Hour 3 1:12 - Calls on Who's at the Top of Your Draft Boards 15:09 - Dybantsa Over Peterson — No Hesitation

Tobi makes it clear: even if the injury concerns surrounding Darryn Peterson didn't exist, he would still take AJ Dybantsa without hesitation. Tobi explains why he believes Dybantsa's size, versatility, and long-term ceiling give him the edge as the more complete prospect. While Peterson's scoring ability and offensive creativity are undeniable, Tobi argues that Dybantsa projects as the more impactful two-way player and safer franchise cornerstone.

Tobi and Anthony put themselves in the Commanders' war room and act as if they're officially on the clock at No. 7 overall. Each lays out their personal Top 5 big board for Washington — blending positional value, roster need, and long-term upside.

Tobi Altizer welcomes Joey Kaufman of the The Columbus Dispatch for a deep dive into the four Ohio State Buckeyes football prospects being mocked to Washington at No. 7 overall. The guys break down what makes Caleb Downs, Arvell Reese, Sonny Styles, and Carnell Tate intriguing fits for the Commanders, how each would translate to the next level, and which Buckeye could make the biggest immediate impact in Washington.

Tobi Altizer takes a hard look at the Commanders' roster construction and questions whether the team can afford to stick with its recent offseason blueprint — targeting veteran players on short-term deals to stabilize the roster. Has that strategy successfully raised the team's floor, or is it time to pivot toward younger, long-term building blocks? Tobi weighs whether the approach remains smart team-building or if it risks keeping Washington stuck in the middle.

Tobi Altizer opens the show reacting to the announcement that the Commanders will play an international game in London this season. Tobi believes this won't be a one-off trip overseas — as long as Jayden Daniels continues to shine, Washington could become a regular on the NFL's global stage. With a marketable young star at quarterback, the Commanders may be positioning themselves as one of the league's premier international brands.

Doc Walker and Anthony react to Adam Peters saying there's no update on Marshon Lattimore's status this offseason. With an $18 million cap hit on the table, Anthony is surprised a decision hasn't already been made. Doc pushes back, arguing Lattimore's edge and competitiveness are worth betting on—especially with a new defensive coordinator and system that could help him return to form.

Doc Walker welcomes Mitch Tischler live from the NFL Combine to break down his biggest takeaways from Adam Peters and Dan Quinn's press conferences. They discuss the buzz around Jeremiyah Love and whether he's realistic at No. 7, plus debate if Washington should bring back Bobby Wagner for Year 15.

Draft season is heating up, and Mel Kiper Jr. has the Commanders going defense in his latest mock — projecting Ohio State linebacker Sonny Styles to Washington at No. 7 overall. Doc Walker and Anthony react to the pick and break down what Styles would bring to the Burgundy & Gold. At 6'4” with elite athleticism and versatility, Styles fits the modern hybrid linebacker mold — a tone-setter who can rush, cover, and play downhill.

Future Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner announced his intention to return for Year 15 — and now the big question in Washington is simple: should the Commanders bring him back? Doc Walker and Anthony both say yes… but with different visions. Doc believes Wagner's leadership, football IQ, and command of the defense are too valuable to let walk — especially for a unit still finding its identity. However, Doc wants to see Wagner in a more limited, situational role to keep him fresh and maximize his impact across a full season. Anthony sees it differently. He believes the new defensive scheme fits Wagner perfectly and could allow him to remain an every-down presence. In Anthony's eyes, Wagner's instincts and processing ability still make him one of the smartest linebackers in the league — and in the right system, that matters more than raw speed.

Should the Commanders open up the checkbook for a big-name running back in free agency — or is that a luxury they can't afford right now? Doc Walker throws the question to the listeners and the phone lines light up.

Doc Walker reunites with his old radio sparring partner, Al Galdi of the The Al Galdi Podcast, to break down the Commanders' running back situation from every angle. With Notre Dame's Jeremiyah Love set to run at the NFL Combine, Doc and Al discuss what a strong showing could mean for his draft stock and whether he'd be worth serious consideration for Washington. They also size up the free-agent running back market and debate team-building philosophy. Galdi makes it clear: he would not spend big money on a free-agent RB. In today's NFL, he argues, you can find production without tying up major cap space — especially for a team that still has multiple holes to fill.

Doc Walker opens the show by welcoming Nick Ashooh to break down a historic night on the ice as the U.S. Men's Hockey Team defeats Canada 2–1 in overtime to capture the gold medal at the Winter Olympics — their first Olympic gold since the legendary 1980 “Miracle on Ice.” Doc and Nick relive the dramatic OT winner, the physicality and tension of USA vs. Canada on the world stage, and what this victory means for American hockey 46 years after that iconic run in Lake Placid.

Doc Walker welcomes Lynnell Willingham of Westwood One Sports Night to break down whether the Commanders should pursue veteran wide receiver Mike Evans in free agency. Lynnell isn't sold on bringing Evans to Washington. While he respects the résumé and production, he believes the Commanders can allocate their resources more wisely — potentially targeting younger or more cost-effective options at wide receiver. But here's the headline: Lynnell makes a bold prediction that Washington will spend more money than any team in free agency this offseason.

Doc Walker and Anthony take a closer look at the concerning trend surrounding Kansas star guard Darryn Peterson after yet another early exit. Why hasn't he been finishing games? Is it conditioning, minor injuries, coaching decisions, or something deeper? The guys discuss whether this pattern should raise red flags, how it could impact his draft stock, and what it means for Kansas moving forward. Is this just a bump in the road—or a real concern?

Doc Walker welcomes longtime friend Lou Holder to break down whether Mike Evans would truly be a good fit in Washington. Is the veteran wideout the missing piece for this offense, or would signing him go against the Commanders' long-term vision? They also debate whether the Commanders should take a blockbuster swing at Maxx Crosby this offseason. Would trading major draft capital for an elite pass rusher be worth it at this stage of the rebuild?

After Conor Orr boldly predicted that the Commanders will land Mike Evans in free agency, Doc Walker and Anthony break down whether the move makes football — and financial — sense. Would Evans be the perfect veteran complement to Terry McLaurin and a major boost for Jayden Daniels? Or would signing a big-ticket, 30+ receiver contradict where the Commanders are in their roster build?

Ben Standig welcomes Marc Ross to break down the Commanders' offseason priorities at wide receiver and tight end. They debate whether Washington should consider bringing back Deebo Samuel, what the realistic market looks like for Tyreek Hill following his release, and whether pursuing a high-profile playmaker makes sense given the team's broader roster needs. Plus, they assess what type of tight end and identify potential fits who could elevate the passing game.

Kansas star guard Darryn Peterson exited early again — this time against Oklahoma State Cowboys — marking yet another instance where he hasn't finished a game or logged major second-half minutes. It's becoming a pattern, and it's raising eyebrows. Ben Standig and Anthony dive into what's behind the recurring early exits and missed time. Is this simple load management, lingering minor injuries, precautionary decisions by the coaching staff — or something more concerning long term? They discuss how this trend impacts Kansas' rhythm, Peterson's development, and what it could mean for his durability narrative moving forward.

Ben Standig welcomes Tyler Dunne of Go Long to preview what could be the real fireworks ahead of the NFL Combine — and it might not be draft-related. With league buzz building, they discuss the possibility of a blockbuster trade involving Maxx Crosby, what that kind of move would signal around the league, and which teams could realistically enter the sweepstakes. They also break down the market for Trey Hendrickson — what he could command financially and how pass rushers of his caliber reshape offseason strategy. From there, they pivot to the NFL Draft and identify prospects who could significantly boost their stock at the Combine, whether through elite testing numbers or interviews behind closed doors.

Ben Standig opens the phone lines and asks the big-picture question: What should the Commanders be doing this offseason? With free agency looming and the draft approaching, callers flood the show with strong opinions — and one name keeps coming up: Notre Dame running back Jeremiyah Love.

Ben Standig opens the show reacting to a classic rivalry moment as the U.S. Women's Hockey Team defeats Canada in overtime to capture gold. With the Americans finishing the tournament undefeated, it was Megan Keller delivering the game-winner in a dramatic OT finish against their biggest rival.

Doc Walker and Anthony react to a new ranking from CBS Sports that slots the Wizards' front office at No. 22 in the league — and they're not buying it. After a bold trade deadline that brought in Anthony Davis and reshaped the franchise's trajectory, the guys argue that the national perception hasn't caught up to the vision in Washington. They break down why they believe the Wizards' leadership deserves more credit for creativity, long-term flexibility, and taking calculated swings to accelerate the rebuild.

Doc Walker and Anthony react to Matt Bowen linking Quay Walker to the Commanders as a potential fit in Washington. Would Walker bring the speed, range, and sideline-to-sideline presence this defense needs? The guys break down what Walker does well — his athleticism, ability to play in space, and upside as a modern linebacker — while also asking whether he'd be worth the financial commitment. Then they turn inward, evaluating the linebackers already in-house and whether the Commanders should prioritize continuity or inject new talent into the room.

Doc Walker and Anthony react to Matt Bowen suggesting that Washington could be an ideal landing spot for Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely. Would Likely be the dynamic, pass-catching weapon this offense needs? The guys break down Likely's skillset — his ability to stretch the seam, create yards after the catch, and serve as a mismatch against linebackers and safeties. They discuss how he would fit alongside Terry McLaurin in David Blough's offense and how a true receiving tight end could help take pressure off Jayden Daniels.

Doc Walker and Anthony kick off the show reacting to Joel Klatt's latest mock draft, which has the Commanders selecting LSU cornerback Mansoor Delane. Is Delane the lockdown presence Washington's secondary desperately needs? Doc and Anthony break down the traits that make Delane intriguing — his length, physicality at the line of scrimmage, SEC experience, and ability to play in multiple coverage schemes. They also discuss how he would fit into Daronte Jones' defensive philosophy and why adding a high-level corner could immediately elevate a defense that struggled with consistency last season.

The Miami Dolphins are shaking up the league, releasing superstar wide receiver Tyreek Hill and veteran pass rusher Bradley Chubb. Doc Walker and Anthony waste no time asking the big question: Should the Commanders pick up the phone? Would adding Hill's game-breaking speed instantly elevate the offense and take pressure off Jayden Daniels? Or would the contract demands, locker room dynamics, and long-term roster build make it too risky? On the defensive side, could Chubb be the proven edge presence Washington has been searching for — or is durability and cost too big a concern?
