Outstanding job by Kyle Smith in the draft. The free agency this past spring was another pretty good job as well being it was the first time without Bruce doing retard shit like making Landon Collins the highest paid safety in the league.

Hopefully the GM choice will not chase Kyle away. I don’t know if a choice of GM that scares folks, but losing Kyle as a result. We can see the tangible results of Kyle and understand the contribution to winning.

And then we can see the tangible result of Martin Mayhew help destroy an organization like Detroit. It’s okay not to want that here. He would be an awful choice.

I’d like to go with the guy from Tennessee.

Detroit is perpetually broken so you can’t blame that on him necessarily. Btw the only time they’ve gone to the playoffs recently was under his guidance.

I don't know that I would declare the last three drafts as outstanding (unless you are comparing it to previous Redskins draft classes). My guess is they are more likely on par with the majority of the league as far as the percentage of players selected that have shown to be solid contributors.

I'd be interested to know how much input Ron and some of the other coaches had in the draft last year. Hard to imagine he sat back and had zero say in things.

Ravens had a hell of a 2018 draft .. was this Ozzie last draft or their new guys first?

32 QB Lamar Jackson (mvp)
83 LT Orlando Brown (pro bowl) -- we took project tackle Christian 8 spots earlier FML
86 TE Mark Andrews (pro bowl)

I think he had a lot of input. His mantra with regard to players is they must have versatility. You can see that in the 2020 picks.

Charles can play tackle and guard, Ismael can play all three interior O-line positions, Hudson had experience at Safety, CB, LB, and Edge rusher in College, Gibson is a hybrid WR/RB, Curl can play CB and Safety, Gandy-Golden is described as a swiss army knife...

I think the main thing everyone can agree on is we want Kyle Smith retained. It would be a major blow to see him leave and thrive elsewhere.

Regardless of who gets named official GM, I think Smith has at least earned some time here to work with Ron and prove his worth. And maybe eventually become GM.

I like the idea of hiring an experienced GM and promoting Smith to Asst. GM where he can learn the ropes. Except by doing that, you most likely have to be ready to release/promote him within the next 3 years, after he's learned enough.

What I got out of that article:

"We saw Tyrod really develop and emerge into being a starting quarterback in this league and play pretty well," DeCosta said.

It wouldn't be a major blow if he moved on and thrived elsewhere, if they were able to assemble a team here that also thrived.
