That would be fine for a team with limited needs, but if the Redskins want to do better than 5-11 this year, we need players that can step in and contribute right away. I've said before, this team is almost set, there's not going to be many additions, therefore the additions we do make must be for quality contributors "now".
Generally, if you have to wait more than a year for a player to be starting quality (quarterbacks are an exception), he's probably not going to be very good.

The name of the game is simple: Just ignore the hype and draft the best prospect. The best prospect will produce at levels respective to his experience, but always at a level higher than lesser prospect.
