Redskins Made Smart Choice With Kerrigan

[IrMitchell]

We clearly made the wrong selection...
Taken from Walter Football:

Washington failed to draft a quarterback on Thursday and Friday, prompting Adam Schefter and Chris Mortensen to report that the team plans on going with John Beck in 2011. Translation: The Redskins will have the No. 1 pick in the 2012 NFL Draft.

The Redskins had some really good picks. They also had some really questionable selections. As far as the pure prospects are concerned, the draft was pretty average. Having said that, I'm really befuddled by Bruce Allen's decision not to acquire a quarterback or much offensive line help. Beck doesn't stand a chance behind Washington's pathetic front.

What saves Washington from an abysmal grade is its plethora of trade downs. I loved that. That said, Allen and Mike Shanahan may have just locked up Andrew Luck. Maybe that's their plan.
