NFL Draft Washington Redskin's Owner has taken over the 1st rd of their draft

Dan Snyder has reportedly 'taken over' Washington's first-round draft plans
Originally posted on Pro Football Rumors | By Rory Parks | Last updated 4/24/19

There has been plenty of chatter suggesting that the Redskins want to trade up from their No. 15 overall pick in order to better position themselves to (presumably) nab one of this year’s top collegiate passers. Earlier Wednesday, we heard yet again that Washington is contemplating a move into the top five, and while there was no definitive report as to the club’s hypothetical trade partner, the Jets — who hold the No. 3 overall pick — are allegedly determined to trade down.

Adding more fuel to that fire are several tweets suggesting that Redskins owner Dan Snyder is perhaps even more involved than usual in his club’s first-round selection. Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan hears from a team source that Snyder has “taken over the first round of the draft,” and the last time that happened, Washington surrendered a king’s ransom of draft picks to acquire the No. 2 overall selection in the 2012 draft, which it used on Robert Griffin III.

Mike Garafolo of the NFL Network has a similar report, and he indicates that Snyder “absolutely” has influence on the Redskins’ draft, while team president Bruce Allen also has an important role. On the other hand, senior VP of player personnel Doug Williams has limited input on the team’s picks, and head coach Jay Gruden has even less.

That in and of itself doesn’t mean much, but when put in the context of the RGIII trade, it could serve as a harbinger of things to come Thursday night. (Plus, Garafolo’s report obviously doesn’t offer an optimistic view on Gruden’s long-term future with the club, which is an interesting sidenote.)

For what it’s worth, Paulsen says that Redskins spokesman Tony Wyllie categorically denied the notion that Snyder has taken control of the team’s first-round pick, but it’s his job to quash these kinds of rumors, regardless of their veracity. And regardless of Snyder’s influence on the draft, the Redskins are one of the most intriguing teams to keep an eye over the next 24 hours or so.

Oh Dan Snyder, you fantastically awful NFL owner, you. Thank you for bringing so much enjoyment to non-Redskin fans over the years.

Please God, don't take Lock. I'd like him to have some chance at NFL success.

**Rain Man** · 04-24-2019, 04:14 PM

I love having Dan Snyder as the owner of a competing team. I wish he'd sell the Redskins and buy the Broncos.

Yeah, good point

Daniel Jones is what I read earlier.

He could rename them the Denver Sarah Jessica Parkers and piss off the Feminazi's with his new club.

You’d think the RG3 debacle would have taught him a lesson

**notorious** · 04-24-2019, 04:37 PM

Gruden is going to put a hit out on Snyder.

pugsnotdrugs19 · 04-24-2019, 04:41 PM

Haskins is a major possibility

I would be stunned if he made it past Denver.

I'm torn on this. On the one hand, I think an owner should have the right to do whatever the **** he wants, since--well--he's the owner. On the other hand, if he's a moron, I can also see why no one would want to work under those conditions. In a smaller scale this also applies to the GM/coach relationship; as a Patriots fan, I remember one of the reasons Parcells jumped ship to the Jets was because of his lack of control of personnel (he famously said, basically, "If they want you to cook the dinner you should be allowed to buy the groceries"). It's hard for an employee (the coach) to tell his employer (the guy who pays your salary AND owns the company), "Hey, you're a ****ing moron, mind your own business."
