Brent and Dre react just a few minutes after the Washington Commanders' selection of Dotson, and as you may have guessed, the reaction was split. Dre thought the choice was fine given what happened in front of the Commanders, while Brent wanted to select Hamilton or even Olave if it had to be WR with our first pick. Brent also thought that with the Giants' selections at 5 and 7 and the Eagles trading for A.J. Brown, the Commanders are quickly free-falling in the division. Brent also thought that the fact Washington traded back with the Saints, who then selected Olave, was another strike against Ron Rivera and Co's ability to lead the franchise, which led him to believe that the Dotson selection was another reactionary response similar to the Carson Wentz trade. The guys will be back Sunday to recap all of the action in the draft and give an in-depth analysis of the Commanders selections and expectations for the season.
Brent and Dre discuss options on both sides of the ball that the Commanders can go in. Of course, Brent thinks defense, while Dre is solely focused on WR at that spot. They go in-depth about their top 4 picks, and their fits with the team and players that they could compare to in the league.

It's been a while since we last checked in, but happy to be back! Brent and Dre jump straight into things as they discuss the trade for Carson Wentz, whether they like the deal or not, did we give up too much, and is Commander Carson here to stay, or is this another stopgap QB. Dre wants to give the move a chance to work while Brent is already done with the upcoming season; the two get into an argument about what they should do moving forward in the draft. Brent starts attacking Carson's face, Ron's decision-making, and the team's direction. It's a lot of laughs and a whole lot of bleeps!
