Kyle Pitts and OJ Howard were both top-10 TE picks by the Falcons and Bucs. Howard was a bust (and I think out of the league) and Pitts has been a massive disappointment so far. They both were seen as incredible prospects. TE might be the hardest position in the entire NFL to project. Greg Olsen was a 1st rounder who showed some flashes, but he didn't really flourish until he came here. Many TEs have their best seasons several seasons in... just far too many unknowns for a team that still has so many major needs.

Vegas had the preseason projection for Washington at 6.5 wins last year. I feel more confident that we will exceed that number than any time since before the 2019 season

I remember hearing good things about Nick Scott and the whole safety group coming into the season. I had expected this to be a good group. Fuller especially was hyped up. And then Jordan Fuller, Xavier Woods, and Nick Scott all were hot garbage. Demand Richardson ended up getting playing time over these bums. Nick Scott for depth & ST? Why not i guess, but safety is still one of our biggest needs

Wonnum and Clowney also. Still need another guy who can dependable rush the passer. There were times last year Huddlers could have provided about as much pass rush as we were getting out there

We still need to add another WR or Edge before the draft. I will feel pretty good about just taking BPA in that scenario. If we can find 2-3 impact players from the draft, this could be the best team we've seen in some time

Nothing, literally nothing would make me happier. But I'll settle for Tee Higgins

You need 2 starting caliber RBs and I don't want to waste a high draft pick on one. Could we get lucky and get a guy in the later rounds? Absolutely, but why take the risk when we signed a proven RB with the money we saved from cutting Miles Sanders. We're still almost certainly going to draft at least one RB and probably add another undrafted guy. This was objectively a good move

Lord knows I don't agree with you on everything, but you are spot on about the bust rate for TEs drafted high. It's simply too high to justify it on a roster that still needs significant defensive help. I know Warren is a great prospect, but it would be criminal to pass on the Edge talent that will be available at 8 given our needs.

JT Sanders is on year 2 of a 4th round rookie deal also. Not bad resource allocation at all IMHO. The TE market is bone-thin. And Tremble has shown far more promise than Ian Tomas ever did. Tremble is by all accounts and incredible teammate and hopefully an ascending player. I think him and Sanders and a decent young TE pair, and i still think we add another TE either FA or the draft

Austin Corbett was playing at an elite level and the Oline was a top 5 unit with him out there. He also has been an iron man in terms of playing before these last 2 injuries. I think people need to see the numbers before they freak out. Does anyone really want to not have a good Oline again next year? I genuinely don't understand the hate for this move

Not resigning him is one of the worst mistakes Fitterer made. He was better than Burns when he was here. I understand being wary of signing him for too much money. But he would be a nice addition IMHO

I would be 100% down if he signed a reasonable deal. He was electric here and in Philly. Not sure what happened last year with NYJ but would love to have him on 1 year deal

100% agree. This line could be Top 5 with a healthy Corbett

This is good news, as long as the deal is team friendly. Corbett has been rock solid, even at Center, when healthy. TD had 3 ACL tears and still had a Hall of Honor career here with multiple Pro Bowls and an All-Pro. The injuries suck, but it's nothing that has been career threatening. He's been an above average player when healthy. If he's willing to structure a deal to protect the team, I'm 100% on board.

100% true. And I'm a Cam fan. He came into a roster in 2011 that was much, much better than the 2023 roster, especially on offense.

I've been on this board for damn near 20 years, and this is one of the most insightful and spot-on posts of all time! Could not agree more

Matt Rhule really thought looking like a slob was endearing... Got to give the man credit... somehow he has convinced multiple people to throw millions of dollars at him

Yep. He could have went really negative and demanded out after all the crap he's had to deal with here over the past 2 seasons. The fact that he wants to be here and lead this team back to respond speaks volumes about him as a teammate and leader

100%. If anything, he will restructure/extend for cap purposes

If i has to guess, IMO the odds would be a restructure to his contract to free up cap, but this could just be athlete talk. I think 100% he's playing & will be on the team this year. I do expect there will be several restructures coming up (Moton definitely) to free up cap space. I also think we will be at least as active in FA this year as last. We still need a WR1, but if we can add one, having XL, Coker, and Theilen as WR2, WR3, and WR4 would constitute the best receiving corp I can remember since pre-Cam

We need to sign and draft someone. Shy Tuttle has been dog poo. One of the biggest needs on a team that could not stop the run over & over & over again even when they knew it was coming.

Hurting our 2nd round pick unfortunately. Darnold letting us down and costing us draft position yet again...

Donte Jackson looks awful out there... I know he's had a pretty good season but this is bad... real bad

Honestly would rather end the season on a high note like we did they endure something like this and miss out on a higher draft pick.

By the end of the year, with basically practice squaders out there they absolutely could. 300 easy. We gave up 200 to almost every team all year
