Why cant the Redskins find these 7th round guys who can step in and play at a high level right off the bat? Its not like Yates is a RB either, he's playing the most important position on the field and doing just fine. There is QB talent outside the top 5 picks but for some reason the Skins just cant seem to find it.

True but it seems like the Skins and the fans seem to think the only way to get a top QB is to draft a big name future "franchise" QB when in reality there is good QB talent that can be had without having to give up a bunch of future picks to trade up.

Take that same 7th rounder, and stick him on the Rams squad and watch him do dick. You can't compare some guy who's playing on a stacked squad to something on ours. We don't have a Andre Johnson or a Adrian Foster. Makes a world of difference.

Good point. But the Skins have so little talent that putting that 1st rounder that they trade up for in the game and he wont be able to do dick either.

Add a true #1 WR and fill holes/add depth with the draft and free agency and there's plenty of talent for any QB to succeed. Our TEs are solid, our RBs are plenty capable and Hankerson could turn out to be very good. Moss and Gaffney at #3 and #4 are fine. No excuses. A good QB would have made a big difference with this year's talent. Becks Grossman was the problem.
