Our offense is going to be unstoppable next season. WR and LT were the last two big puzzle pieces.

We need a major B-Rob replacement. He was horrendous after the Titans game last year. C-Rod is a better back. Right now, we are almost destined to trade down (if we can) to recoup lost draft capital.
We have Jayden Daniels and Deebo Samuel. We also are going to have one of the best OLs in the NFL now. We did not have two of these things last season when we ran for 2600 yards. We'll blow past that benchmark this year, and lead the league in rushing first downs.

We don't really need any expensive upgrades to our backfield, as the top three is set with Robinson, Ekeler, and Rodriguez. I wouldn't be surprised to see a late round/UDFA outside zone runner get picked up to be the fourth back, but I'm not expecting any more splashes. Getting Tunsil and Deebo are game changing moves in two of the most impactful spots on the offense, and we were already on the cusp of having an unstoppable offense last season.

I don't think you guys are appreciating how shocking and impactful that Tunsil deal is. Coleman's pass pro at LT was trash and a huge vulnerability for the offense. We're replacing that with some of the best pass pro in the league, and moving Coleman to a position where he can actually be good. Finding a legit franchise tackle was going to be one of the biggest roster building challenges of the Jayden Daniels era, and if this works out, then Peters pulled it off out of a clear sky, without giving up first round picks. I think it's going to end up being one of the best trades we've ever made.

I think we all know how important the Tunsil is. This gives us not only a very good offensive line, but also, we have options in the draft. I could very well see a RB in the third or the fourth. A very good back would probably be available in both rounds.

I hope Tunsil doesn't turn into a turnstile... too early? Just couldn't resist :lol:

Wait for the cut, sign him to a cheap two year deal, and get a deep threat in the draft.

Our Rivera Bust, Chase Young finally got paid. Saints resigned him to a 3 year deal, with 51m guaranteed and he could earn up 57m with incentives.

I think fans, especially Washington fans who remain obsessed with the OL, understand how important the Tunsil trade was. Despite the costs I have seen hardly any fans who did not like the trade. But adding a top 5 LT does not make an average OL into one of the best in the NFL. They will be without the best OL in 2024 for most of next season, we don't even know if Coleman can play guard let alone any better than the very average Allegretti. Tunsil is an A player, BadAss is a B, the rest are meh and they just lost a very valuable player in Lucas so OL depth is a legit concern. Today this is not one of the best OL in the league, not even close IMO.

As for RBs it's apparent that B Rob is 3 yards and a cloud of dust, and for some reason stopped moving the pile. I buy the earlier post that they can get similar producton from C Rod. No I think they know they have to have a more explosive player as the starting RB. I expect one in the draft and it won't come in the last rounds.
