Commanders' Tight End Dilemma: Balancing Now and Future
The Washington Commanders face a dilemma at the tight end position, balancing immediate needs with future plans. Veteran Zach Ertz provides stability, but his age necessitates a successor. John Bates excels in blocking but lacks receiving skills. The team had hoped to address this with second-round pick Ben Sinnott, but he hasnt consistently shown receiving abilities. Meanwhile, undrafted free agent Colson Yankoff has emerged as a reliable blocker and special teams player, potentially outperforming Sinnott. The Commanders need either Sinnott or Yankoff to develop into a consistent receiving threat to support their timing-based offense. If not, they may have to rely more on Ertz and Bates, potentially neglecting their long-term needs. The team is in a tough spot, trying to win now while also determining their future at this crucial position.
