CapsSkins Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 If we get Ben Johnson, a former UNC QB, I have to think they target the 6’ 4”, 230 lb, young 21/22 year old UNC QB Drake Maye at 2 overall. Makes too much sense. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Panninho Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Man, I would like to see Snyder's face now that everyone is saying how attractive Washington is and us getting the best guy in the market while nobody wanted to work for him. Dude got 6bn but I bet he is miserable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Everyone making the Peters-Johnson dick jokes realizes now we'd be locked into Michael Penix, right? Anyway, I'm happy, but I'm going to temper my enthusiasm a bit. Remember, we were pretty excited about Scot McCloughan who put together the Legion of Boom in Seattle and ran his own scouting service. I know there were the previous alcohol issues but he was considered one of the top drafting minds in the business when he came on board and we saw how that worked out. I know, new ownership all of that, but it has been a long time. I'm cautiously optimistic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Idaho fan Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 One would have to think that this hire will absolutely help fill any and ALL other openings we have. At this moment, what coach or FO staff wouldn't want to be a part of this? The most sought after GM candidate came here. We have big draft and Cap capital. We have a quality new owner. There is a lot of excitement about the rebuild and future. I say we have become the first choice for most if not all potential hires. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To see this franchise attack success and land the top young talent. We haven’t had that in a while. And even crazier…they want to come here. Adam Peters is widely considered a top football executive who has worked in multiple great organizations and he wanted to come here. Sure seems like Ben Johnson has a decent shot at coming here. Again, I’m always going to temper Washington Football Team expectations but this feels pretty damn cool. Yep absolutely. You're never guaranteed success but when you have smart people in place and a sound organizational structure and philosophy, you at least give yourself a chance. But even the best guys whiff on draft picks from time to time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scot was basically who Tim Gribble is now -- just a higher profile version of it. That is, a dude who makes draft recommendations for Bruce. Tim made the recommendations for Ron. But it was Bruce-Dan's vision running the team. Just like was Ron's vision running the team. Peters is running the show. The draft. FO. It's his show. His vision.

I agree, we still have a lot of work to do to get the titanic off the ocean floor and restore her to her former glory before we can set sail again. Just look at the giants, same exact scenario 2 years ago, Schoen and dabol were a huge get for them, the first year was good (not great) and they took a big step back this year. This could take a while but it certainly feels like we finally turned a corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cboatner Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 I noticed that both candidates for President of Football Ops have degrees in psychology. This is telling for the direction of the franchise and a stark contrast to the Snyder era where players were treated like chess pieces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granted it was only 9-7 and 8-7-1, but still. Considering who the owner was, that era was a smashing success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spaceman Spiff Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Happy about this move. This is the move that I wanted to see. A good GM candidate coming from a strong team. 13 minutes ago, Forehead said: Everyone making the Peters-Johnson dick jokes realizes now we'd be locked into Michael Penix, right?

He was doing pretty well here, he just got axed for whatever reason, I can't remember. But I remember he hit on a few good players in the draft and I think was turning it around decently.

RFK Lives Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 The fact moves are being made and not waiting for after the Super Bowl, the sense of urgency is there but it's not reckless. Nice to have some adults in charge. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I recall, the speculation around here was that Scot was getting too much credit, and Bruce's ego couldn't handle it. The given reason was some kind of misbehavior, I believe.

OtisDriftwood25 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 Good news. I am excited they are acting fast due to the importance of this draft. Getting a trusted draft scout should be next in line so he can focus on the the rest of the front office. 350 players in 3 months is a pretty big time crunch.
