Burgundy and Gold Obsession

With the draft approaching, I thought it would be a great time to take a look back at a little Redskins/WFT draft history. If you are up to it, your task is to assemble your ultimate Redskins/WFT draft class. Task Description: 1. Imagine you were given the keys to the franchise and had to start the WFT from the ground up tomorrow. 2. You can go back and assemble a full draft class of former/current players (Rounds 1 - 7). In total, you will select 7 players. 3. You can only select players for each round based on where they were actually taken in their draft year. For example, Chase Young, Mark May and Art Monk are all former 1st round picks for our team; however, you can only take one former first rounder to start your new franchise. The same goes for rounds 2 through 7. So, this exercise does not become as simple as saying "I am going to take Chase, Sean, Art, Darrell, etc..." You need to examine the history of each round for our franchise carefully. 4. Since...

Also... official Not sure if anyone else is watching this but they didn't even put any other player up as an option. Then his wife recited a short tribute to him while they showed some of the film from the Project 11 special.

Social media and WFT Land is absolutely abuzz with rumors, wishful thinking, and angst... most feel Ron Rivera needs to find his QB of the future sooner rather than later. There are many ways to skin a cat, and screw up a QB selection. So what do you think? You can select your top 3 options to help our WFT achieve QB nirvana! Pick your poison boys and girls.

Welcome to the BGO Mock Draft. Wanted to do something a little different and give everyone a VOTE! I will include a handful prospects that I've found could be around when we pick and let YOU all have a voice. I will include a highlight package from each prospect (when available) and a link to TheDraftNetwork.com and their evaluation of each player. The order of highlights posted do not reflect my personal order of preference, it's totally random. These are also not all of my top picks, they are the common names I've seen linked to us at our pick. I will post all the results in a sticky thread at the top of the board. Voting for each round will be open for 3 days and then it will be LOCKED so get your vote in. When the poll ends for a round I will post the same format for the next round as the previous pick could influence who you take next. Let's try to keep it honest and not write in Trevor Lawrence at 19 because he wont be there. Ties will be broken via another...

For anyone who may have missed one of the longest pressers in recent memory, here is the Mayhew, Hurney, and Rivera press conference in it's entirety.

I hear it all over social media. To be a great team, you have to have a top tier, franchise caliber QB. And Washington needs one desperately. I'm not here to argue that point - because I can't. We all know, setting aside Trent Dilfer and Brad Johnson outliers, that teams generally don't go beyond the first couple of rounds of the NFL playoffs unless they have a premier QB. While there are certainly other factors involved, like having a great defense, or a dominating rushing attack, to be a great team, you have to have, at bare minimum, a very good QB. There are only 4 ways to get a very good QB. 1. Do a mega-trade to acquire a proven top tier QB from another team. 2. Do a mega-deal to move up in the NFL draft for a top-rated QB. 3. Draft a young QB outside of the top 10 picks and hit the jackpot. 4. Stumble blindly onto a great QB ala Kurt Warner. Although Washington has floundered more and for longer than any other NFL team in their efforts to find a great long-term QB...
