Worst Mistake of the Shanahan Era

Then take an olinemen this year, maybe Kyle Long and you have your pick next year. Sounds like GM 101 to me. But the Redskins do what they do best....overpay. Here's what it comes down to. Was RG3 miles better than Wilson, Foles or Cousins? No way.

If this team was a QB away from contending? Make the deal. But that simply was not the case.

I would see us drafting Trent Richardson as that would've been an area of concern and we just drafted LB in the first round last year. We needed an upgrade at RB, but it is clear the FO and coaching staff still had faith in Fletcher getting it done.
