The Moving Pieces at Middle Linebacker And The Draft | Washington Commanders

By Adam Aniba It seems for the short term, Washington has addressed their top need by trading for quarterback Carson Wentz. On the defensive side of the ball, MLB is still a question mark and arguably their top need. After Ron Rivera drafted Jamin Davis (48 solo tak, 3 tak for loss & 1 pass def in '21) 9th overall in 2021, Washington still finds themselves looking for a MIKE linebacker with Davis likely staying put at outside linebacker. Hopes are higher for Cole Holcomb to f

By Adam Aniba During this year's NFL Combine, the wide receivers registered some of the fastest forty times in recent memory. Although Arkansas receiver Treylon Burks didn't put up a blazing forty time, his ability to gash a defense in multiple ways was evident during his time in the SEC. His best performance in '21 came against Alabama, in which he hauled in 8 rec for 179 yards and a 1 touchdown, finishing a close loss (42-35) with 22.4 yard per catch average. Burks gave the

Terrapins Tight End Okonkwo Is Opening Eyes | NFL Draft

By Adam Aniba This year's tight end draft class is viewed as unspectacular in the Top 50. The early rounds have more questions than answers at the position, but day 3 of the draft features one prospect who impressed at the NFL Combine. Maryland tight end Chigoziem Okonkwo got the attention of combine onlookers, after running the forty-yard dash in 4.52 seconds.

By Adam Aniba The 2022 receiver Draft class is diverse and extremely fast. The OSU receivers stood out from the rest, based on the their forty-yard dash times and field drills during the NFL Combine.

Wilson showcased his ability as a big play threat in '21 with his 15.1 yards per catch averag

Making Another Run At Cooper | Washington Commanders

By Adam Aniba Washington heads into free agency with over $31 million in cap space and the potential to gain more room with contract restructures/releases. On the other side of the coin, their rival, Dallas Cowboys, are over the cap limit by more than $21 million dollars. Although Dallas will attempt to restructure contracts for additional cap room, cuts will have to be made and it likely starts with wide receiver Amari Cooper.

Versatility Is Key for Beavers | NFL Draft

By Adam Aniba This year's linebacking class features some bonafide game changers, with the versatility to play close to the line, but also drop in coverage.

Although not as highly coveted as projected 1st round linebackers Nakobe Dean (article) or Devin Lloyd,
