Whether or staff is competent is a whole other discussion haha

IMO specific to this draft, if you got a top 5 pick as we do we you go front 7 no question about it. We have a great diverse pool of guys in the defensive front...and I think we could get a good OT in the second round.

You're absolutely right. I'm all for developing our young guys. That is why I stress that we be patient with RG3, Kirk Cousins, David Amerson, Jordan Reed, Philip Thomas, Trent Murphy, etc. In this up and coming draft we need to find those mid and late round gems. I'm confident that we got the right guy picking the players. I can't say the same thing about the guy coaching them.

I keep hearing people refer to Jay Gruden as a qb guru. Which is laughable because I can't think of not one good qb that he developed. Andy Dalton is a average qb with above average talent around him. Gruden was thoroughly out coached this year. The only reason I think he got the job was because he coach in Tampa Bay and his last name is Gruden. This man is Jim Zorn 2.0.

I was never really high on Moses coming out of college. After watching him in limited snaps. I'm convinced that this guy will be a average RT at best. He couldn't beat out Polumbus or Compton. That should say it all. Spencer Long might turn into somebody. At this point, I really just don't know. He couldn't be any worse than Chris Chester.

I have concerns about both of these guys. They couldn't outplay Polumbus, Compton, and Chester. Both of these guys have had serious injuries thus far in their young careers. I'm not sure if Moses is going to be available for training camp. When these guys did get a chance to see the field neither one of them were impressive. I don't have any confidence in these guys.

The OL is just as important as the front seven. The offense will only be as good as the offensive line. Last year we couldn't run the ball without RG3 in the line up. Our OL in below average. The only way we're going to be a good line is if we put some good players on that OL. The pretenders that we have on our team right now will not get it done.

With that being said, I have no problem with investing the first three picks in the front seven. However, I don't believe for a second the guys we have right now on our OL is good enough to get the job done.

Time here will make you see the....Gross error of those statements

IMO this is what we should, we need workers who have the potential with some work to become good. If possible I would trade back twice in the first round and pick another 2nd & 3rd pick. We now have 5 picks in the first 100 picks with the right GM who we have we could get some real workers. We have to many holes to pick a so called SUPER STAR or Can't miss. Just my opinion and everyone has one.

[redskinsfan1980]

You would think a guy that's 6'5 would be at least 250. That's a shocker right there.

I think you saw this.?.?

It’s not always the best athletes that way, but I want them to realize, just because a guy can’t run a 4.4 40-yard [dash], doesn’t mean he can’t play wide receiver or running back. All the sudden you have an offensive lineman who measures 6’2 1/2” when the league average is 6’4”, I could care less about that. Let me know about a football player and we’ll go from there because that’s what’s going to help me on Sundays."

...always thought this was the way to acquire players.

So glad SM is in the building. He's going to get some starters out of this draft.

[That Guy]

at least the skins have one adult in the building. that said, at some point, i'd like to see result (like a team that doesn't reek of dumpster fire).

I know no one is crazy about drafting a S in the first round. But I watched an interview with Landon Collins from Alabama and the dude is a ST idolater. Wore his number, wants to be as good as him and is dying to play for the Skins.

I don't think the Redskins have met with him. But I can't help but like the guy.

The problem is he is a in the box safety, which h we do not need.

Why don't we need a in the box safety? I thought we need players. If we trade back a little and guys are there that can help the team... Well we draft them. Is cam chancellor specifically an in the box safety? I am not comparing him to cam but we need two good safeties. I am not overlooking anyone because on d we can get better everywhere but lolb.
