Yup. Last night I went with Burgundy Tide.
I went from Roll Tide to Red Tide

Guice immediately becomes the most explosive runner we've had here since CP ...
And this will piss some of you off, but I see a hint of Terry Allen there.
If his head stays on mostly straight, and we get a bit of fire on that side of the ball out of this kid, we might look back in a few years and think this was a good night indeed.

NFL.com on Geron Christian:
"This is one of the most interesting tackles because he has potential. Some of these tackles like the UCLA kid (Kolton Miller) they aren't going to get much better. This kid just needs more experience and coaching and I think he will be a starter down the road." -- NFC team offensive line coach

IF Guice's head is on straight and he comes out of the draft experience a little wiser about how to act in public, then there is no question on a talent-alone standpoint the Redskins came out of the draft with two of the top 25 prospects in the draft.
That plus adding an OL that can play both left and right tackle with the extra #3 pick via the trade.
Are there some moves I would have made differently?
Perhaps.
I was high on Derwin James and would have taken him if there weren't some lingering concerns about his knee.
But putting James to the side because of the health issue, Payne was the obvious selection.
There really weren't any other DL available that had a blue chip pedigree at #13 for the team to pick.
In Round 2, I would have stayed at #44 and taken Josh Jackson at CB. I am not convinced Dunbar is a starting corner in the NFL. Moreau didn't show enough last year to think he is going to make a run for the job right away.
I think Jackson could have come in and had a legitimate chance to start sometime during his rookie season at a spot you have to have nailed down with the NFL being a passing league.
I also think Ronnie Harrison at S was another player the Redskins could have picked on Day 2. We don't yet know that Nicholson is going to develop into a full-time starter after an injury plagued first year. If he doesn't we only have DeShazor Everett in reserve and he is more of a special teamer.
But again, we needed a running back at some point. And it seemed clear the Redskins were not going to sign any free agent backs that had time in the league, such as CJ Anderson.
After taking Jones and Perine, I also thought the Redskins wanted to take a back earlier in the draft who had a higher floor in the NFL.
Jones was a bust and Perine didn't impress in 2017.
You haven't joined any rooms.
