Redskins Are Back on the Clock

Can we concentrate on what we need today?

Update #2: the Redskins made a second day two trade, with the Rams, former Redskins offensive coordinator Al Saunders' new team. Washington sent their fifth round number 157 which was acquired from Tennessee and their seventh round number 228 to St. Louis for the Rams' sixth round number 168 and sixth round number 180, details in Courier font.

Update: the Redskins pulled the trigger on another trade, this one with the Titans, details in Verdana font. The Redskins sent their fifth round pick, number 103 overall to Tennessee for the Titans' fourth round number 124 and the Titans' fifth round number 157.

Draft day two is underway and Curly R will be covering it for the Redskins, it started at 10am ET and runs through 7pm ET, there is a lot of football news being made today.

ESPN's Mel Kiper who for some reason still has the same hair he did 20 years ago rates the Redskins draft through two rounds an A and ESPN's fan poll says Redskinsland also rates them an A so far. I'd give them a C at best, although these three picks so far will not be first round money the team is going to find itself with six expensive receiving players and only but so many passes to go around. But I digress...for now.
