I still can't believe we drafted a fricking guard with the 5th pick, but at least he's been very good.

What do we think he's getting next year money-wise?

They thought he was a tackle. And he is signed for two more years.

Picking him also turned Moses' career around as well. Moses was heavy footed and slow off the ball until the Skins brough Scherff in. Those two together have turned into a great tandem.

Yeah, I know they thought he was a tackle. Which is disturbing in itself.

My bad on the years. Brain fart.

I really like Overthecap, but think this is a pretty Glass half empty review:

Yea. Such a silly write up. The only way to evaluate an off-season is how the players perform in a teams system compared to their cost.

This is as stupid as grading a team's draft the day after.

Seems like a pretty fair write-up to me. We’ve made some moves, sure... but we lost quite few good players from a very average 2017 team. I know we had a lot of injuries last year, but i honestly can’t say i think we’d have been that much better if we hadn’t. Talent wise, i think we’ve taken several steps back from where back in 2016. As a fan, I’m always hopeful, but it’s going to take a miraculous draft for us to be any better than 9-7.

- Really? We wouldn't have won at the very least 3 more games if our defense had stayed as effective as it was when Allen, Ioannidis and Foster all were healthy, and our Oline had stayed Williams, Lauvao, Long, Scherff, Moses instead of TJ Clemmings, Arie Kouandjio, Tony F'in Bergstrom, Tyler Catalina and Moses-on-one-leg ?



- As for the OTC review, I think it's too early to judge.

+
Bringing AS was the best possible solution to get out of our QB mess IMO.
Signing Brown and Foster was necessary and was done at fair prices.
Richardson is a nice addition on a reasonable contract.

-
Not crazy high on the Scandrick deal (but we had to bring in someone).
Losing Fuller s*cks (but I think it's safe to say it pretty much was the only way to get Smith)
Wished we kept Spencer Long and Trent Murphy (but not at 7M/y each, they both should have been extended earlier)

Come September, our offseason could be anything from an A if we sign Hankins, trade down, draft Payne, a baller LG, a stud RB and a promising CB to a D if we sign nobody else and have a shitty draft...

Vernon Davis happy to be reunited with Alex Smith, sees improved QB - Washington Redskins Blog- ESPN

forgot about this connection...hopefully Smith can raise Davis's play.

Depth along the Oline is a fucking issue...FO has sat on its hands so far. Not good.

Who would you have had them pick up?

After seeing what happened last year, there is no one in a pool of free agents who could help? It maybe still too early for my criticism with the draft a couple weeks away....late rounders who the team likes could certainly fill that need.

But we need a couple guys and a starting left guard.

We had this discussion before. Last year all the injuries put a huge strain on our line, and gave Callahan a ton of tape on all our backups. Our line when healthy was very good, and with a new off season i trust our depth. I do want to get a left guard in the 4th/5th but we have 4 picks at least in those two rounds.
