How did the Redskins do on this year's NFL Draft overall?
It will of course all depend on whether Haskins is a legit QB. Given that the last time we selected a winning franchise QB in the first round was about 70 years ago, the odds are not good...about the same as the survival rate for Spinal Tap drummers.
This is kind of where I'm at too.This is easily the best draft that we've had in ten years.
I'd give it an A-, due to the fact that we came away with neither a TE nor a FS.
We just painted ourselves into a corner with the TE position next season. Without a second rounder, we'll either have to invest a first round pick, or wait and hope that we can hit big in round three or beyond.
The rest of the draft was great though.

But with the fanbase dwindling and the need to get the new Qb on the field to draw the fans back
I hope that they can resist the temptation....
From Walterfootball:
The two picks I questioned were...and Wes Martin (a complete unknown)
This is what I feel is going to happen. Wouldn't be a bit surprised to see him starting, and starting early. As soon as he has an official number, count on him being in all the marketing going forward.
My one hope is that if Haskins does experience success as a Redskin, he doesn't become bigger than the franchise itself. I felt that in Robert Griffin's rookie year, we had a case of a guy who was much larger than the team and we paid for it.
It made me cringe every time during our playoff run (as well as early in the playoff game) in Griffin's rookie year when the fans would chant "RG3, RG3!"
It didn't feel like a team to me. It felt like 70 000 people cheering for Robert Griffin, and then there was everybody else in burgundy and gold.
A bit of what I'm describing above can be attributed to why we lost to the Seahawks in the Wildcard round after starting that game with a blistering 14-0 start.
The persona of Griffin was so big that apparently we couldn't win a game without him, which wasn't entirely true.
No use crying over spilled milk though - I'm excited Haskins is here and wish him much success in helping to turn our franchise around.
I believe he's being fairly insulated as well. There are many of our picks this year who have been applauded for their leadership, as well as many who are already in the building who are viewed as good leaders. This can only help Dwayne in making a solid transition hopefully.
