👀 Which team had the best rookie class?

From the article linked in the comments:

Yes, Jayden Daniels is the biggest reason Washington tops this ranking, but he isn’t the only reason.

In his first draft as a general manager, Adam Peters selected impact starters on both sides of the football, helping the go from 4-13 cellar-dwellers to 12-5 NFC Championship Game participants. That said, Peters’ first pick did provide an outsized benefit, giving Washington the league’s most valuable commodity: a true franchise quarterback. Posting the highest completion percentage (69.0) and the most rushing yards (891) by a rookie quarterback in NFL history, Daniels tormented foes via arm and legs. Frankly, though, his most remarkable trait might be his eternally calm demeanor.

No moment was too big, no task too daunting -- and that’s a quality reflected by courageous cover man Mike Sainristil. The 5-foot-9, 182-pounder was drafted to play nickel, but the Commanders’ perimeter cornerbacks couldn’t hold their own in the first two weeks of the season, so Washington sent Sainristil outside. The rookie answered the bell with aplomb, finishing the season with four interceptions, including two in Washington’s playoff upset of Detroit.

Add in 15 starts (including playoffs) at left tackle from Brandon Coleman, as well as under-the-radar disruption from DT Jer'Zhan Newton, and one overriding sentiment becomes even more pronounced: It’s a brand new day for football in the nation’s capital.

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser addressed a large crowd at Eastern High School tonight on the redevelopment of 174 acres (RFK Site) - including bringing the to DC as part of a massive housing, retail, community amenities, and open space plan.

Below is a collection of quotes from the night:

Tells Ward 7 residents, “We will have a Super Bowl in Washington DC,” says DC needs “new and modern stadium” to host World Cup.
“Our vision will be a stadium that is used for more than football.”

Says demolition of RFK underway… says DC is planning for an stadium as the anchor of the entire project. “If things go the way I hope…” the plan will go to the DC Council. Bowser says change to better team ownership [No Dan Snyder] helped clear the path.

Says Nats ballpark helped jump-start waterfront development that now boosts city revenues for many other DC government programs. DC has created a website for info (linked down below in the comments).

Says that if a stadium comes to pass, she wants it to be iconic. “The stadium will be on the monumental axis in the nation’s capital, so it has to be big, not in terms of size, but the vision of it,” she says, bringing up the new Douglass Bridge. “We would use garages because we want to maximize the space,” says Bowser on parking at the RFK site.

Veteran DC activist Adam Eidinger asks the Mayor how many acres will go to the stadium and if she would oppose any DC funding for the stadium itself. Bowser says the stadium will use about 25 acres. She says “no” - she would not prohibit using any city funds for the stadium.

^^ Most of the negative responses from the crowd came after this comment...

Some other questions:
- Will residences be taken to develop the site? No.
- Can you do something to preserve the existing skate park? We will look at that.
- Can we get a supermarket on the site? Bowser wants one.

Whatever Jerry is mixing in the Kool-Aid down in lil' D is working overtime.

From the article linked in the comments:

Dak Prescott: "I feel like we've competed with the and beat them for the most part when we've played them," Prescott said Tuesday after announcing the models for this year's Children's Cancer Fund gala that will be held April 11. "I don't want to say, 'Check the record,' when the other guy is holding the trophy, right? So credit to them. They've earned it, and they deserve it by all means. But, yeah, [we're] very close."

Asked how far the Cowboys are from doing what their rivals have done, Prescott also mentioned the Washington , who lost to the Eagles in the Game.

"Especially even watching the NFC championship and those two teams -- teams that we battle against each and every year a couple of times. As I said, I feel confident that we've gotten the better part each and every time. But just seeing such a dominating fashion [in Super Bowl LIX against the ], credit to them. It's our turn, and it's on us."

The have not played in a -- or been to a conference title game -- in 29 seasons. They are coming off a 7-10 finish, as Prescott played just eight games before having his season end because of a partial avulsion of his right hamstring.

In 2025, Prescott will play for his third head coach, Brian Schottenheimer, in 10 seasons. Jason Garrett was his coach from 2016 to 2019, followed by Mike McCarthy from 2020 to 2024.

"Super excited for him, this opportunity," Prescott said of Schottenheimer, who served as the Cowboys' offensive coordinator the past two years. "Obviously, I've worked with him the last couple of years, understanding the type of man he is, the way that he approaches the game. I think the best way to exemplify that is he is the son of a legendary coach. He's not going to take anything about this game lightly. He enjoys the work in it, kind of old-fashioned."

Prescott has been at The Star since the season ended, continuing his rehab from the hamstring surgery. The goal has been to be ready for the start of the offseason program in the spring.

"My health is good, doing a lot more, getting there," Prescott said. "I think I'm what, 12 weeks or so out of surgery right now. I'm really looking to amp it up here recently. Got all my confidence, and we'll be fine."

Cam Newton said yesterday he'd "take Caleb Williams over Jayden Daniels STILL today" in a 2024 redraft. Not sure that's an island anyone should be willing to sit on, but any scenario where Washington keeps the better QB should be just fine with all of us. 💯
