With the No. 2 pick, the Washington Commanders have a difficult choice to make. Do they wish to sell it and make a huge profit? Are
they okay with forgoing their franchise quarterback in favor of acquiring a seasoned QB? They must respond to each of these inquiries.
As they search for a quarterback as well, teams like the Atlanta Falcons may speak with the Commanders closer to draft night in order
to move up to No. 2.
The Falcons might present the Commanders with an excellent package, even though they won’t be the only club making that decision.
Kirk Cousins, a former player for the Commanders, is someone they could want to consider, according to Sam Monson of PFF. As
compensation, they would be able to
“In 2012, Washington gave up three first-round picks and a second-round pick to move up from No. 6 to No. 2. For instance, if the
Atlanta Falcons are unable to acquire Kirk Cousins in free agency, they may become desperate enough to make that trade.
“Washington could trade back to the No. 8 spot, pick up multiple additional high-value picks and still be able to draft an elite talent in
the first round,” the team wrote.
Adding a veteran like Cousins isn’t the worst idea, especially with over $70 million in cap space—the most in the NFL. They may be
able to field a competitive squad far sooner than most people think if they can add impact players to their outstanding roster.
This Deal Would Probably Be Made by the Falcons
The Atlanta Falcons would think this was a no-brainer. While three first-round picks would be a high price to pay, two and other
benefits would be quite valuable.
Like the Washington Commanders, the Falcons are loaded with skill. Although their defense is far superior to the Commanders’, both
attacks depend on a quarterback to get to the next level.
They might be well-positioned for the future if they select Bijan Robinson, Kyle Pitts, and Drake London with the No. 2 choice.
Merely 2,836 yards, 12 touchdowns, and 12 interceptions were thrown by Desmond Ridder. It’s obvious that the Falcons need a
superior quarterback in order to advance.
Leaders Need to Look for Their Guy
If the Washington Commanders want to get better, they should look into this suggested deal with the Atlanta Falcons and make a
move for a veteran, but it’s time to locate their person.
With Dan Quinn taking over as head coach, the Commanders would still have a lot of questions even if they signed Cousins. With Kliff
Kingsbury, letting him develop as a quarterback ought to be the main goal.
The Commanders need to select their franchise quarterback in this draft, albeit it will not be an easy choice. ESPN’s Lindsey Thiry
suggests that the Commanders ought to move up to the first pick in order to acquire Caleb Williams.
“To choose USC quarterback Caleb Williams, the Commanders trade up with the Bears, moving up from No. 2 to No. 1 overall. Fields
would therefore stay in Chicago, while Williams would team up again with Kliff Kingsbury, the new offensive coordinator, who was an
offensive analyst for the Trojans the previous season.
