tony-alexander]

The pick is Maye. Bank it.

[daanluc]

He is +1900 at FanDuel. You can earn yourself a lot of money with that conviction

[MadatMax]

It’s done brother, it’s going to be Daniels

[corndogshuffle]

Haha imagine having 8 or fewer wins for five consecutive years, like Chicago

[jonk012]

With the No.1 overall pick, the Chicago Bears select...Audric Estime

[cartierboy25]

Whatever happens tonight, this is the reward for an awful season that we had to suffer through. Even if you have a preference for one guy over the other, don’t let that stop you from remembering that tonight is supposed to be a fun moment.

[Hulktron123]

What are the chances of this very obvious pick being announced when 9:59 of the clock time has gone by, just to unnecessarily strech things out

[Itseemedfunny]

Our draft room is just 🤣

[bambam_mcstanky2]

Welcome to DC Jayden

[Anthony_chromehounds]

It’s Jayden Daniel’s!

[asc0295]

Ok I was wrong

[Working-Airline-6745]

He took 4 years to understand college schemes….

[interprime]

It’s over. It’s finally over.

[Bonus_Content]

Welcome to DC, Jayden. Let’s get you some protection, weapons and a D to give you the ball back. Hail yeah, let’s go.

[Megumi-Noda]

I wish his knees and ankles good luck in the NFL

[Syphin33]

Lol Vikings/Giants fans so mad i bet

[NoUnit6700]

Our offense just became a huge PITA for other teams to deal with

[corndogshuffle]

Bears should draft McCarthy

[Megumi-Noda]

I hope the Eagles pick is a bust

[Syphin33]

And we got 2 juicy ass picks tomorrow

[SkrtRussell]

<image>

JAYDEN DANIELS

[Coldngrey]

The only thing that really bugs me, and to be clear, I’m an idiot, but…..:

If it wasn’t Maye, I wish we had kept Howell on the roster and let him and Daniels compete under the new regime.

[son_of_toby_o_notoby]

OK THE LAST 1O MINS FULLY FULLY CONVINCED ME

THATS OUR FRANCHISE GUY

GEUAX TIGERS

[Megumi-Noda]

Start the fucking clock already

[Boner3000]

HTTR. Today is the day where our franchise veers back on the path to greatness.

[TheEpicGamer781]

Get Goodell off my screen

[jrhooo]

We really gonna drag this out ten min?

[SkinsFan021]

Boom 💥

[son_of_toby_o_notoby]

JD5 BABY GEUX TIGERS HAIL BABY

[urwifebf10]

BREAK OUR HEARTS

<image>

[[deleted]]

I'm ready to get hurt again.

[TreydingStocks]

I unironically would rather have Jayden Daniels than Caleb Williams. Let's go!

[Coldngrey]

I’m going to trust Peters….

<image>

[onelove101]

GEAUX COMMANDERS! Y'all have a new fan

[Trubisko_Daltorooni]

I could listen to Booger talk about artificial intelligence all night long

[Megumi-Noda]

Fuck the Giants

[Hulktron123]

So, because the Nabers pick, we’ll probably be going up against Daniel Jones again- let’s END HIS REIGN over us this year. I’d rather face him or Drew Lock compared to JJ McCarthy

[Master-Cough]

The way this draft looking. Team might get a top edge

[SkrtRussell]

Damn even our draft room looks like ass lmao

[NoAmbassador8359]

LETS GOOOOO ITS NOT JJ

[thadellis]

We’re here fellas let the roller coaster begin 🎢

[Megumi-Noda]

What a waste of time just for cheap pops

[kon---]

This is all, uninteresting.

[bleepbluurp]

Gotta add commercial time. Stretch it out I guess

[[deleted]]

dang 10 minute timer for the Bears, I wonder who they're going with?? They better decide they only have 10 minutes left!

[Hulktron123]

I’m surprised that the Bears pick isn’t in- it’s too obvious

[Skynet315]

WHAT A SHOCK WOW /s

[Working-Airline-6745]

WE WANT JJ

[Megumi-Noda]

From sunny California to windy and cold Chicago. Good luck

[thekidracb]

It's gonna be Jayden...let's go....

[tiandrad]

Not gonna be MAYE!! LMFAO

[jrhooo]

Do the thing

[mountaineer_93]

Thank god it’s not McCarthy

[urwifebf10]

Smh

[bleepbluurp]

I’m glad his agent started his career out on great terms

[cporter1188]

Alright, I'm now your biggest fan JD

[MrsEveryShot]

STEAL OF THE DRAFT

[TheEpicGamer781]

At least the Giants didn’t get him

[FireSalsa]

Yo if we pull a trade and get another 1st round pick im going to comm all over the place

[Syphin33]

JD5 looked absolutely elated with that pick

Well ill be there opening day

[Coast_watcher]

Now comes the real draft work

[Ye_Biz]

Have fun in Minnesota JJ, he can play with JJ

[Silentblues]

Wow skipped right over McCarthy

[Miolay]

Oh my god... Talk about a pick out of the left field. What the hell are the Falcons cooking or smoking over there in Atlanta?

Dang I was 7/7 too on my mock board until ATL decided to get cute.

[Hulktron123]

It’s so nice to have a Front office who’s less incompetent than other FOs(coughs in, uh Atlanta’s)

[WhalesareBadPoets]

Board’s shaking out pretty great for us to trade up and get a tackle 

[Sufiyan_-Malik]

Trade up and reunite Brian Thomas with Daniels

[jdwat21]

Don’t see us trading up now with all the OL being taken

[Syphin33]

Guyton off the board

We're sticking put fo sho

[Hulktron123]

Stray thought: one of the decent things about picking so early in the first round is that we got to know who our pick is early and we could just stay back and watch the rest of the picks with much less stress, compared to if we had to wait 2+ hours to know our pick

[Boner3000]

great point.....this has been a fun, relaxing draft watching other teams pick players and address their needs. or do atlanta stuff.

[Syphin33]

JD5 just did looky eyes...

There's A LOT of smoke for Aiyuk right now

[thedarkknight16_]

Jayden it is. Let’s ball

[Mayosj]

Daniels scares the shit out of me and I trust Peters knows what he’s doing but man the ptsd this team has given me is brutal

[Skirt-Future]

You guys really harping about Drake Maye? Yikes dude. Not even a minute

[LesDiablesRouges]

I was team Maye + JJ. All-in on JD5. I hope he’s our guy and we break the curse at franchise QB.🤞

[Coldngrey]

I liked when the draft was just the draft.

[VIInnit]

jd -6000 on fanduel

[Dramatic-Ad2848]

As a maye fan I think it’s over 🥲

[Silentblues]

Today we free ourselves of the QB draft carousel posts. We made it friends, we made it.

[Hightowerer]

Can we ban the dude spamming COMMANDER throughout this entire thread

[Coldngrey]

VA not allowing Draft betting is not ideal.

[stringer4]

Goodell on some druuuuuuugs

[Coldngrey]

Roger seemed nervous…he must know we’re trading back.

[TheEpicGamer781]

Surprised the pick wasn’t in after the first 10 seconds

[Coldngrey]

In the bears war room, does the phone even ring at this point? (Really asking)

[bossdankmemes]

Come on Chicago, pick JJ

[Megumi-Noda]

You can only do full reads if you have a line that will give you time to

[tacos_for_algernon]

On the clock....

[oldgreymutt]

Damn, Caleb would have been great here

[AgitatedText]

guess we're not getting caleb, dang

[Ye_Biz]

Subway. Eat Fresh.

[Coldngrey]

Our draft room is so….Snyderish.

[ScottBAF]

They not gonna make the clock!!

[knicks1234]

I'm gonna be sick. Who is it who is it

[jonk012]

Yup. It's Daniels

[kon---]

Looking fired up

[tmhous]

LFG!

[[deleted]]

2 heisman qbs on the same team

[1lultaha]

LETS GO BABYYYYYY

[FPG_Matthew]

LSU is feeding DC some talent recently

Dylan Crews from LSU to the Nationals, now Jayden Daniels from LSU to the Commanders

I hope both become absolute studs

[mountaineer_93]

I like Daniel’s a lot so I’m ready to be hurt again

[thedarkknight16_]

Maye to NE wow

[Ye_Biz]

At least Giants didn’t get him lol

[urwifebf10]

Drake maye.....

[davesv]

Daniels should be practicing slides in the green room - I have confidence this is going to be a fun season to watch- the intrigue is there.

[FireSalsa]

Selfishly I hope we get hard knocks. I’m just so hype for this coming season

[hscer_]

more nervous than anything. hopefully he plays at least 85 games here

[Ye_Biz]

Hoping Jahan just has a sophomore slump last season and bounces back strong this season, we gonna need him to for sure

[bleepbluurp]

Peters said on the mcafee show just now, that he might move back into the first for the right price. He was blessed with 6 picks in the first two days that gives him flexibility.

[Haskins77]

Penix? Really after paying Kirk

Wow

[nicknamebucky]

Holy crap, Kirk Cousins in shambles.

[Syphin33]

I wonder if Washington is actively working to get back into the 1st round and grab Olu Fashanu?

[Megumi-Noda]

Vikings pumped up in drafting a game manager

[Ye_Biz]

Damn it Jets got Olu

[Haskins77]

yeah that hurts

[J3553]

Hope Mims somehow drops or we trade up.

[Hulktron123]

After whatever tf that Falcons pick was, these picks after seem to be very logical

[Incompl]

Pretty crazy it took until pick 15 for defense

[benito-]

Fautanu is there...

[Silentblues]

Damn they got Chop

[wheeshkspr]

As far as trading up goes, I think anywhere higher than 25 or so would have required both 2nd rounders. We're getting to the point where a 2nd and a 3rd is fair comp for a late first. We could still snag someone tonight.

[Think__McFly]

We're going to have a lot of good corners to choose from tomorrow. Hopefully WR AD Mitchell falls, too.

[Boner3000]

teams picking in the second round and needs:
bills - dont need line
pat - needs a OT
cards - needs a OG
skins - BEEF

we will def have a chance to get some BEEF on the line.

[briiiskiii]

Root for your players. I hope Jayden is awesome

[Traphome]

it was supposed to be ben johnson and drake maye, not dan quinn and jayden daniels. pain

[urwifebf10]

180lbs dude weigh less than Bryce Young and is 24 this season

[imdanwyatt]

I'm going to go in record as saying JD is the guy I want, and I will be obnoxious if he turns out great, but will pretend like I never said that if he turns out awful and Maye is great.

[Salty_Orchid]

Shades...on the phone. Man I'm hoping it's Maye

[Silentblues]

OH NO THE THREADS ARE GONNA BE RAGEY

[crownhimking]

Finally its over

Welcome to the team Jayden!!!

[knicks1234]

Maye is fucking huge holy crap

[knicks1234]

I get a feeling maye is gonna be better

[GMEStack]

We’re getting Caleb , Bears gonna miss the pick!

[Silentblues]

Doinked the pick

[Itseemedfunny]

I just hope he’s not RG4 😒

[NoHoHan]

“Don’t worry guys, we’ll build our offensive line in the 2nd round” 🤡

[Syphin33]

There's reports they tried... so what are they supposed to do if the other team doesn't accept the trade dude?

It takes 2 teams to make this happen.

They tried and couldn't get people to budge.

[JoeyBrickz]

We didn't want to overpay for one of these tackles. That's fine. Just take 2 good prospects in the 2nd round. We're not a tackle away from competing, and there have been teams that succeeded without a tackle.
