Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Editorial: Why the Redskins aren't an Elite Team

Vinny is now in the open and his first seasons draft picks are now ready for inspection. 7th rounder Chris Horton is a keeper and a solid contibutor to this team in his rookie season.

Our first three draft picks in 2008 so far have been extremely underwhelming. Hopefully they'll do better next year. However, if you are going to put ALL your best picks into one basket - WR/TE, then at least one of them has to be a quick winner. That has not happened.

Using some of your best draft picks in the OL and DL is a prudent investment in the future. So far over the last decade all we done is go for the flashy positions and neglected the foundation. 'Building the house from the top down'.

In year two as pseudo-GM lets see how Vinny does in his drafting. I suggest he will move toward the lines this year as a correction from last.
