WP: Cerrato gets an extension

http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A3411-2004Feb24.html

Vinny Cerrato has agreed to a three-year contract extension with the Washington Redskins to continue as vice president of football operations. Last season, Cerrato, 43, was promoted from director of player personnel to his current position.

So much for Gibbs having no use for him, LOL

I've always thought he takes too much blame for the Skins recent woes anyway.

I agree Matty, I thought hes done a good job with some of our draft picks the past few years. Theres always someone who has to take it though, mine as well be him lol.

Anyone can draft good players in first round especially when its in top 5. What has Cerrato done in later rounds. Nothing special if u ask me.

Anybody to take away some of the power from Synder.

skins009:

If you think that Cerrato will take power away from Danny Boy, you are living in a delusion.

I wouldn't mind this so much if Cerrato wasn't such a Yes Man...

Gibbs will have his way...just remember who Snyder "grew" up watching his team win Super Bowls...

cousinvinnie is pretty fair evaluator of talent at the top of the FA food chain and at the top of the Draft, but a blank palette when it comes to evaluating talent further down in the draft, and a blank wall when it comes to trading for DL to fill out a team during late summer, or to fill in any team injury needs. Overall, anyone here can read Mock Drafts and other teams rosters to see who the starters are and the best subs! The job could easily be done by anyone here on this board! I think that is the point! Anyone could do his job!

Top picks aren't just a drop in the bucket folks, ever heard of a draft bust?? There are far more busts that come from top picks than don't, so let's not just write off what Vinny has done with top picks as blind luck. The whole draft is a crapshoot, not just the later rounds.

We never seem to have more than two draft picks for him to use anyways! Hard to mess up what you don't have! ;)
