Kevin opens up talking about the delirious reaction the Redskins’ draft and the sudden sentiment that the benefit of the doubt should be given to Dan Snyder and Bruce Allen. He weighs in on the Dwayne Haskins/Joe Theismann #7 jersey debate. JP Finlay/NBC Sports Washington was a guest on the show with his far-too-early 53-man roster projection. Kevin finished up the show with some NBA Playoffs, Nats-Cards, and the Houston Rockets memo to the league about having last year’s NBA Championship stolen from them.

A few quick Skins’ draft predictions an hour before the draft starts.

  1. They will pick at 15 tonight.  No trades up; no trades down.
  2. They will pick a quarterback at 15 if Haskins, Jones, and/or Lock are available.
  3. If they select Haskins, it’s Dan Snyder’s pick more than anybody else’s in the organization.
  4. If all the QBs are gone, they’ll take one of the following based on availability—Jonah Williams, Cody Ford, Chris Lindstrom, Marquise Brown, Montez Sweat.
  5. They will add a safety and WR in the first three rounds of the draft.
  6. If either of the following four safeties are available tomorrow night, they’ll take one of them— Darnell Savage Jr, Jonathan Abram, Juan Thornhill, Deionte Thompson.  **They may have to trade up to get the guy they want**
  7. If they don’t draft a QB in the first round, they won’t draft one before Saturday.
  8. They’ll draft an edge pass rusher before round 4.  Two names to watch–Ben Banogu/TCU and Jachai Polite/Florida.
  9. They’ll draft a 3rd-down pass catching RB before round 6.  Too much lost injury time with Chris Thompson.
