Re: Should we be drafting Tua???

His feet are not perfect, sometimes throws a half step behind.Tua seems to have an incredibly quick release without any hesitation, whereas Haskins is a tad slower but stands well in the pocket. I would think the NFL would put Tua on the move constantly which would give him more broken coverage opportunities. But Haskins doesn't have that advantage. There does seem to be a noticeable size difference. I think we are talking an A- vs a B (Haskins) if healthy. Both are used to clean pockets and top receivers. We know Haskins is NFL tough and can deliver without WR advantages. I see his floor as a top NFL backup. We really don't know if Tua can take NFL punishment of up to 5 sacks a game, nor how he deals with WR/CB parity. And with his injury history, he does have injury bust potential. But he is no RGIII, he throws incredibly well from the pocket if he were to lose his wheels. If Tua has Haskins mobility, he still has better mechanics and accuracy and delivery quickness. I'd be happy with either. Haskins is a strong and steady B that seems dependable, Tua seems like an A- that could get hurt at any moment. Haskins is actually the safer bet. We just need some explosive offensive playmakers to make up the difference.


Nice analysis. The offense will be better is so many ways over last season:

1: TE. I think the Redskins will outbid the rest of the NFL to get the top TE in FA - either Henry or Hooper. These guys are not elite but very good. I also think the Redskins will use one of their top draft picks (after Chase Young, lol) to go for a TE. BL - TE will be far better than last year.

2. OL - Scherff will stay with a franchise tag. Flowers will be resigned. Trent will probably be traded for a second-rounder. This will add to the cap limit. Use a top draft pick for OT. Use some of the cap money for a OT FA. BL - OL will be decent and better than last year.

3. WR - add either a WR draft pick and/or a WR FA. The rookies from last year will get better.

4. Scott Turner will be better at OC for Haskins then KOC.

The offense will be better for Haskins than last year.
