Rebilas-USA TODAY SportsA few months after Redskins GM Scot McCloughan selected TCU wide receiver Josh Doctson in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, he injured his hand punching a wall.This began what many now view as a tenuous relationship with the Redskins that ultimately led to him being fired by the team after just two years running the show from a player personnel standpoint.In May of 2016, McCloughan was quoted as saying this about his new first round draft pick-¡° He¡¯s very, very talented,¡± and the pick ¡°was a slam dunk.¡±...well, it turned out to be more like a missed lay-up!It was announced yesterday that the Redskins would not be picking up Doctson¡¯s fifth year option, likely making him a free agent in 2020. And really, there is absolutely no surprise here.After missing all but two games as a rookie, Doctson has a total of 79 receptions, 1034 yards, and eight touchdowns over the last two seasons. A pretty decent borderline number one would have put up those type of numbers in just one season. Unfortunately for Doctosn, he¡¯s never really broke out, and after the team drafted Terry McLaurin and Kelvin Harmon last week, the writing was on the wall. Scot McCloughan implied in an interview a couple of weeks ago that Doctson is being misused in the Redskins offense, saying he should be running slants and crossing routes to better maximize his skill-set. This is just a cowardly way of Scot trying to cover for his draft mistake. What Scot SHOULD have done is come out and owned the pick. Just say he missed one here, instead of trying to put lipstick on a pig. We all know Doctson is not physical enough to beat a corner across his face with any consistency to get in a good position on slants. And those crossers - where the receiver is expected to make a catch and gain YAC...yeah, not his thing either. He was drafted because he was an air-ballerina - and he¡¯s failed at that. Let¡¯s just call a spade a spade here!But this isn¡¯t the first draft debacle McCloughan has tried to worm his way out of. In 2016, Matt Jones entered the season as the Redskins starting running back, but lost his starting spot after week seven to Rob Kelley when he fumbled on the goalline in a three point loss to the Detroit Lions. Jones did not get another carry that season. Entering the 2017 offseason, Jones was fifth on the team¡¯s depth chart behind Kelley, Thompson, Perine and Mack Brown. On a twitter Q&A in August of 2017, McCloughan told fans the Florida running back is still one of his proudest draft picks:Just a few weeks later Jones was released by the Redskins...Jones was claimed by the Colts, but was then waived a week later and signed to the team¡¯s practice squad. He was promoted and waived a few times during 2017, and finished the season with five carries for 14 yards. He signed with the Eagles in May of 2018, but was released September first. He is currently out of the NFL. And how about Su¡¯a Cravens?Of Scot McCloughan¡¯s 17 draft picks between 2015-2016, just three remain with the team - Brandon Scherff, Josh Doctson and Matt Ioannidis, and only Ioannidis has been given a contract extension. Unless he has a break-out year in 2019, it¡¯s looking like Josh Doctson will be moving on to greener pastures in 2020. ...and then there were the leaks.Between 2015 and 2016, a lot of information was being pumped out of Redskins Park. Over the last three years, it¡¯s been like Fort Knox.Coincidence? Just ask Dianna Russini!The Redskins seem to have done much better in the past three drafts since McCloughan¡¯s been gone. Fans try to say that the team still used Scot¡¯s draft board in 2017 when they selected Jonathan Allen, Ryan Anderson, Fabian Moreau, Samaje Perine, Montae Nicholson, Jeremy Sprinkle, Chase Roullier Dwayne Haskins Washington Redskins Jersey , Robert Davis, Josh Harvey-Clemons and Joshua Holsey, but the fact is, outside of the staff at Redskins Park, no one knows that. In the past three drafts, the Redskins have placed an emphasis on value vs need picks, and trying to fill holes on the roster by selecting guys who fit their system instead of playing ¡°the smartest guy in the room¡± card - and this approach has seemed to work out very well. Forcing a square peg into a round hole rarely works out, as we saw with some of the draft picks between 2015-2016. Look, everyone misses on draft picks. Even the great Ozzie Newsome had some head-scratchers, but just own them and move on, instead of trying to cover up your mistakes in an attempt to make yourself look better.I believe the Redskins are much better off under the current structure, than when they had just one cook running the kitchen. Sometimes a collaborative approach, even though heads may sometimes butt, yields greater long-term results. Hogs Haven brings back a draft prediction competition for 2019"WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Looks Like Someone Has A Sixpack Of The MondaysDaily SlopRedskins RecapsEDTShareTweetShareShareRedskins Draft: Pick-3 Contest - 2019Patrick Gorski-USA TODAY SportsJust in case you haven¡¯t heard, the draft is scheduled from 25 to 27 April.Two years ago, around this time, I decided to create a different kind of draft-prediction contest, which I called the ¡°Draft Pick 3¡±.I doubled down last season with Redskins Draft Pick-3 2018.It¡¯s backThe Pick-3 achieved a modicum of popularity in ¡®17 & ¡®18, so I thought I¡¯d bring it back for a third run.The rules will be identical.So, how does the Draft P3 work?Today, prior to the draft, the Redskins have 9 selections in the 7-round draft, which is coming soon.Each entrant in Draft Pick 3 is allowed to nominate three players for each draft pick that the Redskins have at the moment.That means that each entrant can identify up to 27 players that they think might be drafted by the Redskins at the end of the month.If any player on your list gets drafted by the Redskins in the 2019 draft, you get points.The player with the most points wins. Simple!Detailed rules:A.Each entrant can identify 3 candidates for each of these nine picks:Round 1 - pick 15Round 2 - pick 46Round 3 - picks 76 & 96Round 5 - picks 153 & 173Round 6 - pick 206Round 7 - picks 227 & 253B.If a player on the entrant¡¯s list is selected in the round predicted by the entrant, the entrant will earn the following points:Round 1 = 6 pointsRound 2 = 8 pointsRound 3 = 10 pointsRound 5 = 16 pointsRound 6 = 20 pointsRound 7 = 25 pointsC. If a player on the entrant¡¯s list is selected in a different round than predicted, the entrant will earn 5 points, regardless of which round the player is drafted in, and regardless of the reason for the difference in round.For clarity, imagine that I¡¯ve predicted tight end Tommy Sweeney for pick #173 (the ¡®Skins¡¯ second pick in the 5th round).Also imagine that the Redskins trade back to pick #177 (in the 6th round) and choose Sweeney with that pick.I will earn 5 points, as Sweeney was taken in a different round than the one I projected. However, if the Redskins trade from pick #173 in the 5th round to #169 in the 5th round and select Tommy Sweeney, then I will still earn the full 16 points for a correct 5th round pick.D. There will be no adjustments made for any trades that happen between the time this article is published and the end of the draft.The contest will be based on projecting the 9 draft picks identified in this article, regardless of any changes in the actual selections the Redskins end up with in the draft.E. An entrant may list any draft-eligible player as many times as desired, up to a maximum of 9.In other words, a player may be listed once for every Redskins draft pick on the list if the entrant so chooses.However, if the player is actually selected by the Redskins, the entrant will get credit only once.The entrant will get maximum points if one of his predictions is for the correct round; if not, he will receive 5 points for identifying the player Cheap Dwayne Haskins Jersey , but not the correct round.There is no opportunity to double (or triple, or octuple) dip by scoring off the same selection multiple times.I feel it¡¯s only fair to note that there is no advantage to listing a player for two picks in the same round (3rd, 5th, 7th) where the ¡®Skins have two picks; in fact, it will cost you another scoring opportunity.F. To enter the contest, simply post your projections in the comments section below using the template provided.If anyone posts multiple entries, the LAST entry posted by any individual entrant prior to 7:59 ET, 25 April 2019 will be that entrant¡¯s ¡°official¡± entry.No entries will be accepted after 7:59 ET, 25 April 2019.If you want to update your entry, it is best for me if you post your second (or third) version as a reply to your first.Here is an example of what a qualifying entry (posted in the comments section) would look like:Round 1 - pick 15Drew Lock QB, DK Metcalf WR, Brian Burns EDGERound 2 - pick 46Bobby Evans OL, Mack Wilson ILB, Daniel Jones QBRound 3 - pick 76Conner McGovern OL, Martez Ivey OL, Tyree Jackson QBRound 3 - pick 96Ross Pierschbacher OL, Julian Love CB, Darnell Savage Jr. SRound 5 - pick 153Sheldrick Redwine S, Darius Slayton WR, Will Grier QBRound 5 - pick 173Gardner Minshew QB, William Sweet OL, Derrick Baity CBRound 6 - pick 206Michael Dogbe DL, Jah¡¯Shawn Johnson S,Isaac Nauta TERound 7 - pick 227Jamal Davis II OLB, Dawson Knox TE,Jackson Barton OTRound 7 - pick 253Anthony Ratliff-Williams WR, Ryan Connelly OLB, Christian Miller EDGEHere¡¯s the template for your entry.Just copy it, paste it into the comments space, then type in the 27 names that make up your entry.Round 1 - pick 15.Round 2 - pick 46.Round 3 - pick 76.Round 3 - pick 96.Round 5 - pick 153.Round 5 - pick 173.Round 6 - pick 206.Round 7 - pick 227.Round 7 - pick 253.G. In case of a tie, the entrant who has received the highest number of points for a single correct projection will be declared the winner.(For clarity, an entrant who earned 20 points for a correct 6th round projection would be declared the winner if no other entrant earned full points beyond round 5).If any entrants remain tied after applying the tie-breaker, then Bill-in-Bangkok will determine the declared winner.THE PRIZEAny contest is only as good as the value of the prize for winning, so here¡¯s the deal; the winner will be entitled to the same ¡®great¡¯ prize as the last two years. Once you¡¯ve been named the winner, make an appointment with me, show up in Bangkok, and I¡¯ll buy drinks for the two of us all night long at the bar or pub of your choice.Previous Winners2018 Marooook!2017 SkinsaneAsylum
