Instead of breaking down the rest of the first round, I decided that I wanted to keep things more Redskins-centric. The only problem is that leading up to the draft there is not a whole lot to discuss since Washington only has one pick on Day 1. While it would be nice to trade down a few spots to get more draft picks and find ways to fix multiple holes, I have a feeling the draft is going to be pretty boring to watch on TV.
But to make up for the lack of draft action the Redskins will once again hold their annual draft party at Fed-Ex Field where players and coaches will be in attendance for fans to meet. This may just be a cheap way to buy the fans' satisfaction when draft time rolls around, especially since the team has placed an emphasis on everything but the draft the past couple of year, but if the situation warrants it, I would actually like to check out the party if I can.
If I don't make it however, this is an open plea to the Daniel Snyder and the front office - please, please, please find a way to actually get something out of this draft. We've had to many mediocre drafts in recent history and if this team is ever going to be a constant playoff contender, we will actually need to get some consistent quality out of the draft. And the best way to attack that problem is to actually hold onto and draft players in the first place.
