Debo ends up going to the Washington
0:02
commanders for a fifth round draft pick
0:06
I recognize that Debo has not been as
0:09
productive in recent years as he was
0:11
let's say three seasons ago his best
0:16
2021 he caught 1,400 yards worth of
0:20
passes 77 catches had six touchdowns and
0:24
was just kind of a do everything guy for
0:25
that ners offense since then production
0:29
has gone down last year it slipped to
0:31
just 51 catches for 670 yards and three
0:35
touchdowns and clearly a guy whose game
0:38
is built on speed who's going to go into
0:42
year number 29 age 29 season you know
0:45
you're going to have diminishing returns
0:46
coming up here but personally I love
0:50
this deal for the commanders I love it I
0:52
absolutely love it now there might be
0:55
people that say well there was no other
0:56
real market for Debo Samuel so did you
0:58
have to give up a fifth round
1:00
I'll tell you this if you find a wide
1:05
receiver two that you can start week in
1:07
week out at in the fifth round that's a
1:11
steal and I think at the very least with
1:14
Terry McClaren there you would slot Debo
1:16
into wide receiver two each and every
1:18
week so there you go right there I like
1:21
the value in giving up only a fifth
1:23
round pick but the second part is what
1:26
you're trying to do as we all know is
1:27
maximize the moment that you have Jaden
1:30
Daniels on a rookie contract right the
1:33
longer you can have a dynamic
1:37
quarterback at that fraction of a price
1:40
because the moment his deal is up he
1:42
immediately goes to 50 or 55 or $60
1:45
million a season let's face it that's
1:46
going to be the going rate when his deal
1:49
when his rookie deal is up so you've
1:51
just got to take advantage of everything
1:53
right now and you can spend money you
1:55
can spend money to surround your young
1:57
QB with parts so I think in this way the
2:01
commanders it's it's a home run if Debo
2:04
is only worth 60 catches for 750 yards
2:09
or something and four touchdowns you
2:11
know what not a big deal because that's
2:13
not going to prevent you it should not
2:16
from spending other places because you
2:18
are saving so much money at the
2:19
quarterback and if you're giving Jaden
2:22
Daniels a significant steady option at
2:25
wide receiver 2 every week so that he
2:28
can build continuity and he can build
2:30
some dependability with him that's a
2:33
huge it's a huge support system for the
2:36
quarterback on top of it with Cliff
2:38
kingsberry staying as the OC you guys
2:40
know I think he's the most overrated
2:42
head coach That Ever Walked the face of
2:43
the Earth but clearly as an OC he is
2:47
successful and productive so now you're
2:50
giving a creative offensive mind like
2:52
kingsberry a weapon like Debo Samuel and
2:55
you will get your best Debo when he's
2:57
fully engaged and happy and we you know
3:00
now he got paid and he's not going to be
3:02
in San Francisco where he was unhappy
3:04
you might have a tick and clock on how
3:05
long he is happy for but you know you're
3:08
going to be at least at the Forefront or
3:09
at the front end of satisfied happy
3:14
content Deo so I love this deal for the
3:17
commanders I think it makes a million I
3:20
think it makes tons of sense I think it
3:22
helps that offense out tremendously and
3:25
it goes to show you where the
3:26
organization is a million times better
3:29
180 compared to the Dan Snider years
3:32
where the commander doing something
3:34
smart logical helps their team is not
3:38
surprising pretty amazing alternate
3:40
universe we're in now with Washington
