It’s become obvious over the past couple of weeks that the team is promoting “Raise Hail” as the preferred tag without actually announcing it as being ‘official’. I suspect we’ll see a lot more of this in social media over the coming months. https://t.co/ZqLHCDbwWa

Jordan Magee
THE phone call

— Temple Football (@Temple_FB) April 27, 2024
Newmark said Jordan Magee was a player they liked for a while and fits the “Commander” mold to the game. He’s a captain and loves ball

At 228, Jordan Magee provides Washington with a move piece that plays with his hair on fire.
Hybrid athlete that thrives downhill with outstanding instincts. pic.twitter.com/DqzJxuqM9C

Jordan Magee addressing the media. He said he’s been playing special teams his whole life and feels like that’s one of his strengths. His athletic ability, he said, allows him to excel
— Zach Selby (@ZachSelbyWC) April 27, 2024
Temple LB Jordan Magee –
RAS: 9.6
– Hunts down ball carriers with authority
– Great awareness to help on combo blocks with teammates
– Has great bend even if he may not develop into an Edge Rusher
– Needs to generate more power at timespic.twitter.com/2VFped0fqU— Cønnør (@BernienChompz) April 22, 2024
A name to watch today — Temple LB Jordan Magee.
Had a defensive coach describe his game as an athlete with “arguably the best instincts [at LB] in the class.”
Not many in the class that play with his blend of tenacity & explosiveness. pic.twitter.com/ZUIGvfOHXO

Jordan Magee was drafted in round 5 pick 139 in the 2024 draft class. He scored a 9.60 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 117 out of 2889 LB from 1987 to 2024. https://t.co/cK1sx63kiw pic.twitter.com/5Ik9qkVyo0

RD 5 | PK 139 – Commanders: Jordan Magee LB, Temple
With the 139th overall pick, the @Commanders select the linebacker with the highest athleticism score (87) in the 2024 class.

5.139 LB Jordan Magee (Temple)
Magee’s average play strength will stand out versus pro competition, but his athletic range and competitive play style are NFL-quality assets. He should be an outstanding special teamer as a rookie while he competes for defensive snaps.… pic.twitter.com/HDmRyEezi7

Newmark highlighted LB Jordan Magee’s athleticism as a main factor. Also mentioned the team captain aspect.
Dominique Hampton sounds like he could be a safety they consider using at LB. That’s a position switch, should it happen, that Peters has executed before.

Dominique Hampton
Welcome to Washington Dominique Hampton #RaiseHail pic.twitter.com/ppxi1kTv12
— PAIN (@Xommanders) April 27, 2024
Commanders need another safety who can play deep and Kam Kinchens on day 2 is the best for that in the class but Dominique Hampton on day 3 could be the smart move for us pic.twitter.com/6v59mypryA
— Alex (@Cavs_Alexx) April 24, 2024
The Commanders selected Washington safety Dominique Hampton with the 161st pick.@dpbrugler’s No. 9 safety runs a 4.45 40-time. An “impressive size/speed athlete who diagnoses well from the zone and is an explosive striker as a tackler.
Started college football in 2018.

Dominique Hampton was drafted in round 5 pick 161 in the 2024 draft class. He scored a 9.57 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 48 out of 1093 FS from 1987 to 2024. https://t.co/DS2lGr4XGv pic.twitter.com/f0xwnDjRVq
— Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) April 27, 2024
Dominique Hampton is a very physical SS who is not afraid to toss his weight around. For being so big and physical, he is also extremely agile! He will never be a free safety and is not great at matching routes, but he could carve out a role on a defense as the enforcer. pic.twitter.com/dVHh9oTzSZ

Former Centennial standout & Washington Husky mainstay Dominique Hampton was just taken by the Washington Commanders in the #NFLDraft.
Dude was a walking Pick-6 in high school.

Javontae Jean-Baptiste is a Commander. #RaiseHail
With the 222nd overall pick in the seventh round, the @Commanders select @Javontae_JB, edge, Notre Dame.#NFLDraft | #GoIrish☘️ pic.twitter.com/bukxlCp63S
— Notre Dame Football (@NDFootball) April 27, 2024
Javontae Jean-Baptiste was drafted in round 7 pick 222 in the 2024 draft class. He scored a 9.22 #RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 142 out of 1798 DE from 1987 to 2024. https://t.co/W6Wmuy2VAj pic.twitter.com/5FpKgSimZE
— Kent Lee Platte (@MathBomb) April 27, 2024
Keep an eye on Javontae Jean-Baptiste tomorrow. Good fit. Long EDGE player that can really run-and-chase. Decent floor thanks to effort and intangibles but a ton of pass rushing upside, too.
Reminds me of Lorenzo Carter a little bit.
— Steve (@AirRaidConcepts) April 27, 2024
Javonte Jean-Baptiste says he’s a fit in Commanders system. Felt he grew from Ohio State to Notre Dame.
Was really hoping it would be Washington.
— Chris Russell AKA the ! (@Russellmania621) April 27, 2024
For those of you that wanted Penn State edge rusher Adisa Isaac on day two (including myself), Javontae Jean-Baptiste’s athletic profile is 98% similar to Isaac.
Washington may have found something in the 7th round #RaiseHail pic.twitter.com/pC1c5lRNSN
— Mason Kinnahan (@Mason_Kinnahan) April 28, 2024
I had Javontae Jean-Baptiste rated as a fifth rounder and the team had him in on a top 30 visit. Many pundits and analysts had him rated lower and I understand that. His film is good though and he needs time to develop, but this is good value here.

Javontae Jean-Baptiste is headed to the Nation’s Capital!
The @BergenCathFBall alum was selected by the Washington Commanders with the No. 222 pick in the seventh round of the 2024 NFL Draft.

Surprised DE Javontae Jean-Baptiste from Notre Dame was still available as Commanders make him their last pick of the draft. There have been times we’ve said the defense may be the strength of the club over the years, but this year the Commanders may really mean it.
— Dave Scarangella (@DaveScarangella) April 27, 2024
Javontae Jean-Baptiste is the #Commanders last scheduled draft pick …They get an EDGE…
Remember – they did a lot of work in free agency at the position, but obviously have lost Toohill, JSW, Montez and Chase.

Team captain update. Out of nine selections:
QB Jayden Daniels
DT Johnny Newton

Detroit sets a new bar with “over 775,000” at the draft. That breaks the prior record by nearly 30 percent. https://t.co/u4gWFQuT5u
