Redskins Show Interest in QB Jerrod Johnson at East West Shrine Game Practices

he may be gone before the 5th round. Going to be interesting to see what round he actually gets picked. If the Skins end up liking him they may have to trade up to get him being that we have no picks in the 3rd and 4th.

i dont think they are serious about this guy,they might just want the mock drafters to stop saying we are takin scam newton!

Look on the brightside,we got a 4th round in 2012 for jason campbell n we have all our picks still,should be a nice draft!

I’d like to see the skins address a need other than QB in the first round and perhaps make some moves to grab QB Pat Devlin out of deleware later on. He’s one of the top QB prospects for the NFL, however, he’s slipping down draft boards because he played for Delaware.

Also this is one of the deepest QB draft classes I can recall, so I’m not sure we can really justify snagging one in the 10 spot.

you and i could draft better than the redsklins with nothing more than tv games and an espn draft guide…probably dont even need the tv

I thought he looked pretty good for a low end draft pick….

and FA was at least partly due to a poor scouting staff, rather than a wrongheaded sytem or technique, or any one person making dumb decisions; it was a group failure. It could also be some flaw in how they use the scouting reports, or even one person who somehow mishandles the data. But the system seems reasonable, with one big caveat mentioned below. Based on various interviews, I think (but don’t know) that all the coaches, plus Allen (or Cerrato) and – rarely – Snyder, get together, discuss, sometimes vote, but in any case, rate all the candidates and devise the basic strategy. It seems to be a good system, but could also suffer from one major flaw: it is a committee making the decisions. Committees can fail badly depending on group dynamics. I think it would be better for one person – Shanahan – to make all the final decisions, not trying to please anybody. Listen to everybody, but Mike and only Mike has to do the deciding. Don’t try to keep everybody happy. Say one guy has strong views on 5 different guys, then he’s outvoted on four. There could be the urge to give the poor guy one pick just to be “fair”. But say the one was Cerrato, and he just loved Fred Davis as the best player available?
By the way, if Shanahan did rate four or five of the QBs as roughly equal (very possible based on studies posted right here on HH), it could make great sense to trade down to get more picks in the first two rounds, on the assumption that we could still get one of the presumably equal quarterbacks. I suspect Shanahan doesn’t buy that idea, and in fact is determined to get one particular guy

Most of the Skins scouts were old guys hobbling around. Kid you not.

I just don’t care how old the scouts are, or how well they move around. It really is completely, utterly irrelevant to their jobs. We’re not expecting them to play – my bottom line is performance as scouts. Criticize the scouts for the team’s drafting? Sure! Laugh at them for being old and hobbling (a lot of HoF players have trouble moving around these days – it kind of goes with the football career)? That says more about the idiots posting than it does about the Redskins and their scouts.

the skins would be interested in an injured flash in the pan guy. A couple years ago it was Malcolm Kelly with injury problems. Then the acted surprised he was always too hurt to play.If they’re not giving away picks, they’re wasting them on bums that probably won’t even make it in the league.
