The #Commanders sit and pick, taking #MissState CB Emmanuel Forbes at No. 16. Their guy all along.

Soon-to-be new owner Josh Harris was not involved in the selection, but the review process is moving along very rapidly. Could be sent to the Finance Committee soon.

*The Commanders got them a BALL *MAGNET in Emmanuel Forbes. He had 14 career interceptions and returned 6 of them for a touchdown. That’s one Forbes list you don’t want to be on.

#16 Commanders – CB Emmanuel Forbes

Grade: B-/C+
My Ranking: #79 (OT12)

With Gonzalez on the board this is a weird pick. Forbes fits their system well but 16 is high considering his frame issues#NFLDraft

Something I find intriguing, and may be nothing, but look at the first four columns of the draft board.

The NFC East.

I suppose it’s a smart strategy to monitor your division and react accordingly .#HTTC pic.twitter.com/kfxAlfxITK

Lamar Jackson signing a deal to give his family generational wealth, five years after he sat in the green room with his mom, watching the picks go by as he fell in the draft….hard not to get emotional. What a player. What a story. pic.twitter.com/C7olaL9bwy

— Mina Kimes (@minakimes) April 27, 2023

League source just added that the total “guaranteed” portion on Lamar Jackson’s deal is $185M. https://t.co/L8FHaAxEIU

Flashback to when Lamar Jackson was being asked about playing wide receiver at the NFL Combine.

️ ️ The person answering these questions is now the highest paid QB in the NFL.

This is worth the watch. Shoutout to Lamar.pic.twitter.com/mtrxrShW38

Will Levis had almost zero chance to *not* be picked in the first round, according to ESPN Analytics.

Where could he land tomorrow? pic.twitter.com/LVEsZZjmh7

— SportsCenter (@SportsCenter) April 28, 2023

I mean, the league uninvited Quentin Johnston because they did not believe he’d be a first round pick. While Porter, Branch snd Levis never left the green room.
