Redskins Offseason Thread

If I'm looking at the NFCE right now without having my homer shades on, I see it as

1. PHI
2. WSH
3. DAL
4. NYG.


The eagles are champs and had a great O/S adding more talent to an already good roster.

We have loaded up on talent for AS, Burner at WR, All purpose RB , added OL help.
Addressed a huge need on the DL. Our only negative was losing Fuller.

Dallas has lost their top 2 targets from the last 5 years... I don't care who you are, that will hurt.. Dak isn't good enough yet to carry a REC corp.

The Giants added Barkley yes but Eli is still on the decline and they still have big ?'s on the OL. Plus the WR's not named Odell are all avg at best guys. Losing JPP will hurt too.
I doubt the Eagles repeat, but they are first and haven't hurt themselves enough this offseason to definitively lower them.

I think the Giants and Skins will fight for 2nd. I disagree about the Giants having big questions on their oline. Solder, Hernandez are huge upgrades, and having Barkley as a running threat should slow the pass rush.

I would be shocked if Dallas finishes above .500 as of now.

I saw Florio say something about this possibility too.

I will believe it when I see it. But, I won't be upset if this does happen.

Sounds like Allen wants a pay raise from Snyder.

I'm a BA fan as far as player evaluations go, the other non sense like "Kurt" we could do without

Speaking of Bruce Allen's talent evaluations, the guys in bold are the ones that are still with the team, either as starters or some backup role (and forgive me if I have missed a name or two.) The guys in red are the ones I know of still playing in the league and either starting for another team or have some amount of playing time. The rest are guys - I'm assuming are no longer in the league, or maybe a practice squad guy or whatever. I'm not counting last year's draft, because I think it's too soon to make a proper judgement on that draft.

Assuming it takes about three years to really judge if your draft was a winner or not, we're seeing that since Allen came to the team and up to 2014 - we've had about 5 players to stick. You could also include players that we have just let go in free agency of this offseason, such as Niles Paul, Kirk Cousins, Trent Murphy, and Breeshaud Breeland. We've had a couple 5th rounders to turn out pretty good, a few third rounders. For a few of those seasons, we didn't have a number one draft pick. Looks like Allen was good around the third round.

Overall, I'm not sure I would say I'm THAT big of a fan of his talent evaluations. He had heavy input from Mike Shanahan in a few of those drafts, and Scot McCloughan for a few of those drafts as well. Williams has had some input as well. Maybe I'm wrong not to give Allen as much credit as he deserves, but I don't see how he has been that great with talent evaluations.

This is good news!
Glad they realized they made a mistake with this guy and dumped him sooner than later.

Good write up man, I think its def a collective group effort.. Not all goes to BA but in general since he's been the GM our roster has had some very good draft picks and talent come here. Trent of course was the home run hit but KC wasn't far from a HR as well. If you look at this list, it shows a pretty consistent level of 1 and 2 round choices that have immediate impact. Payne and Guice should continue this trend.

McClain just got cut?
