The Washington Commanders' Draft War Chest: Overflowing or Overhyped?
Ah, the Washington Commanders. A team perpetually stuck in "maybe next year" purgatory. But hey, at least they have one thing going for them this year: a whole heck of a lot of draft picks!
That's right, folks. We're talking enough draft capital to build a new stadium... out of slightly-used rookies. But before you start prepping your "Welcome to D.C., Kid" signs, let's dissect this pick pile like it's a treasure chest overflowing with... well, hopefully not busts.
How Many Picks Do The Washington Commanders Have |
How Many Picks Do They REALLY Have?
Hold onto your hats, fantasy football fanatics, because the answer is a whopping NINE. That's right, nine potential future franchise cornerstones, or at least enough guys to fill out a decent kickball team.
Here's the breakdown:
Tip: Use the structure of the text to guide you.
- Round 1: Pick #2 (This one's a biggie, folks. Like, franchise-altering biggie.)
- Round 2: Picks #36 & #40 (Double trouble in the second round!)
- Round 3: Picks #67 & #100 (Because two is never enough, apparently.)
- Rounds 4 & 6: MIA (Missing In Action) (Yeah, they traded those away. Sorry, Sam Howell fans.)
- Round 5: Picks #137 & #152 (Hey, every team needs a good long snapper, right?)
- Round 7: Pick #219 (The "diamond in the rough" territory. Or maybe just a rough diamond.)
So, What Does This Mean for the Commanders?
This, my friends, is a team at a crossroads. With nine picks, they have the potential to completely reshape their roster. Think offensive line overhaul, a lockdown secondary, or maybe even a receiving corps that doesn't make Carson Wentz cry.
But here's the rub: Having a ton of picks doesn't guarantee success. Remember the year they drafted Robert Griffin III with the second overall pick? Yeah, me neither. (Okay, I do, but let's not dwell on the past.)
The key for the Commanders will be hitting on those draft picks. No pressure, right?
