MMQB's Connor Orr reacts to the show's discussion about whether the Commanders made the right move in "microwaving" their offseason by trading for Deebo Samuel and Laremy Tunsil instead of building through the draft. Craig pushes back, arguing that Washington didn’t have much homegrown talent to begin with due to the previous regime’s shortcomings. He makes the case that the real question isn’t how players are acquired, but whether they fit—and the Commanders have already proven they can win with newly added talent.
Craig welcomes The Athletic's Ben Pickman for an in-depth breakdown of the Women's NCAA Tournament. Pickman discusses the depth of the upcoming WNBA Draft and which players have the most to gain during March Madness. He also analyzes each region, highlighting the favorites and potential upsets on the road to the Final Four.
Craig welcomes ESPN NBA Draft Analyst Jeremy Woo to break down the top NBA Draft prospects competing in the NCAA Tournament. They also discuss high-upside players like Ace Bailey and Dylan Harper, who aren't in March Madness but remain top draft targets. Woo highlights which prospects Wizards fans should keep an eye on as potential future stars for Washington.
Craig welcomes NFL.com writer Eric Edholm to discuss what the Commanders might do with their first-round pick in the NFL Draft. They dive into the likelihood of Washington selecting an edge rusher at No. 29 and which prospects could be available. With cornerback also a key need, Edholm shares potential options the Commanders could target if they go in that direction instead.
Craig kicks off the show reacting to the Commanders reworking Deebo Samuel’s contract, guaranteeing $17 million of his salary and adding $3 million in incentives. With Deebo now playing on a one-year deal worth up to $20 million, Craig discusses what this means for Washington’s offense and ponders why Adam Peters would be doing this at this point in time.
