Re: 'No doubt about it,' Redskins need to upgrade at running back

Bruce can only draft top 20 talent.
The rest of his late round picks sucks.
not one second round pick has worked out since he's been here.

Please no trading back.

I would recommend revisiting your thinking, I've listed the last 5 drafts several times in various threads. They all have been solid through the first 5 rounds. I don't think you can ask for better than that.

2nd's
Ryan Anderson (2017) too early
Sua Cravens (2016) Physical talent, head case, we will see
Preston Smith (2015) He's a defensive starter
Trent Murphy (2014) Defensive starter for 3 years and earned a nice FA contract
David Amerson(2013) 2 year starter, 3 for Oakland

How many of those guys are going to see a second contract with the Redskins?

To build through the draft, you need to draft good players and resign/keep them!


Out of curiosity, how would you rate Perines draft value?

Considering the title of this thread, I think he was a wasted pick.

You said Bruce couldn't pick late round talent and that none of our 2nds worked out. The players rhat were selected are still having success in the NFL talentwise. So that was wrong. I could have done 3rd and 4th rounds to prove you even more wrong. The Skins drafts have been talent filled for the past 6 years.

As for Perrine, he is no Kareem hunt but he isn't Trent Richardson either

31 other teams picked in the 2nd round some shined some are off their teams active squads and most are still figuring out NFL speed. That's why you don't grade drafts for 3 years. And Allen's 3-6 year draft record talent wise is damn good.

Not to mention Perine having to have some success running behind an offensive line last year that was mostly made up of players off the street or barely on the practice squad. I want to see what Perine does behind a healthier offensive line this year. There's hope for him yet, but having said that, I do hope the 'skins upgrade that position.

Please don't draft a running back in the first 2 rounds. Fix the lines before worry about skill spots.

Don't be surprised if they do, it's obviously a high priority for the team.

Yeah, I won't be surprised if they do. I'm just hoping they don't.

Re: 'No doubt about it,' Redskins need to upgrade at running back

I have the exact opposite desire. Please DO draft a running back in the 1st 2 rounds. Give me a difference maker. We can find a starting guard in the fourth round.

1. DL/NT
2. RB
4. G

Or if we sign Hankins, trade down and bump everyone else up a spot.

(For both, in an ideal world where talent matches the pick)
