NFL Draft Preview: Washington Redskins

Special treat today, kids! Our good friend Awful Announcing has volunteered to write a Redskins draft preview for TalkingNFL. Didn’t cost much either; just a case of Glenfiddich (go figure, AA likes the hard stuff) and an exchange of postings (mine will appear on his quality site later this week).

Go ahead, dig in. (mmmm…salty fan humor. Yum!)

Washington Redskins 2007 Draft Preview

As the NFL Draft approaches the Washington Redskins need to answer me one question. When are you going to figure that you can’t buy a ring? For years they have dismissed the draft by trading away boat loads of picks for overpaid talent that rarely work out. And while they continue to wallow in mediocrity….teams like the Patriots, Broncos and Ravens pick up the All-Pros that Washington passes on.

You could also argue that the Redskins have no idea how to draft in the first place. This is a team that has drafted players like Patrick Ramsey (below), Rod Gardner, Michael Westbrook, Heath Shuler, and Tom Carter…..all in the first round.

Either way you look at it the Skins fail at one thing over everything else. Scouting. And who is to blame for that? Vinny Cerato. If you’re not aware of him, he’s the Skins Director of Player Personnel and an all-around horrible fake GM (Joe Gibbs is “technically” the GM, but he does nothing).

I purpose the Skins trade Cerato to the unemployment line for a piece of equipment to be named, and $50 in McDonald’s Cash.

They then trade down from the 6th pick to somewhere in the middle of the first round, and pick up a 2nd round selection. They then draft a defensive lineman and a linebacker….maybe Jamaal Anderson (DE- Arkansas) and Brandon Siler (Fla.) or Buster Davis (FSU, pictured below).

From there you pray that Donovan McNabb, Tony Romo, and Eli Manning all go down with season ending injuries, and you make the playoffs. Other than that…..they’re screwed.
