Ugh, I like the Dwayne Haskins pick. The Redskins snagged who they hope will be their future franchise quarterback with the fifteenth overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Haskins has a good height, a decent arm and impressive atheleticism to build on and become a quality NFL starter. However, the former-Ohio State player is currently not deemed to be of sufficient quality to start for the Redskins come this weekend against the Eagles in Philadelphia. Instead, Washington have opted for veteran Case Keenum. I’m not keen on the ex-Bronco signal-caller, with one particular image sticking out in my memory. I had the opportunity to watch the LA Rams against the New York Giants in London during the 2016 campaign. I was so excited to see Odell Beckham Jr, but I was also keen to check out the number one overall pick in the recent draft, Jared Goff. Goff didn’t actually play, with Keenum stepping in. He was awful, and threw four interceptions against the Giants - prompting my dad to label Keenum ‘clueless’. Yes, Keenum had a good season in 2017 with the Minnesota Vikings, but he was still dropped for Kirk Cousins. In 2018, Keenum moved to the Broncos and had an underwhelming campaign as he racked up 3,890 yards and threw for 18 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Those numbers are not exactly quality, and Denver quickly replaced Keenum with Flacco, which says it all really. With Keenum at the helm, I’m not keen on the Redskins.

Head Coach: Jay Gruden

Gruden has been head coach of the Washington Redskins since 2014. Prior to the role, he served as offensive coordinator for the Cincinnati Bengals and was an offensive assistant to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he won Super Bowl 37. Gruden really made his name in the Arena Football League, winning it four times as a player and a further two times as coach. Entering his sixth season with the Redskins, Gruden may need his investment in Haskins to pay dividends sooner rather than later, as he is yet to truly bring any success to the Redskins - he won the NFC East in 2015, only to lose to the Packers in the Wild Card round.

Offensive Player to Watch: Derrius Guice
