Rumors and News

Snyder Reportedly In Control Of Redskins Pick 

The Washington Redskins dominated the draft buzz Wednesday because of an interesting wrinkle to the team's strategy. 

According to Grant Paulsen of 106.7 The Fan, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder has taken over the first round of the draft. 

Fox Sports' Peter Schrager shed some light on Washington's potential targets, as he mentioned Dwayne Haskins as the likely pick, while Daniel Jones has some admirers within the team facility. 

While Snyder may favor a quarterback, the coaching staff and front office aren't sold on the position, per ESPN's Dianna Russini, who said it is clear many people in the organization do not want to take a quarterback in the first round. 

The Redskins aren't in dire straits at quarterback with Case Keenum and Colt McCoy on the roster, but there could be a better option available in the first round. 

You could counter that argument by saying the Redskins could add an offensive weapon, like wide receiver D.K. Metcalf or tight end Noah Fant, to help whichever quarterback takes the reins at the start of the 2019 regular season.

As it sometimes does during the draft, logic may be thrown out the window if Snyder is indeed in charge. 

That could lead to the Redskins going after a quarterback, and even mortgaging some assets to move up if they feel that is the necessary action to get their guy. 

Dolphins Interested In Taking QB 

One of the teams Washington may have to jump to pick the top quarterback on its draft board is Miami. 

The Dolphins, who are set to pick two selections ahead of the Redskins, have interest in drafting a quarterback, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero

"My understanding, speaking with league and team sources, that the Dolphins do have interest in taking a quarterback at No. 13," Pelissero said in a segment on NFL Network. "The two guys they have done the most work on in this draft class are Dwayne Haskins and Daniel Jones." 

There is a chance the Dolphins could have both quarterbacks available at No. 13, but that is dependent on what a few quarterback-needy teams do with their first-round selections. 

The New York Giants at No. 6, Denver at No. 10 and Cincinnati at No. 11 are the three likeliest teams to select a signal-caller ahead of Miami.

Some good news came about for the Dolphins Wednesday, as Schrager noted the belief around the league is the Bengals won't be in the quarterback market in the first round. 

Barring a trade or an unexpected pick, that would leave the Dolphins with at least one quarterback prospect to choose from, and possibly one or two more. 

Since Ryan Fitzpatrick is the best quarterback on the Miami roster, it would be wise of the Dolphins to seriously consider a signal-caller at No. 13 for him to develop under first-year head coach Brian Flores and offensive coordinator Chad O'Shea.
