Washington hired Kirtan Mehta, chief of staff for Sen. John Hickenlooper (D-CO), as its new VP of Public Affairs, the team announced.
Mehta will have a key role in the team’s new stadium search. Mehta has worked in finance and notably spent five years with Sen. Joe Manchin…

“He’s the kind of hire a new NFL owner would make to navigate the politics of moving a team from the Maryland suburbs to a parcel of land that’s currently owned by the federal government.” https://t.co/z7iGlOAu3t

since the pressure to sack stuff has been a topic with Jayden Daniels, here’s almost all of the sacks he took this season pic.twitter.com/epOyPHMrT5

As @AlbertBreer noted, the Commanders are indeed hosting quarterbacks Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye, JJ McCarthy and Michael Penix on top-30 visits together this evening and tomorrow, per source.

New Commanders GM Adam Peters is bringing the idea with him from San Francisco, where the 49ers would host large groups of prospects on 30 visits. Idea is to see them interact with peers.
As for the number, around 20 prospects are tentatively set to be in Ashburn tomorrow. https://t.co/opxNfVs0Hc

Three top QBs — Jayden Daniels, Drake Maye & JJ McCarthy — are visiting the #Commanders today & are expected to meet with Adam Peters and Dan Quinn, among others. Managing Partner Josh Harris will also be in attendance, as he continues to observe and support new WAS leadership. pic.twitter.com/sjTKrs2Aob

I know all eyes are on the QB visits today/tomorroe but the Commanders are also hosting a pair of potential day two OL targets in Illinois’ Isiah Adams and a guy I’m super intrigued by Yale’s Kiran Amegadjie

More Top 30 visits:
— #Bama CB Terrion Arnold, who has been on a world tour, is at the #Titans.
— #PSU DE Chop Robinson is at the #Bears today, #Commanders tomorrow.
— #WKU WR Malachi Corley is at the #Saints now and #Seahawks later this week.— Ian Rapoport (@RapSheet) April 15, 2024
Also, usually has to do with owner getting to meet with players in efficient way. Don’t know if that’s the case here or not. Most of these owners don’t hangout at the football building on a daily/weekly basis. https://t.co/7B9NzXcryG

The Commanders kicked off their mass 30 visit tonight by taking the draft prospects—including Drake Maye, Jayden Daniels, Michael Penix and JJ McCarthy—to Topgolf for a casual dinner/mixer. More than 20 potential draftees in town, and they’ll all be at the facility tomorrow.

Washington fans wanted things done differently. Top Golf draft party is definitely different. Gotta trust Peters and give him the leeway to run his process. And never hurts to know who’s good w their wedges
— JP Finlay (@JPFinlayNBCS) April 17, 2024
For clarification, some aspects of these visits will be done with the players together and interacting with each other, and other things will be done individually.

If these last 10 years has taught us anything… it’s that you can’t pay BOTH your QB and no. 1 wide receiver and expect to seriously contend for a Super Bowl… @heykayadams pic.twitter.com/MsPVA3G1VG

Drake Maye is a QB prospect in the 2024 draft class. He does not qualify for a #RAS due to a lack of measurements. https://t.co/fBlQwkDfNK pic.twitter.com/0bir34v2YD

The one thing I feel really bad about is that with the Caps winning tonight and making the playoffs, the Penguins game tomorrow night is now for absolutely nothing.
You just hate to see that.
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) April 17, 2024
Cannot believe the Caps made the playoffs despite everything that went against them this season. While rebuilding and selling for draft picks.
McMichael made a leap.
Protas improved immensely.
LaPierre was a major factor.
Malenstyn was a shot-blocking, hit-delivering…
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) April 17, 2024
The Caps veteran core came up huge during their unlikely playoff run.
Ovechkin racked up 24 goals in his final 36 games.
Carlson led the NHL in TOI. Most impressive season at age 34.
Oshie battled serious back injuries as heart and soul. GWG to clinch playoffs.
Wilson’s line…

This is hilarious. The Flyers were eliminated one minute and 45 seconds (real time) before Torts pulled his goalie to play for the win.
He either didn’t get word in time or stuck to his plan to play for the regulation win. https://t.co/LVgrfZxjAR
— Grant Paulsen (@granthpaulsen) April 17, 2024
The Capitals have made the Stanley Cup Playoffs for a 33rd time in 41 seasons. No team in Washington, D.C. sports has made the playoffs like the Caps have. And this is the most improbable postseason appearance in Caps history. Whatta job by Spencer Carbery & his players. #ALLCAPS
