Redskins - tied for 4th best draft. Hard to get used to this phenomenon.

Not bad too considering we were picking at #21 in each round and not in the top 10-12 picks as we had been doing for many years where we came up snake eyes.
Interesting that practically every "draft grade" by practically every "expert" is based on how well the grader thinks the team addressed perceived team needs ... rather than BPA.
I noticed that as well. Last year I felt like we went need more than BPA, in contrast to what McL preached before the draft. This year I felt it was more in line with his overarching BPA/Character/Fit philosophy. Need is always a factor, but it seems clear to me that if there isn't a long term solution at a particular pick, even if we have a strong need, he's willing to pass and continue to build towards the future. It is such a completely different approach than the knee jerk approach we'd had for decades, that it feels odd.

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE seeing great grades for my team, but just as we were all quick to point out that draft grades this early are meaningless when we got graded down, we should keep that in mind here as well. Too soon to know.
I like the overall philosophy that Scot showed last week, but the results will have 3+ years to speak for themselves.
Sadly, right now is the exact time we should be grading Vinny and Bruce's drafts, but... I don't want to.

2008 was probably the worst draft in team history. I can't remember the last time a team had THREE second round picks and they were all busts.
Vinny was one in a million.
A 12 year old with a $20 draft guide could have done a better job.

All I know is NOTHING can top that 2008 draft am I right?!??
All pro's Thomas, Davis, Comb, Rinehart, Tryone, Brooks, Moore, Colt 44, Rob Jackson & Horton were that year! That shit was epic

Funny thing was Horton looked really good... for like two games. Out of the league four years later.

Agree times a zillion. I begin looking at tape/vids starting every mid October and continue until the eve of the draft. It's still not perfect, but knowing what you see makes the mocks a lot better. Scouting reports are fine, but let me see the goods.
It's not easy at first, but once the routine is established each season it gets better. By mid February to the draft I typically rise at 5am on Saturdays and go well into the evening - with breaks. I treat it like a job and love that it keeps me occupied.
McD5 thinks that I should do this close to full time with one of the Redskins services out there and get paid for it. My loyalties are here. Getting any kind of work at home is what I would like and could do - with permission. Maybe it is an option.
