He’s going to get bigger, of course, but some teams will be scared off by his size. He ran a 4.35-second 40-yard dash at the combine but weighed in at 166 pounds, making him the lightest prospect at the position. I’m a huge fan of Forbes, who is rail thin but really fast. is 31 and on a reasonable contract through 2024 - but let’s move on to another key area: cornerback. I’m not going to rule out the possibility of a tackle here - left tackle Charles Leno Jr. We have 3 different QBs getting selected in five different mock drafts, and three of them have Washington trading up.Īnd thank you Charlie Campbell from for keeping the Bijan Robinson to Washington nonsense going for another week! Washington Commanders 2023 Draft Picksĭefense(7) Emmanuel Forbes, CB, Mississippi State ( Draft profile ) E$PN+(Kiper)īefore free agency, Washington had a massive hole at right tackle, but now that spot is filled by former Chiefs lineman Andrew Wylie, who signed a three-year deal last week. The idea of Washington trading up for a QB, or even taking one in the first round, was dying down, but the Brissett signing must have rekindled the need to mock ridiculous trades for the Commanders. Howell was QB1 heading into the offseason, but Brissett will be his competition along with any other QBs that get added. Sam Howell got some company in the QB room when Washington signed veteran Jacoby Brissett to a 1-year deal. This seems like a bad use of resources, even if Washington could use a talent infusion at the position. Ron Rivera has indicated Logan Thomas will be back this year after a down year that saw him return too soon from 2021’s torn ACL. Dalton Kincaid at #16 for the Commanders will anger a lot of fans that see OT or CB as the positions that need to be addressed in the 1st round. NFL.com’s Daniel Jeremiah also released his latest mock draft this morning, and he has Washington going offense, but not a lineman. The top four QBs, and the top three CBs and OTs are all off the board by the time Washington is on the clock at #16, which could leave them hoping for a trade down that likely won’t materialize in that situation. Kiper left several players on the board that Washington could be interested in[Deonte Banks(#17), Darnell Wright(#19). Kiper calls Mississippi State’s Emmanuel Forbes a ballhawk(14 interceptions in 3 season), that will need to add some weight at the next level(6’1”, 166 lbs). He goes with the popular position(CB), but gives the Washington Commanders a player who is still getting mocked in the 2nd round by a lot of people. This week’s roundup is led off with a new mock draft from ESPN’s Mel Kiper, Jr. They still need a lot of help as they look to climb out of the bottom of the NFC East and post the first winning record of Rivera’s career in Washington. They also claimed a CB off or waivers, tendered Jeremy Reaves, and re-signed a small group of pending free agents. Washington lost four free agents(Taylor Heinicke, Cole Holcomb, Wes Schweitzer, Cam Sims), and signed fives since the start of the legal tampering period last Monday. Teams have gone through changes big and small, and we’re starting to get a clearer picture of what teams will be looking for in the 1st round and beyond of next month’s draft.
