SM doesn't need to spend money on over-priced FAs, he need to get as many draft picks as he can get so this team can start down the road of drafting and developing players like all successful NFL teams do. SM has a huge and very difficult job ahead.

I hope SM has told them they're in rebuild mode. Seems to me that's a tough pill to swallow for Snyder and Allen. We need to operate just like Jacksonville is. Even though they suck, they're doing it the right way.

Its a tough pill to swallow for everyone. The best thing the Skins could do is to think of themselves as an expansion franchise (the sad truth is they aren't too far removed from an expansion franchise talent) and build from the inside out.

During that draft, I heard McC was high on Cousins.

Gruden still likes him too so it's doubtful they move him.

Yup. I got a feeling now RG3 will certainly be moved now.

Not high enough on him to pick him ahead of where they took Wilson in the third round though.

Yeah, I mean McC is not an idiot.

It is really odd how low level news this is to like ESPN and SI....I have to like hunt for it on their web sites.

It is low level on ESPN and the NFL Network because nothing is official yet, after the press conference to introduce him is over they will give it plenty of attention.

Just thought about this, but one thing that could ruin this offseason for me is if the Cowboys win the Super Bowl. For some reason I think they beat GB based on more BS. It's bad enough where I live once that bandwagon gets rolling, but if they actually WON one, that would create more generational Cowboys fans.

Everyone loves a winner. :P

If the super bowl ends up being dallas vs. baltimore my football fandom will be in serious jeopardy.

I would have to root for Baltimore, but I loathe either team.

If Carolina gets knocked out this weekend, I'll probably wind up rooting for New England, as crazy as that sounds. Might as well see Tom Brady get one more ring before he retires.

100% agree. Baltimore fans feel almost as bandwagon-y as the Cowboys. As soon as that team got good, even Skins fans defected.

Now, back on topic, for the first time in a while I trust our front office structure and LOVE that he (supposedly) has the autonomy to build the team however he wants.
