Yes we did do an actual draft this year. Had 12 picks, which is OUT OF THE NORM for this organization. I am not dooming and glooming this team. It is a fact that this team poo poo's on the draft. Just like you said you have NEVER seen them draft with a purpose like this before. Basically what I am saying is, I want to hold judgement on this "new" way of doing things and wait to see if this (which is what I have been screaming for for the last 6 years) will become the normal offseason for us, or will this be scrapped in two years and start over again, which is what has been normal for this team. We have said every time a new coach comes in here, its a culture change from Marty, to Steve, to Joe and to Zorn.
I honestly hope this year is different. I am not going to base our success on wins and losses. I want to see development of our young guys, and some guys step up and take positions and put their footprints on this team. With that said, I think we have enough talent on this team to compete with a lot of the NFC teams this year. Only one position is the questions mark, as is most every year in DC, the QB.
I honestly think that Shanny will try and work out a trade or sign a FA veteran to put some wins up this year. Hasselback, Bulger, or Palmer (for picks) stand out to me. Which isn't a bad idea for Shanny. I think there is a ton of pressure on him this year even though the "rebuild" word is being tossed around. I think he has to be .500 or a game better to show progress in Danny's eyes. I just dont see him being patient, especially if we only win a few games. (which why the hell are we suppose to be the worst team in the NFL next year)
