McCloughan Not-So-Midas TouchMark J. 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

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,

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,
