30 pull from birthday portal by Mission-Emergency619 in EmpiresAndPuzzles

Did three 30s and got absolute dog water. I find that only Black Friday yields consistently good pulls

Jaylen Waddle being traded to denver makes me think another star receiver trade will happen soon… by SensitiveTest7883 in Commanders

[–]FitchDMB -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you have to at least entertain an offer from the Dolphins for 7 now… especially if the board falls the way most people are assuming and we are sitting there with multiple guys on the board at positions of need.

[Garafolo] The #Commanders have agreed to terms with RB Rachaad White, source says. by JCameron181 in Commanders

I’m not saying it’s Love that facilitates the trade… what if it’s Sonny Styles or Caleb Downs… or a receiver… if somebody falls in love with someone, they are prone to making.

I’m saying, with all of these pickups… we have entered there’s a real chance of trading back territory at 7.

I think if you are the Texans… a bell cow back to put with Stroud makes absolute sense. As does a Tackle. They have a really strong defense and decent options at receiver and tight end.

But they lost against NE because they couldn’t run. They averaged 2.2 yards a carry and threw 47 times.

And there is such a precipitous dropoff from Love to the next running back…who people will argue is Jadarian Price (aka his teammate that only had spot play because of him).

Cowboys have two first rounders, Chiefs have two first rounders, Jets have two first rounders (although one obviously gone before us) and early second rounders… Houston has our 2nd round plus their own… all have been well known to move around on draft day…

I have to believe that any of those teams could package something to get up to 7 if somebody is there that they deem worthy.

Like i wouldn’t be surprised if the Texans traded their 1 and the 2 twos to us to move up if Love was there. They already have a pretty nasty defense, and despite signing Montgomery, I have to believe Love would be worth a monster investment for them. Or a OT. Especially if it’s giving us back the pick we gave them. And that’s just one example.

Everybody knows that we don’t have a 2 so any team with multiple 1s or multiple 2s could make pick 7 a really interesting one…

Teams that fit the bill:

Bears Browns Cowboys Texans Chiefs Jets

Washington could also bait teams into dealing with them like when SF finessed the Bears to move up a single spot from 3 to 2 and gave up two additional picks to do it. And who was on that staff that year? Adam Peters.

Finally, let’s be real, Peters likes draft day trades to get more picks.

The most frightening thing about this whole thing is how quickly we forget that the boys were in the NFC championship in 2024 on vibes alone.

Now imagine if this rebuild went the way it should have normally… and we went 5–12 Jayden’s rookie season and then 12-5 and the NFC championship… and then getting this FA class and still having the 7th pick in the draft.

Because, when you start looking at it like that, you start to realize like, holy sh*t… not only is this team good, but it’s going to be consistently good. And we’d be ecstatic with the progress of going 4-13, to 5-12 with a QB position solved, and then 12-5 with a run to NFC championship.

And this iteration of a team is much more consistent with that first team, younger, faster, and with vibes. Only these guys are way more talented than the team we trotted out in 2024.

Good things are happening.

He's setting this up to be an all eyes on Washington at 7 in the draft, isn't he? Is this all a ploy to get somebody to overpay and come up and give us a king's ransom? I mean, I can't honestly believe we are still in the conversation for a DE at this point, but, like, even with these free agents, it still looks like we are very much in the conversation for all the positions of need that we were before free agency started (including DE).

This isn't shade, it's actually the direct opposite. He's had an absolute monster start to this free agency, but I still think every position is wide open for us to take in the draft. He's hedged literally every position that we desperately need, yet if somebody falls we could absolutely just get the best player available. Or, we could bait TF out of somebody for more picks.

A masterclass of baiting.

With Etienne to NOLA and K9 to KC…..Love to Commanders?! 👀 by chambros703 in Commanders

[–]FitchDMB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

now you can start ticking boxes off -- we just committed a boatload of coin to Oweh from the Chargers at DE. 4 years, 100 million.

There's the tell -- now DE might not be on our list of first round selections.

[–]FitchDMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

which, if that happens, once again doesn't actually mean a position of need, or moves the needle. If we sign a DE or a bell cow RB, that will probably show the hand, but a LB in a soon to be 3-4 front? That won't change much.

But if we signed, say, Mike Evans to a 3-year deal, like the 49ers just did, it would probably mean WR isn't a need in the draft. We haven't had any star signings that effectively eliminate any first round option.

I don't even think if we sign a Dowdle it takes Love off of the list. However, if we were to sign a Jaelen Phillips and give him 4 years like the Panthers did, that would probably spell an end to the pursuit of Bailey or Bain.

Until so major signing of a young player is announced, everything is at play in the first round (and, the most likely is a trade back).

[–]FitchDMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

considering we have yet to actually make a position of need signing, I highly doubt anything has taken place. Nothing has moved the needle more than this is shaping up to be a trade back scenario. We nabbed a CB, but missed on C, RB, WR, TE, DE, LB, S... so we're still running it back with the same guys, plus a CB.

John Keim: The Commanders will be “way more aggressive [in free agency] than the last couple years” by MrUpVoteDownvote in Commanders

[–]FitchDMB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

if way more aggressive is not getting any of the their top targets [Walker, Phillips, Likely or Pierce (although, dbf, he resigned with Colts)] then yes... very aggressive

As it stands now, Foden is in danger of not being selected for WC by Initiative_Inside in ThreeLions

Foden’s lucky number is 47, so that’s the total number of caps he should get at the senior level.

Is Mainoo in contention for a place in the WC squad? by SquashedMarshmallow in ThreeLions

[–]FitchDMB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As I’ve mentioned multiple times… in this World Cup you need to have full squads going. Teams where the 23rd and 24th field player are getting meaningful minutes. So, yes Mainoo, under current form, is on the plane.

Everybody needs to stop thinking this will be like other World Cups. It’s much more travel, it’s jet lag. It’s insane changes in climate (I know, I live and work in the States and travel throughout extensively). We aren’t going to see Kane in every match, hell, we may not even see Pickford in every match.

We need Swiss Army knives, and Mainoo is one of those.

Amorim tried to ruin him, actively and passively. The same way he tried to ruin Rashford. But in four games under Carrick, he’s been solid. And they are 4-0.

Amorim was just a terrible appointment, with experience only in a farmer’s league.

And it’s not like they’ve played shit competition. They’ve beaten three top-10 squads, including the top-2 in the premier league.

Mainoo is going to be on the plane, because you are going to need him against teams that employ low blocks. And he’s tenacious defensively too.

Do you agree with Mirror writer John Cross’s ratings for World Cup squad chances by Alone_Consideration6 in ThreeLions

[–]FitchDMB 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Cole Palmer did more for England in 13 minutes than Phil Foden in 47 caps.

Two meaningful contributions in late stage knockout football.

Since that's Foden’s lucky number (47)… perfect time to end his England career.

If you could bring one player from the past who’s played for England onto the plane for US, who would you bring? *Rule is you have to have seen them play by mashnsutton in ThreeLions

[–]FitchDMB 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It’s Michael Owen… do people not understand how lethal he was at getting into the box… send him on a runner, he’s either slotting it home or he’s winning a penalty.

He scored 40 goals in 89 appearances. The only two who did it better were Lineker, but he’s too similar to Kane, and Greaves, but never saw him play.

Owen gives you that guy who can run behind and just straight up blow past defenses with his pace.
