The NFL Draft is next week, and we got news this week that the Commanders and Washington D.C. have the framework of a deal close to bring the team's next stadium back to RFK! So, take a listen to this week's Best of Commanders, which is all about roster building, and maybe some stadium building, too.

In the best of the Nationals on WJFK/WTEM this week, GM Mike Rizzo joins The Sports Junkies, Grant & Danny discuss Dylan Crews' poor start to the season; Andrew Golden of The Washington Post joins Kevin Sheehan to break down the Nats' "scrappy" playing style; James Wood is showcasing superstar potential; Jake Irvin plays trivia with listeners on Grant & Danny; Mark Zuckerman joins BMitch & Finlay to talk bullpen woes

From 'Bustin' Loose Baseball' (subscribe here): The Nationals first long road trip of the year isn't going their way, leaving Pittsburgh with a 3-1 series loss to the Pirates. Grant Paulsen & Tobi Altizer assess what went wrong in a pivotal early season portion of their schedule, how injuries and overcoaching have shuffled a scuffling offensive lineup, and why the bullpen continues to be a thorn in the teams' side.
