Keim confirmed on the radio this AM that his source said they likely would have picked K Johnson if he was there with their original 2nd round pick.
But who was his source? And what was the reason?

I wonder if the Skins knew Settle was going to be there, would they have drafted James?
Also, the Skins were not in love with Guice. 980 reported today they would have taken K. Johnson had he not been drafted right before their pick. If they REALLY loved Guice, no way they trade back and risk losing him. It worked out though.
Reporters generally don't give away their sources, and he didn't. Presumably everyone down-graded Guice some because there were numerous questions about his maturity - whether he got into a fight with another prospect, his supposed accusing teams of asking questions if his mother was a prostitute and if he was gay - and then saying he didn't really mean it, and he appears to be a bit hyperactive. I'm not a doctor, but I play one on the internet - I'm guessing he has ADD or something like it.But who was his source? And what was the reason?

Keim's been covering the Skins for a long time, and he's probably the most respected reporter doing so, so when he says it's from his source, it's someone who probably knows what he's talking about. Keim's reputation and body of work does mean something, right? And again - nobody said it was completely based on ability, so who's asking you to believe otherwise?I get all of that, but the source could have been the janitor that was emptying the garbage in a moment where one of the guys in the room suggested Johnson over Guice.
I also understand and have read about all the question marks.
If, anybody wants me to believe they wanted Johnson over Guice based on ability, you cannot convince me of that. If, you want me to believe the Redskins were considering Johnson over Guice because of the off field concerns, I can believe that. I can also believe they ended up choosing Guice because they were out of highly rated RBs.
There is a really good article online explaining one option of the questions as a misunderstanding. I will see if I can find it.
