Redskins draft prospect watch: Redskins get help from Boise? | Comcast SportsNet Washington
Watching this Fiesta Bowl, the talent of Boise State running back Jay Ajayi will pop off the screen. Ajayi has the ability to go in the first three rounds of the draft, but the Redskins have so many holes, it's hard to imagine an RB being taken that early by Bruce Allen and Co. Just a redshirt junior, Ajayi might head back to Boise for his senior season. If he doesn't, it's possible Washington could view him as a replacement fro free agent Roy Helu.

Redskins draft prospect watch: Safety prospects on display in Orange Bowl | Comcast SportsNet Washington
Players to watch: There is a lot of talk that the Redskins will draw a bead on Landon Collins with the fifth overall pick if the Alabama safety elects to forego his remaining eligibility. But if they decide that fifth is too high to take a safety they almost certainly will be looking for help at the position in the later rounds. That is where they could find Georgia Tech safety Isaiah Johnson.

Changes to the staff. It’s a lock that Allen won’t provide the answers people want. Yes, tough questions will be asked, but this is a press conference not an interrogation with a light overhead designed to make him sweat and feel uncomfortable. He’ll answer the way he wants. We’ll try to ask the same questions over and over to see if one yields a meaty answer. But Allen is not some newbie at this and only will answer the way he wants. Just warning you.

The Washington Redskins needed a change defensively because, after five years under Jim Haslett, something just hasn't clicked. It wasn’t all his fault and it’s too simplistic to think that his ouster will bring about the change Washington truly needs. It only leads to more questions. And it should put others on the hot seat.
