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?).
