Play Commanders GM

[duncan_idaho]

So, you’re in charge of the Commanders. You just landed Eric Bienemy, have good defensive talent, and good skill players.

What are you doing to prep for this year?

I keep looking at a trade built around Chase Young.

Here’s my plan if I’m them:

1) Package Young and #16 to move up in this spring’s draft, targeting CJ Stroud if he slips (I don’t think I’d do this for Richardson or Levis). The Raiders would be a good partner if that will land them Stroud.

2) Re-sign Da’Ron Payne and build my defense around he and Allen (honestly, with two elite DTs it makes Lb and DE much easier roles to fill).

3) improve in the secondary. A rangy free safety would make sense (Thornhill? Gardner-Johnson).

4) Try to ride the last-place schedule and a new offensive scheme to a playoff berth. I do really like the building blocks of their offense … using McLaurin and Dotson on the outside, relying on Robinson as the primary back, and using Gibson as an explosive touches guy (doesn’t he seem like a good fit for the eye candy stuff the Chiefs have been doing?).

Did you watch him against Georgia?

Snyder’s in the process of selling the team.

I’d be surprised if they’re making big signing bonus commitments with that in the works.

I don't like Stroud as a QB prospect, and I don't think the Commanders can get a draft pick that will allow them to get Will Levis.

One thing is for sure, though-- I'd get Wentz the **** off the team. Even as a backup. The guy is bad news bears.

I don't think there's anything wrong with Heineke, really. I wouldn't bother with a high priced QB, I'd just roll with Heineke and beef up that OL-that's really the problem, in my opinion.

Heineke's stats are perfectly decent for a game manager type. He won't be the reason you win, but he isn't why you lose, either.

Taylor Heinicke is a free agent next year and not sure what his final price tag will be. Spotrac.com says his market value is 3-year, $19.8M per year. That seems high to me.

Heinicke has a 12-12-1 record as a starter in the NFL. In the last two years he has thrown for 5,278 yards and 32 TDs. He will be 30 years old in March.

I think he would be a very good backup QB in the NFL but not sure of him as the starter. I certainly would not invest close to $20M in him.

Washington might bring him back, but I think they really want to see what Sam Howell can do as a starting QB.
