The Redskins have shown interest, having attended each of their pro days. They sent multiple people to Alexander’s workout, which of course was the closest one. Based on what I’ve read, and what I’ve been told, it seems as if Beal is the best of the bunch and would get drafted the highest. Not everyone thinks that; I do know some who view Alexander as that guy. But my guess is that the Redskins view Beal as the top available player. Some think Alexander will warrant a mid-round pick; I’ve talked to others who project he and Bryant as seventh-rounders in this draft. Alexander ran a 4.6 at his pro day, which will scare some teams unless they view him as a safety.

The Redskins are doing due diligence on these players, but it clearly goes beyond just basic homework. It’s always good to add young corners, especially when two of your top three -- Josh Norman and Orlando Scandrick -- are 30 and 31, respectively. They also have several other young corners with question marks. And they need more depth at safety, if they felt one of these players fit better at that position. I don’t know if they will pick one of them, but yes, there is interest.


Expect for us to submit bids for at least one of these guys.[/quote]

I doubt higher than the 5th round though.

I dont like Gruden's incredibly weak and insecure comments in this article.
Gruden should do his job, talk about facts and keep his opinions to himself.
Someone needs to explain to Gruden football is team sport and the head coach is part of the team.

Jay isn't the best speaker for sure, I agree just coach the team

THis was just standard coachspeak. Positive, not gushing. Generalized praise without over emphasizing one player's importance.

I'm personally kind of tired of Gruden. To me he's just a college coach. All he had to say was, " we wish Kirk well and we're happy that we landed Smith." That's it. Last time I checked Gruden has not won a damn thing, can't manage the clock worth shit, hires Joe Barry over Wade Phillips and pisses games away in the 4th q... see New Orleans. You're on the hot seat dude.

To me that's one of the big ones. He had 2 opportunities to get d-coordinator right, first with Haslett then with Barry. Both times failed miserably. If he can't evaluate coaches as good as he evaluates players eventually his time will come to end.

Haslett and Barry were bad, but there was no talent on those defenses.

I still don't understand how people are obsessed over and have the disillusion that Wade Phillips was going to come here. The guy went to the Broncos that year, there was no way in hell he would have come to our no talent squad.

Re: Redskins Offseason Thread
 

Is Phillips a better coordinator than Barry or Haslett? Absolutely. Was he going to come here and work miracles with the same sub par talent? No.

Re: Redskins Offseason Thread
 

I know it's bad guessing how Cofield went down that path, but I really hope it's not another case of "athlete gets addicted to pain meds during playing career and switches to cheaper dope once the big money stops coming in."

Hope he finds the help he needs.
