Scot McCloughan to be new Redskins GM

[Beat the Cowboys]

I like everything I've heard so far. Looking forward to my first draft in a long time.

After watching the press conference and listening to SM interviews. I'm impressed with this guy so far.

My wife mocks me every time I keep reading one of his quotes out loud. He is all about building good teams through the draft, haven't been this excited for a draft in a while. I'm hopefully we can get some solid contribution for next year. I'm also hopeful the embers in the bottom of the dumpster are really out...

I'm not so sure this year's draft will be all that impressive, as he'll basically be using the advice of scouts he's unfamiliar with. And who for all we know may not know what the hell they're doing lol. As odd as it is to say, I'm actually more excited for 2016 when he's fully evaluated the scouting department and brought in his own guys.

SM has been running his own scouting agency for a year already. We used him to scout some of the players we picked last draft. This draft should be a good one for us.

So the question on my mind, and probably everyone else's, is what happens when SM makes a decision that Dan doesn't agree with, and Dan forces his will? Dan's done it before with the draft - that's why we have RG3. Who comes out on top? Owner or GM? I think as long as SM does everything that dan agrees with, its no problem....but, it also seems like this has a good chance of ending up like the Marty Shottenheimer debacle

Ar this point I'm sure Dan will just stay out of everything. He wants to win just as bad as we do but for some reason he just can't ever get it right. Hopefully now he does

Hopefully Scot will prove though the draft he knows what he is doing and when a situation like that arises Scot will be able to say "Trust me"
