Re: Redskins Mock Draft
 

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;1221556]I disagree completely. I think free agency was a net gain for us.

Of players projected to be starters, we lost a good-but-not-great OLB and an injury-prone receiver. For both of those players, we already have replacements on the roster drafted in previous years.

We added a low-end starting QB and an elite safety. And we also essentially added an elite ILB with the news foster would not be suspended.

Additionally, its not like the draft will be it for us. We are generally active in the next waves of free agency: the post-draft and post-june 1 cuts. I would not be surprised if get a really good starter who is a surprise cut by his team.

I'm not saying we have had a stellar offseason by any means, but I think our overall roster is already better than we were when the season ended.[/quote]

Good perspective

Re: Redskins Mock Draft
 

My final projection for next week.

15th Pick - Hollywood Brown
46th Pick - Josh Rosen

Time to build this offense

Re: Redskins Mock Draft
 

Let's not forget that, while it isn't free agency, we ought to get a number of guys back healthy who were out last year, and so that will be an influx of some talent (with Guice being exhibit A). Obviously, this all matters if they can stay healthy and we don't have other bad injuries (which happen every year to everyone), but getting back guys we expect to start like Guice, Quinn, Richardson, Scherff, Dunbar, Reed and other potential contributors like, Robert Davis, Apke, Cam Sims, and Geron Christian will help a lot. We had 24 guys on IR last year, or something like that. Some are healthy (and have signed elsewhere too), but we'll get some talent back.

All is not lost in April.

Re: Redskins Mock Draft
 

Some of the guys we're getting back will just end up getting hurt again.

These would be two solid ways to spend on the first 2 draft pics.....but if the Redskins acquire Rosen in a trade I have a feeling that Allen will do something very stupid......like send next year's 1st or 2nd rounder to Arizona....

Yup....and the cycle of players getting injured could continue......I think one of the reasons this keeps happening is the practices under Gruden are light and soft and once they get to game speed on Sunday the team is under prepared because of the fierce pace out on the gridiron.....

Is there anything tangible to support your opinion?

Signing and retaining players with injury histories probably correlates more with predicting future injuries than anything that happens in practice.

Consistent with your theory, Jay should have been harder in practice on players like Reed, Moses, Lavau, Richardson, Nicholson despite their history of missing time due to injury?

Re: Redskins Mock Draft
 

Whomever we draft I really hope they start looking at a players injury history. We just have too many guys that can't stay healthy. What good is a stud player if he's always in the damn cold tub?

Re: Redskins Mock Draft
 

The Redskins might have fewer injuries if the refs would call some penalties on the opposing team every now and then.

Don't forget, we also signed the living embodiment of a turnstile who plays tackle but we're planning on moving him to guard. And only for the low price of 3-4 mil guaranteed!
