Things Are Bad All Over?

We can disregard drafting history. Our draft-monkey has left the building.

Yep, we've got a new regime. Let's pray they get it right over the next few years.

Let's not put all of our draft woes on Vinny (I can't believe I'm defending him). Joe Gibbs, much like Shanahan today, had the final say on all personnel decisions from 2004 through 2007. The only offseason that I pin entirely on Vinny is 2008, although that was among the worst offseasons in franchise history:

• Plugged hard to promote Zorn from newly hired OC to head coach
• 10 player draft has yielded ONE starter (Kareem Moore who is marginal, at best)

Getting rid of Vinny was certainly the right move. We have to keep the faith that Shanny is changing the culture here, and will start winning when he acquires more of his type of players through the draft and free agency.
