This has to frustrate the hell of of Redskins fans: Owner Daniel Snyder met with reporters yesterday and praised the direction of the organization, professing his belief that the club has improved significantly this offseason. ... Snyder said that he had not considered altering the front-office structure or hiring a general manager despite last year's 5-11 finish. ... And Joe Gibbs said he hopes to refrain from dealing any 2008 picks after entering this draft without any selections in the second, third or fourth rounds.A couple of things: First, it's hard to take someone seriously when in one breath, they think the club has improved drastically, but in the next breath refuses to admit that Vice President of Football Operations Vinny Cerrato is doing a heckuva job.
Second, it also has to be disconcerting to hear phrases like, "Gibbs said he hopes to refrain from dealing any 2008 picks..." Yeah, that wouldn't be good. Especially since Washington currently doesn't have any picks in the second, third, or fourth rounds of this year's draft.
Ideally, the Redskins would be able to trade out of the No. 6 pick, and it looks like the Dolphins might be a willing partner. The only question is who Washington selects with their first-round pick (and dear Lord, please don't let it be this guy).
