Who are Commanders’ likeliest first-round draft picks using ESPN’s draft day predictor?

Who does ESPN’s draft-day predictor favor as Washington’s first-round pick?

We are less than two weeks away from the first round of the 2023 NFL draft. The Washington Commanders first go on the clock at No. 16 overall unless they trade out of that spot.

The Commanders have done plenty of pre-draft work on the offensive line and cornerback, leading everyone to believe one of those positions will be the pick when Washington goes on the clock.

ESPN Analytics recently created a draft-day predictor tool that goes through the various mock drafts, combined with pre-draft rankings to determine which prospect each team will select in the first round.

Who has the best chance of being Washington’s first-round pick? Penn State cornerback Joey Porter Jr. has been a popular projection to the Commanders in mock drafts, and while he ranks high, he’s not at the top of the list.

Remembering the time Chadwick Boseman played an Ohio State player in ‘Draft Day.’ R.I.P.

Actor Chadwick Boseman has left us too soon. He’s remembered most for his role as Black Panther, but also played an Ohio State linebacker.

The world lost a pretty remarkable actor and global phenomenon this weekend when news broke that Chadwick Boseman passed away of colon cancer. We don’t have to tell most reading this but he played some iconic characters like Jackie Robinson in “42,” James Brown in “Get On Up,” Thurgood Marshall in “Marshall,” and of course, the role of his life and a hero to many as King t’challa in Marvel’s “Black Panther.”

One role that many may not remember though is when he played an Ohio State linebacker preparing for the NFL draft in the movie “Draft Day.” In that film, in which Kevin Costner plays the GM of the Cleveland Browns, Boseman is showcased as OSU linebacker Vontae Mack who is preparing for the draft.

Maybe we shouldn’t be surprised, but the fictional character Mack was made the No. 1 overall pick by the Cleveland Browns over the splashier quarterback because of his character and heart.

That sounds just like the man that played him and so many iconic figures. Wakanda Forever. Rest in peace Chadwick.

2021 NFL Draft Gets a Home

Fun times in Cleveland, indeed as the Mistake by the Lake will host the 2021 NFL Draft.

The 2021 NFL Draft is set and will hopefully be held under much better circumstances than the 2020 edition that came and went this past weekend.  Instead of Las Vegas like it was supposed to be this year before everything had to be done the next edition of the NFL Draft will be held in…

CLEVELAND!

What NFL city would be the furthest thing from the Vegas feel that they were planning to have in 2020?

Well, Green Bay is probably the first and correct answer to that question but after that it’s got to be Cleveland, right?

In all seriousness, for a team that goes to the playoffs once every twenty years (and this is coming from a Bears fan, mind you) it’ll be nice for a change to have something meaningful in regards to professional football happen in a city with such passionate fans.
