Redskins Offseason Thread

Doug Williams on Drafting:
"You know, I've always said the draft is kind of like a crapshoot sometimes," Williams told Redskins.com. "Sometimes you pick the one that you think is up there and they don't make it, then the guys you pick down at the bottom are the ones who come up top, you never know. It all depends on what's in the guy's heart and how they look at this thing and how they take the game. The most important thing, if they've played this game with a lot of passion, a lot of heart, with the abilities that they do have, nine times out of 10 they are going to be successful."

Does this concern anyone else? I know this doesn't necessarily speak to Dougs ability to evaluate talent, but it doesn't inspire much faith in this FO without Mccloughan. I've heard that Gruden is a good talent evaluator (Cooley, Cousins, and McCloughan have all said it), and I certainly hope so, because in this critical off season we need someone who can find the right guy if Cousins won't stay.

Eh, sounds like just media talk.

To add onto the last post, i do think that Doug will be getting used to his role for abother year or two, and with that, comes media presence etc etc.

Any evaluator will say the draft is a crapshoot, an inexact science.

I'd fire Bruce Allen tonight and make Doug Williams the GM if I could. Don't see anything concerning here. We're not pros but all serious fans, and there are guys I was way off about on both sides of spectrum.

Agree, Williams comments were brutally honest without the polish of used car salesman speak.

I don't mind it at all. The best drafting teams miss, and miss in the first round. It's a total crap shoot

Im all about having gruden pick his next qb in the draft at this point

The Redskins aren't expected to re-sign impending free agent LG Shawn Lauvao.

Starting C Spencer Long is also set to be a free agent. Long opened his career as the Redskins' left guard, but the team also doesn't want him there. Lauvao is now 30 and always seems to be hurt, ending three of the last four seasons on IR. Washington's line crumbled with injuries this past year.

Long and Luavao not wanted back per Tandler. Neither earned an extension this year. peaceout
