Insiders knock Redskins' offseason - Washington Redskins Blog - ESPN
gave us a C and gave the usual cop out about Rg3

Some valid points and some reaches in the article. Kind of hard to judge the likes of Murphy, Moses & Long until they accrue some time in service. Saying Murphy is a reach by Riddick is simply a matter of opinion. His frame alone will allow him to add mass and muscle to win the 1 on 1 NFL battles he mentions. Moses by year 2 could possibly be a 10 year starter for us and the value (3rd round) was a steal imo. Again, just an opinion of one and not all.
The holes they mention on defense are very valid as we did nothing to really improve unless you call Clark & re-signing Merriweather an improvement, I don't. Re-signing Riley was necessary all though he has not shown star potential going into year 5. We literally signed 3 backups to compete with Robinson at the other spot and the only real addition was Hatcher. An over 30 year old player on the downside of his career. Top that off with retaining Haslett (Not a fan) and the real culprit for our "C" grade this off season. The book remains out on Gruden and what he brings but his quick departures from the Bengals playoffs doesn't bode well for us
We need another solid off season next year to include FA and a draft that nets us a much needed 1st rounder and maybe, just maybe we can land a "B" next off season.
HTTR!!!
we dont need riley to be a "star " . he seems to be heading to being an above avg ilb
he is actually one of the few mid round choices we have developed properly . helu would be another
Have we really developed Riley Dad? Or, is he the circumstance of fortune because we switched to a 3-4 and he just happen stance walked into the starting lineup? One thing is for sure, he did not take over the leadership duties from Fletcher and as bad as Fletcher was last year, Riley didn't stand out. We shall see what kind of step Riley takes this year without Fletcher.
keeping haslett was our biggest mistake.
we have the best team in the division on paper. If we play like to it should be another division championship.
