So did Josh Rosen actually say he didn't want to play for the skins?..

 

No he never said that. I listened to the pod which I always do and Kevin is very well connected and he just offered an informed opinion and was saying he doesn't see us landing Rosen anymore.

Don't know if there is anything to it but there is one 180 about this predraft process compared to what i recall in recent years.  As we are getting closer to the draft guys like Haskins and Lock seem to be more in conversation that they could be there at 15.  Typically from what I recall the buzz tends to be QBs are going higher than initially expected when we get this close.  In this process, some of these QBs started in range of 15, then they got a lot of talk as being top 10 or even top 5.  Now its back to them being in the 10-18 range or so typically.

 

It could all be BS.  But its one weird dynamic from the past.  The exception I can think of was the 2011 draft where the QBs ended up higher than late mocks projected.  But even in that draft I recall Cam Newton going back and forth like a ping pong in mocks but as things got closer most projected him going really high.  Locker and Gabbert went higher than most expected.

 

Personally I hope they don't trade up.

I think the 180 effect is because this is a weak QB group.  In early mock drafts the pundits persuaded themselves that teams would do what they normally do and fall in love with certain prospects and take them high but as we get closer to the event it is looking like for once the QB needy teams are going to be disciplined about their boards and not reach.  Of course it just takes one early surprise like the Raiders taking Haskins and it could trigger panic that will lead to wild trades to get in position for Lock and Jones but it is starting to look more likely that we will see someone do a Geno Smith and have to come back on day 2 to get picked.

I HOPE the Skins let the draft come to them.  Whether they can sit back and be patient (Snyder) is another story.  If they can wait on their pick to be called at #15 they will have many options and I think a QB they like will be there.  There will probably be a couple.  The wise thing for them to do, IMO would be to work a trade for Rosen and get him w/o surrendering out 1st and then trade down and still get a player of impact in the 1st while gathering an a 2nd (if used in the Rosen trade) or an extra 3rd rounder +.

I am with you as for don't force a pick.  It's a deep draft IMO for their positions of need so exploit it to the hilt and don't give up draft picks.

 

Having said that if what's below is true then the Redskins two years in a row weren't given any Sunday Night games.    I've documented how national and local guys have talked about how the Redskins are becoming less relevant on the national stage in recent years and maybe some of that is bleeding into ticket sales and declining TV ratings.  And part of the narrative for them going for a QB (if true) is Dan wants a splash and QB is the natural spot to do it.  I guess will see.

I genuinely think trading up for a QB is the wrong kind of splash though, it is pretty clear from the comments here that we will be burning effigies of Dan and Bruce on draft night if they do that, particularly if it is a big move like going up to 3 in a trade with the Jets.  The adults in the room have to be letting Dan know that any of these guys is likely to struggle and a rookie QB means a probable 3 win season and reboot which is not going to do anything for the teams relevance or profile.  An offensive weapon like Hockenson or an EDGE like Burns is probably going to be more impactful and might do more to get people excited about watching the team again.

Yes the less amount of primetime games the better.. a lot better chances that way..

The Skins are going to get this quarterback thing right and I'm telling you now that offensive line is going to stay solid all year and the Skins are going to have a double headed monster run us to the playoffs..top ten defense.. licking my chops with this schedule coming out.

Yeah I echo the "don't force it" when it comes to this draft. Especially at the QB position.  Barring some kind of miracle way out of left field, I think we all have to accept that the QB situation in 2019 is going to be mediocre. Just the way it is.  The one thing you DO NOT WANT TO DO is force pick a QB with the first pick out of desperation for the sake of having "drafted a QB" and then they turn out to be middle of the road or worse.  That would just muck things up even worse.

Trade picks for Rosen, draft a Qb at 15, trade up for the 1st overall, or just stay put with a Case of Colt, in any way they do it in the end will hillariously backfire into another 4 to 8 win season. 

 

Browns will win 11+ for the 2nd time since the last time the Redskins have, guaranteed, even if it's not this season but years from now.

Trade 15 and Keemun to Arizona for Rosen and 33. 

 

Take WR, LG, Edge, TE with picks in R2+3. 

 

Rosen + Hollywood Brown + Lindstrom would be a nice “draft haul” if we could swing it. 

 

Arizona would want 15 to grab Ford or Williams or even go edge or DT. 15 is something I could see them valuing. If we can swap with 33 if puts us in the seeet spot for both IOL and WR with our first 2 picks. 

 

While we’d be removing ourselves from edge in r1 we could still go to that well in the 3rd and get a rush specialist to complement Anderson

It's over, guys. No trade, no drafted QBs. We got our guy.

When announcing the Ioannidis signing the Redskins also revelaed they signed quarterback Josh Woodrum.

Woodrum last played in the AAF with the Salt Lake Stallions, making him the latest Washington signing out of the now defucnt football league. The 26-year-old QB does have some NFL experience, spending time with the Giants, Colts, Bears, Bills, Ravens, and Browns organziations.

 

You can close the thread now, it was an interesting run.

Yep,  just wait til they see him in preseason - they'll be annointing him starter for the next decade, considering

his legacy is his NFL Preseason play.

"With that being said, he did ball out for Baltimore in the 2017 exhibition portion.

Overall, he finished 25 of 36 for 321 yards and four total TDs"

Typically it's a good bet to go against the major consensus.  When your opponents are all penciling in the W as they look at the new year schedule, I'm bullish.  Easy to see how this schedule would benefit the Skins for a fast start vs anything else currently available to evaluate.  It's far more likely for all these Alabama players to play well out of the gate vs any of those offenses being overtly consistent from the onset.  I view it as more likely for the Skins to have success at the first half of this schedule vs the last half.  As the last half has many more tangible factors towards any predictional accuracy.

That's a decent theory imo.  Taking Case was a good insurance pickup with a backside potential trade for Rosen.  Case also comes from the same Air Raid offensive school as They'll be using in AZ.  He makes a valuable backup for Kyler as well as a mentor at the pro level.  

Dont necessarily agree on the draft order of significance as an Edge Rusher and OL starter has much higher need then a rookie WR.  I view the Edge as the top priority and then the OL and WR down the line. The issue with WR is the learning curve as it will take 2 yrs to typically breakout as a Pro WR.  The Edge, OL, DL positions have more immediate starter ready rookies in rounds 1-3.

Therefor you kind of need all the others in place to normally target a WR in the 1st 3 rounds.  That's of course skewed when you have a WR as the highest graded player where your picking.

Haskins is the first in over 50 years to be 1st round worthy.  I don't think that should have anything to do with Haskins valuation.  That said, I don't think he will be there at 15 and I am definitely not in favor moving up to get him.

I don't want to move up either.

Something else to ponder, fwiw...

The last Redskins' QB to win the Super Bowl, we drafted in the 6th Round.

And also had the best OL at the time in the NFL.

So, let's go heavy on OL in the first few rounds :)

I'd like to see two quality OL drafted.  One in the 2nd/early third then with our 1st 5th round pick or earlier if we trade down and acquire another 2nd, 3rd or 4th round pick.
