That's pretty hilarious.

I am not sure if this has already been posted, but the Redskins are interviewing Jamaal Charles. Interesting, I am guessing it would probably take a first rounder to get him.

I mentioned this in a previous post but the Skins worked out Jamarcus Russel last season too, so the fact that we work out a high profile player doesnt mean anything untill we actually draft them.

Jamaal Charles isnt high profile

He's high enough profile to make people think we will draft him in the first or second round when we should be drafting a DB or WR.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

People think alot of things

[Dirtyskin21]

Well coaches always work out the better players because that helps them be able to better evaluate other players talent in the drafts to come. You can see every differen't type of player and their style, and in my opinion that would help you be able to scout/draft players better in the later rounds when you have worked out the better players.

This is just my opinion but I would think this is why, plus you NEVER know when a player will drop to you or what not.
