Commanders' WR Strategy: Building Depth or Missing Game-Breaker?

0:00On April 6th, the Washington commanders know they need a big time-wide receiver to boost their offense, kind of like what Debo Samuel brings, but they haven't pulled the trigger yet this off season. So far, they've locked in practice squad guys, Jocquery Brooks and Jacobi Jones on Futures Deals. Brooks is a 6-foot 3, 24-year-old from, Louisville and Jones is even bigger at 228 pounds from UCF. They also brought back Traylon Berks, who caught 10 passes for 130 yards after joining mid-season and signed Vets-Diamy Brown and Van, Jefferson to one-year deals. On top of that, they've got star Terry McClure and leading the pack, plus young guys like Luke McCaffrey and Jalen Lane already in the mix. No splashy trades or huge free agents splash as yet, but the team's been quiet while building depth. Fans and analysts are scratching their heads, wondering why not go bigger with the receiver spot.
