Home of Washington Redskins Fans Since 1679
Did the Washington make the right decision drafting wideout Antonio Williams? It’s the question many fans have after the Commanders selected the Clemson Tigers’ wide receiver with the seventh overall pick of the third round. More importantly, their selection ignited the run of wide receivers in that round, where a total of nine went off […]
Editor’s note: Everyone’s excited about the Commanders’ NFL Draft haul. Rightfully so. That doesn’t mean each selection will slot into a prominent role as a rookie. We’ll discuss realistic expectations for each player over the next few days, leading into Commanders rookie minicamp. We’ll get started, naturally, with a certain off-the-ball linebacker from Ohio State: LB Sonny Styles, Ohio State Selection: No. 7 overall Height/Weight: 6-foot-5/244 pounds What Adam Peters said: “Sonny’s a gu...
The NFL Draft is over. Now it’s time to pick it apart. That’s how we’ll kill some time until rookie minicamps and NFL schedule release, taking deeper dives into the picks each team made and why. We already know that the Washington Commanders were generally lauded for their selections, and the value acquired despite having just six picks. Sharp Football Analysis wrote a whole story on it, which you […]
With the first two waves of free agency and the NFL draft in the books, media and fans are beginning to project how the Commanders 53-man roster will look come early fall. Below is my way-too-early 53-man roster prediction and color-coded key rating the players from Blue Chip down to Rookie. Offense: 24 The Commanders […]
Commanders links Articles Bullock’s Film Room (subscription) What edge rusher Joshua Josephs brings to the Washington Commanders The Washington Commanders selected edge rusher Joshua Josephs out of Tennessee with their fifth round pick. Josephs is an interesting prospect because many draft analysts had him rated as high as a third round pick. At 6-foot-3, 242 […]
In keeping with the annual tradition, I’m giving out week-after draft grades, about three years before we can say anything intelligent about most of the players Adam Peters drafted last weekend. Snap draft grades are purely for entertainment purposes. But feel free to share strong opinions about our strong opinions. That’s part of the fun. […]
The Commanders have tons of salary-cap space. There’s $49.5 million available, as a matter of fact. That’s the second most in the NFL, with $42.7 million free even after they pay Sonny Styles and the rest of the 2026 NFL draft class. In other words, general manager Adam Peters can make some moves if they see fit. This roster still has holes, especially following […]
I was in the Northwest Stadium tunnels when Jayden Daniels sent a high volley skyward towards the end zone, furiously typing what I assumed would be a Bears victory recap for the Chicago media outlet I worked for. There was a postgame show to join right after the clocks ran out, offering no time to […]
Commanders links Articles The Athletic (paywall) A closer look at the Washington Commanders’ roster after the NFL Draft Edge rusher This is where the Commanders have focused much of their attention — and money — during the offseason. They certainly got younger and more athletic, but the group lacks long-term depth, which means they’ll be […]
With the 2026 NFL draft in the books, it’s time for the annual tradition of giving out snap draft grades. Instant draft grades are entirely silly, since everyone knows that it takes a few years to see how the players turn out. But that doesn’t stop anyone from having strong opinions about how the GM […]
The time right after the NFL draft can seem chaotic, either reports about undrafted free agent signings coming from multiple sources, some more reliable than others. A lot of players have deals in place before the draft ends, and others are only given an invite to a rookie mini-camp to try to grab a spot […]
Sonny Styles is the Washington Commanders newest 1st-round pick, and he’s already a big deal in D.C. He will sign a contract soon to join a team that is totally revamping its defense, and Styles is expected to be a big part of that transformation. He was a leader at Ohio State, and will be […]
As is true for most discussions about sports, there is no single criterion for judging the quality of a team’s NFL draft class. There are, however, a number of concepts — some actually contradictory — that get applied. Fulfilling team needs Mock drafters, in particular, tend to focus on the concept of ‘need’, by which […]
The NFL draft concluded this past Saturday with the Commanders adding six new players to the team. Adam Peters entered the draft with just two top 100 picks and Washington didn’t make any trades, instead choosing to stand pat and pick at each selection. Below is my review of our selections followed by my grades […]

The Washington Commanders have completed their 2026 draft, selecting six players, 4 on offense and 2 on defense. This brings the offseason roster to 81 players. The offseason limit is 91 players, including the team’s International Pathway Program player, former rugby player-turned-pass-rusher T.J. Maguranyaanga, which means that Washington will be looking to add ten more […]
One last mock draft roundup? Yes one last mock draft roundup, this time looking at the way too early projections for Washington’s 1st round draft pick in 2027. The mock drafters think Washington will be slightly more successful than last season, with a draft range from #8-29(WalterFootball is the outlier). Vegas has also set expectations […]
Monte Coleman was an 11th-round draft pick who went on to play 16 seasons in the NFL, and win 3 Super Bowls with the Washington Redskins. The University of Arkansas Pine Bluff announced that Coleman has passed away at the age of 68. No cause of death was provided. Coleman was a staple of the […]

There is a long tradition of people giving draft picks a grade less than 24 hours after they’ve been made. Some of them are spot on after the players have shown who they are after a few years in the league, and some of them look pretty bad. A lot of graders get stuck on […]
The Commanders didn’t have many selections available this NFL Draft, but they took all six on time and as scheduled. Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles was selected on Thursday at No. 7. Clemson receiver Antonio Williams was taken at No. 71 the following day. Every other draft pick came Saturday in the fifth round and […]
The Washington Commanders currently held six draft picks heading into the 2026 NFL Draft, with only two of them coming in the first two rounds. Last offseason, they made a major move, trading four draft picks to the Houston Texans for star left tackle Laremy Tunsil. That included their second and fourth-round picks in the […]
The 2026 NFL Draft is officially over and Washington has added 6 new players to their roster. The Commanders entered the draft with 6 picks, and general manager Adam Peters went into this draft looking to raise the talent level of the team, and that’s what he did on Day 1 of the draft. He […]

When the draft is over, the feeding frenzy for undrafted free agents begins. Reports will come out about players agreeing to terms with teams, tweets will link players to teams, and report contracts are signed. None of these reports are official until the team announces the signing in the next few days. Some players are […]
