Sonny Styles is the Washington Commanders newest 1st-round pick, and he’s already a big deal in D.C. He will sign a contract soon to join a team that is totally revamping its defense, and Styles is expected to be a big part of that transformation. He was a leader at Ohio State, and will be […]
As is true for most discussions about sports, there is no single criterion for judging the quality of a team’s NFL draft class. There are, however, a number of concepts — some actually contradictory — that get applied. Fulfilling team needs Mock drafters, in particular, tend to focus on the concept of ‘need’, by which […]
The NFL draft concluded this past Saturday with the Commanders adding six new players to the team.
