“Every year that I was there, we had a pretty good draft class, with a couple exceptions,” former coach Jay Gruden said. “[Smith] was really good about listening to the coaches because the coaches also did evaluations. … When it came our time to pick, we’d always talk about the picks, where we’d like to go, what happens if [the player] is gone, and did all our scenarios. And then [owner Daniel Snyder] would come in off his yacht and make the pick.”
Kyle Smith has moved on to the Atlanta Falcons and Gruden is now with the Jacksonville Jaguars. Unfortunately for Washington, Snyder is still the owner. I wonder if he will still have the same yacht and draft strategy this year.
As a Cowboys fan, I hope so.
