Congratulations to former #Steelers‘ cornerback James Pierre on signing with the Commanders. This is his opportunity to carve his own path in the #NFL. pic.twitter.com/tiSLYD8Qg0

Say what you want about James Pierre as a boundary CB, especially in isolation, but the dude was a good STs player. And, as we observed last yr, STs play in vitally important. #Steelers https://t.co/j3sOoRT4dS

New #Commanders DB James Pierre largely played special teams in Pittsburgh, however…
*Steelers DC/DB Coach Teryl Austin has Lions ties to Mayhew and Newmark
*Pierre was coached by defensive assistant Al Harris at FAU, who has ties to DQ and Joe Whitt Jr.

It’s a one-year deal for Pierre. https://t.co/iewmDLhYSg

We’re bringing in some tall corners man… Makes me think we might be looking at Khyree Jackson in the draft . Almost 6’4 corner and also a local product. (Wise HS)

Frankie Luvu was No. 50 with the Jets and No. 49 with the Panthers.
He’ll wear No. 4 with the Commanders.

The #Ravens have signed former #AZCardinals OT Josh Jones, adding some OT depth.

This has 0 impact on my evaluation of Caleb Williams. I think he’s great. But I just wanted to say this somewhere…
Was anyone else underwhelmed with his pro day? Missed deep balls, shaky spiral, looked very mortal.
Not insinuating anything at all, just wanted to share
— SCOUTD (@scoutdnfl) March 21, 2024
Since nobody else will say it, these are just a few plays I saved.
1. Missed deep ball
2. Missed deep ball
3. Extremely wobbly spiral. Half miss
4. Questionable placement on a routine throw pic.twitter.com/zMmlOOQbqU— SCOUTD (@scoutdnfl) March 21, 2024
“It’s not exactly a pure simulation, but if I am an NFL evaluator, there are some more things you can see from J.J. McCarthy…”

Peaked my interest, so looked at passing grades when pressured (also included their pressure to sack %).
*Only the 2023 season
Williams: 38.9 /21.9%
Maye: 60.7/18.8%
Daniels: 63/20.2%
McCarthy: 72.9/16.8%
Penix: 65.3/7.6%
Nix: 91.2 /6.3% https://t.co/POT8cOk3c2

Charted the results of my eval from 7 games each of Williams, Maye and Daniels.
Williams (273 snaps)- The most NFL ready of the bunch. Best pocket manipulation and play extension, with a very good arm and sharp velocity. Struggled at times under pressure but has a super high… pic.twitter.com/DZgjXcY2gl

Let’s be real, the #NFLDraft starts with #HTTC at No. 2 — what’s their strategy and could Arizona trade out at #4 to QBs are the first four picks?#DaBears #Patriots #AZCardinals pic.twitter.com/PdexxPeLH7

Draft expert @ShanePHallam thinks the Commanders can get a starting OT at 36:
“I think they can get a starting left tackle at 36. It depends how that run goes in the 1st round. If one falls, you’re in position at 36 to snatch one.” Suggested Jordan Morgan from AZ as an option.

“There will be a big neon sign that says ‘open.’ I don’t like it blinking, it messes with my eyes, but we’re always going to be listening.”
At No. 4, the #AZCardinals GM Monti Ossenfort is open for business on a potential trade. https://t.co/B65mNRhVNqhttps://t.co/B65mNRhVNq

Rich McKay, chairman of the Competition Committee, just gave these numbers for total league-wide kickoff return yardage:
2010: 45,000 yards
2023: 13,000 yards— Andrew Siciliano (@AndrewSiciliano) March 21, 2024
“We have been able to make the play more of a non-event… but we’ve not made the play safer” to this point, Rich McKay says of the kickoff proposal.
— MarkMaske (@MarkMaske) March 21, 2024
“Does that lead to 24 votes? We will see,” Rich McKay says on whether the kickoff proposal will be approved.

“I respect their position. But as gatekeepers of the game… this is something that we have to remove,” the NFL’s Troy Vincent says of the NFLPA’s opposition to the proposed ban on hip-drop tackles.

Rich McKay says he believes the Eagles’ proposal to require stadium game clocks to display the time remaining in tenths of seconds during the final minute of each half probably will be withdrawn.

“Philly did it well. The Eagles, they executed this particular play well…. After lengthy discussion with both the player health and safety committee [and] the competition committee… it was best to say, ‘Leave it alone.’ The Eagles do it well,” the NFL’s Troy Vincent said. https://t.co/HntqJd1zea
