Answering questions from commanders’ fans, including where this year’s draft classifications compared to the rest of the division.
Ashburn, Virginie – During the classification of draft courses, like the commanders of Washington in 2025 compared to the rest of the NFC East, there are a few things to remember.
First, the quality of the choices had things, so for commanders to choose n ° 29 in the first round this year, it is much more likely that teams like the New York Giants, whose first selection arrived at No. 3, will be considered much better.
There is also the question of the holes to be filled. When you write later like Washington, you probably don’t have that, let’s say, the Dallas cowboys who were in 12th place.
The Mailbag, which is locked this week, tried to classify the East NFC division project classes, using this understanding along the way, and left with the following results.
Cam asks: who has moved the needle the most in the NFC East, including the commanders, but you must be impartial.
This is an excellent question, and for the record, we are always impartial. Even if we prefer a result, we let the data speak of itself.
Now, we have not taken a super detailed analytical overview of the classes to arrive here, but we used a digital scale promoting the quality of the choices concerning how the class of each team could have an impact on the franchise in the first year.
In the end, the cowboys left with the most score class, the commanders and the giants equaled second place, and the Eagles of Philadelphia came last.
Well, Dallas, Washington and New York all wrote two caliber players in the first round, at least according to the opinion of the popular analyst and the fact that the players were taken on day 1. We say like that because, even if the Giants exchanged for the quarter-Arrière Jaxson Dart the first night, we think it was considered a talent of day. Credit. After all, it is not as if they did it right to get another notch in this email bag response, right? RIGHT?
Continuing, we then measured the number of players who appear to have important roles in playing time or the impact, and the cowboys left with four, while the commanders and New York had each, and Philadelphia left with two, and a “ psades p ‘the players gets it.
Finally, the more each class team found an impact player, the better the score. Dallas made Texas operate, Jaydon Blue, which appears in an important role in the back field in the fifth round, taking the maximum points of this category.
Add everything and a combination of good players seized and opportunities available through alignment holes, means that the class in Dallas projects as the best in April.
The real measure of a class cannot be taken before at least three years on the road, however, they are certainly subject to change.
Several people asked: who are post-reficed free agents to keep an eye?
Can we say that the botter Matt Gay and claim the victory on this subject afterwards? No. It’s fair. We wouldn’t have said its name anyway. More about it in a little.
We will discuss two veteran tip defenders who have been raised in one of these free agent issues: Za’darius Smith and Von Miller.
The two men are up at age, so we are talking about a year-long transactions for a ton of money and a chance to claim or relocate the glory of the Super Bowl depending on the one to sign.
Each man has a history known to cause problems in the back of the opponents, and both still have a good amount of energy to spend on the ground looking at his most recent band.
That being said, it is not likely that commanders would like to count on one or the other as the only presence of the edge on their side, therefore judging him of one of them with the new secondary Jacob Martin in rotational relations seems to be a possibility if one of the veterans would land in Washington.
Beyond these two, the seconds Ja’whaun Bentley, formerly New England Patriots, and Kyzir White, formerly of Arizona cardinals, would be intriguing options to help, but the two could look for more important roles than the commanders cannot offer.
Joy asks: How do you feel about Zane Gonzalez Parte?
Earlier this week, Washington signed the botter Matt Gay and released the botter Zane Gonzalez.
Several fans have expressed us a level of surprise that Gay and Gonzalez were not both kept in order to facilitate competition in this position.
We assume that the team wanted to do by Gonzalez and offer them the possibility of finding a new job with a better situation after its target rate in the field of 86% (regular and combined after-season) and an additional rate at 100% in 2024.
With these figures, why would the team make the gay outing and directly Gonzalez? A source inside the team told Wusa9 that it seems that the team just likes gay more, as simple as that.
Entering weeds on it, perhaps, is the fact that Gay and Gonzalez have very similar career totals, but have a very great thing that separates them: the strength of the legs.
To put it lightly, Gay has a cannon for a leg.
Despite his entry into the NFL two years after Gonzalez, Gay was called by the various teams for which he was launched to try 45 goals on the ground at 50 meters or more. Gonzalez, in comparison, tried only 19.
Gonzalez’s kicks at this distance are around 58%, and the gay accuracy of this range is 62%.
Until we ask the chief coach Dan Quinn later this month, we will not know it with certainty, but it at least holds water that we may see a configuration in 2025 where Washington does not go fourth in the range of goals on the ground, if the range of goals on the ground is closer than 2024.
