The people that have a "win now" mentality shouldn't be and aren't the ones making the key decisions
I like Clausen as a QB, I give Bradford the slight edge but if he's there at #4 I wouldn't be against drafting him.
I agree with this post, for the most part.
Look, I don't care if it does say "The Future is Now" all over your ticket renewal stuff, we're not going to win in 2010. The Redskins P.R. machine says we're not rebuilding, but we are rebuilding, regardless of the propaganda they're putting out to try to fool the season ticket holders.
With that in mind, we'll have a much better chance of going to the Super Bowl in the future if we have a franchise QB to lead us there. I'm convinced that JC is not a franchise QB. On the other hand, I think that both Bradford and Clausen might just become franchise QB's. I rate them 1A and 1B. If one of them is available when we pick at #4, we must take him for the sake of the team's future.
As for Suh, if Bradford and Clausen were both off the board, damn right I'd pick him at #4 over any OT in the draft. If there is one thing that is certain in football, it is that the other team can't beat you if they can't score. Haynesworth and Suh as the DE's in our 3-4 defense would be a nightmare for our opponents.
What we need to do is to trade some of our over-rated name players (e.g., Santana Moss and Laron Landry) and players who we no longer need or who don't fit in our new offense and defense (e.g., JC, if we pick a QB at #4, and Andre Carter) for draft picks or for other players who can help us more. Any additional picks we receive could help us re-build our OL in the future. As for now, I think we'll need to look to FA to fill out our immediate OL needs - perhaps with players such as Ben Hamilton, Chester Pitts, or Tony Pashos who have some familiarity with the techniques that Mike Shanahan uses on offense.
