Forget about the last poll which was essentially just a wound-licking excercise for distraught fans. I will say props to the intrepid soul who chose solipsism as a viable mourning option. "If the Redskins playoff hopes don't exist, neither will anything else!" This is homerism at its best, as Football Fans are nothing without spite and deniability.
Like drunks coping with depression, this season has driven us from naive hope to desperation to denial to anger and frustration and, finally, a familiar return back to naive hope (there's always 2007!!!!). There's always the draft as well. With that in mind, this week's poll is: Which position should the Redskins draft for in Round 1? Of course this question is ludicrous, as the Redskins will trade away their first round draft pick for a Krusty Wallclock, but that won't stop us from speculating.
So vote now on the Redskins most immediate need to be filled by the draft pick we'll inevitably trade away anyways. I've removed position options I didn't think would be wise to draft, though you can revolt against that with an "other" vote (with explanation).
Also, for all you Gilbert Arenas fans, please welcome Bullets Forever, SB Nation's new Washington Wizards blog:
Pradamaster is the blogger there and we're thrilled to have him under the growing SB Nation umbrella. Here's his old site.
And if you haven't already (and I told you to do so months ago), check out Federal Baseball for all your Washington Nationals needs. Basil, who runs the site, is about as good a blogger as exists in all of Internetdom. So get over there.
