Owner Daniel Snyder may or may not be heavily influencing what the Washington Redskins plan to do for Thursday’s draft, Matthew Paras of the Washington Times reports.
106.7 The Fan’s Grant Paulsen tweeted a team source told him that Snyder has “taken over the first round of the draft” for the Redskins — amid other rumors that the team is exploring a trade into the top five of the draft.
But team spokesman Tony Wyllie told Paulsen that “any person saying Dan Snyder has taken over the team’s first round decision making is ‘categorically false.’”
Snyder, of course, has previously drawn heavy criticism for what some perceive as meddling into the team’s football making decisions. In 2000, for instance, quarterback Brad Johnson complained the team’s decision to bench him for Jeff George came at Snyder’s behest. “I think that decision’s made from up top,” Johnson said.

SNYDER invested in the first pick is definitely the past, hopefully far in the past.
I think he’s ambivalent about his entire staff starting with BRUCE ALLEN.
So he’s backing off this year and letting his staff do the heavy lifting.
If this all turns to crap in three years, the entire staff is toast.
That’s what I think.
I don’t think SNYDER believes they’re smarter than him.
It’s just that he’s tried everything else and failed.
With 2/9 of the draft in the books here’s where we are and where I think they’re going.
015 QB DWAYNE HASKINS
026 EDGE MONTEZ SWEAT
075 IOL ERIK McCOY
096 WR ANDY ISABELLA
153 CB COREY BALLENTINE
173 WR DAMARKUS LODGE
206 OT/G OLI UDOH
227 LB DREW LEWIS
253 TE KEENAN BROWN
QB HASKINS replaces A.SMITH
EG SWEAT replaces P.SMITH
IOL McCOY replaces LAUVAO
WR ISABELLA replaces CROWDER
CB BALLENTINE upgrade over JOHNSON
WR LODGE replaces HARRIS
OT UDOH replaces NSEKHE
LB LEWIS replaces BROWN
TE replaces V.DAVIS
Cutting V.DAVIS and M.FOSTER adds 9.6 million to the cap.
Use the money to sign FS TRE BOSTON 11.6 million.
OL depth chart:
Tackle
LT. WILLIAMS
RM. MOSES
LT back-up E. FLOWERS
RT back-up T. PARRIS
Swing tackle G. CHRISTIAN
Center/Guard
LG/C back-up McCOY
C/G back-up ROULLIER
RG SCHERFF
G/T back-up FLOWERS
Swing T-G back-up UDOH
RG back-up CATALINA
I think they must carry 10 OL, and must pick a high value c/g. Relying solely on FLOWERS is a “big” mistake [pun intended].
