There are two sides to every coin and an upside and a downside to every draft. Here’s my look at the pluses and minuses of the Redskins’ draft and some discussion of what they may have done better.

The pros and cons of the Redskins’ draft
Draft chat resumes at 10:00
This is where Allen and Shanahan will have to do their best work, in rounds 4-7 today. The Redskins have three picks as of now but they still are trying to get Jason Campbell a new team. Will they be able to pull it off? Come by and talk about it.

Feeling the draft
The Redskins have the fewest picks of any NFL team in today’s draft. That doesn’t make what is going to unfold over the next few days any less intriguing. I take a few stabs at how things might unfold between tonight and Saturday.

The pros and cons of Jimmy Clausen
Point: He’s cocky and immature—Even if Clausen could throw a ball through a brick wall, he would be a suspect pick since he is too cocky and too temperamental to lead an NFL team. Any kid who shows up to make an oral commitment to college in a stretch Hummer limo [...]
My talk with Bruce Allen
I had a telephone interview with Bruce Allen in advance of the combine. He didn’t have a whole lot of time but I still got some good insight into what the Redskins are up to.
The transcript of the conversation is after the jump. My article based on it is here:
