Great way to look at the draft. Best in years overall.

I wouldn't have complained if the FO had selected O-line with every pick simply to find keepers.

Every selection they made made sense . . . Been a decade, maybe more, since we've been ableto say that!

Now . . . Maybe a few diamonds in ...

Is this a joke?

Every NFL insider is hot on the story and you get the scoop? And talk Redskins with Mikey Slick for four hours?

Do tell . . . What's his plan - or did he just listen to you and takes notes the entire time?

As for Gray - maybe he thought it was a practice interview for the Memphis job? And Danny pulled a fast one on him. Anyone think Danny isn't capable?

No way is he a legit candidate. Allen being hired is a sign that a big name is on the way. Sound like Mikey Slick.

He's playing d-end on important snaps. His getting experience as a LB will help him down the road.

For example, what if the new staff next yar runs a 3-4? He'll end up playing LB again.

Snyder - his name has become a curse word in my vocab.

I've been a Skins fan since birth. Cried when they lost Superbowl Seven and I was Seven years old. Found guidance as a troubled teen through class act Joe Gibbs and the blue collar attitude. And have stayed connected to 'home' by staying ...
