Listen "Commanders’ Roster Reality Check: Not Enough Blue-Chip Talent"

Episode Synopsis

Lynnell takes a hard look at the current state of the Commanders’ roster and says it’s clear — this team only has three or four true blue-chip players, and that’s not nearly enough to compete at a high level. He points the finger at Adam Peters’ draft record so far, noting that the lack of young impact players is holding Washington back. Looking ahead, Lynnell says the Commanders’ top offseason priority should be finding a dominant defensive lineman in next year’s draft, while also surrounding Jayden Daniels with more elite talent to build a sustainable core for the future.
