Stingley is an interesting study. Was excited to watch him with all the hype around his 2019 film. Can certainly see the potential with his length, patience at the line, terrific ball skills. But he also got beat a fair bit more than I expected

— Mark Bullock (@MarkBullockNFL) April 18, 2022

For Washington, not sure he’d make a ton of sense at 11 unless plan would be to play a lot more press with Stingley, Jackson and St-Juste. Question then is who plays slot and what happens to Fuller, who struggled in slot last year in man coverage.

The #Commanders are hosting #NotreDame safety Kyle Hamilton today, source said, as they look at possible first-round selections. Washington picks No. 11 and it’s a long-shot he is there. But they are doing work in case.

.@OhioStateFB WR Garrett Wilson just finished his visit with the #Commanders, per source.

Wilson, according to one GM I spoke with, is “one of the best receivers I’ve evaluated over the past five years. Speed, route-running, hands, can break the game open at any time.” ⭕️

— Jordan Schultz (@Schultz_Report) April 18, 2022

So among Washington's visits this week: Kyle Hamilton (today), DT Perrion Winfrey (tomorrow) and WR Drake London (Wed)... Hamilton and London strong, strong (strong I tell ya!) possibilities at 11; fill desired roles. Winfrey would be after the 1st round. Need to rebuild DL depth

Honestly don’t know. Couple weeks ago I know some here felt he wouldn’t. But this class has a lot of guys in similar range which means someone falls you maybe didn’t expect.

— John Keim (@john_keim) April 18, 2022

Charles Davis has SEVEN wide receivers going in the first round...

That would tie an @NFLDraft record (2004). Do you agree with him?

This is just an appreciation post for Terry McLaurin.

I love how the guy handles himself. McLaurin is an adult and a professional and I admire him. In an age of veiled emoji social media posts and skipping out on team activities, the guy seems to always do the commendable thing.

— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) April 19, 2022

Terry McLaurin was a rookie in May 2019 when Reuben Foster during the Skins' very first OTA practice suffered a torn left ACL, LCL & MCL & nerve damage. His career is over. I get Terry not wanting to participate in voluntary on-field work until an extension is done. #Commanders

The Commanders say last week's letter from the Oversight Committee relies on information from a disgruntled employee that "sets forth easily and fully rebuttable allegations." The document outlines specific examples of Friedman's claims and pushes back against them:

— Matthew Paras (@Matthew_Paras) April 18, 2022

The letter reads: "Had the Committee requested any information from the Team on the issues raised in the Committee’s letter, the Team could, and would, have provided testimony and documents making clear that the complained-of conduct did not occur."

Browns are signing Pro-Bowl CB Denzel Ward to a 5-year, $100.5 million contract extension that includes $71.25 million guaranteed, per source. At age 24, Ward is the highest-paid CB in NFL history.

Tory Dandy of CAA Sports, who negotiated the contract, confirmed the deal to ESPN

— Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) April 18, 2022

I actually like the Denzel Ward deal, but it's fun to watch all the AFC Wild Card also rans go ALL IN at the same time, like they all had the same idea at once.

Hearing there are a lot of unhappy @USFL players - esp. kickers & QBs - related to the chip tech in the footballs. Claims are the extra 4-5oz. isn’t distributed evenly & is causing anomalies.

The best spot for an alternate pro football league continues to be Tuesday and Wednesday night during football season. If anyone ever does that, the NFL would probably start playing games on Tuesday and Wednesday nights.
