Still, Ballard got a pretty good deal.EDTShareTweetShareShareWashington’s 2020 second rounder is more valuable than people think.Photo by Frederick Breedon/Getty ImagesChris Ballard is one of the best general managers in the NFL, that is well-known by now. However, plenty of fans are disappointed that the Colts traded back out of the first round and only got two 2nd round picks in return (one this year, one next year) from the Washington Redskins.The Colts did well on trading away the #26 pick, as all of the valuable interior defensive lineman were already gone (Tillery was still there, but he is not in the same class as Wilkins, Williams or Oliver), and the other positions the Colts need (CB, WR, Edge) still have plenty of quality players left. In fact, according to the Draft guide, the top 3 cornerbacks are still on the board, and also the top 5 wide receivers.Washington’s 2nd rounder next year also looks to have plenty of value, as the Redskins are not poised for a breakout 2019 season. Their roster is mediocre Indianapolis Colts Hoodie , their schedule is extremely unforgiving, and they will most likely have a rookie starting at quarterback. Washington’s rosterPhoto by Scott Taetsch/Getty ImagesWhile the Redskins’ roster does have some above-average players like Trent Williams, Jordan Reed, or Brandon Scherff, they lack elite talent at the skill positions and their defense is aging and not well put together. Rookie quarterback Dwayne Haskins can’t be expected to succeed when his starting running back is 34 years old, his backup is a rookie coming off an ACL tear, his #1 receiver’s name is Josh Doctson (whose career has been uninspiring to say the least), there is not much depth behind Doctson, and his tight end is unreliable. The only thing Haskins has going for him is the quality of his offensive line, even though they took a step back last year.The Redskin’s defense has some blue-chip-caliber players, but overall, the flaws and weaknesses are evident. Washington’s secondary is depleted. Josh Norman is nowhere close the player he used to be, Landon Collins is average at best defending the pass, DRC is getting older and slower, and there is not much more to write home about after that. Washington’s front 7 looks solid, with players like Da’Ron Payne, Jonathan Allen, Ryan Anderson and now rookie Montez Sweat Khari Willis Jersey , but the level of talent might not be enough to mask the coverage deficiencies. Washington’s scheduleNBC Sports WashingtonMaking assumptions about a team’s schedule on April is not smart, because there are always surprising and under-performing teams, but the Redskins’ schedule looks quite tough right now. Realistically, the Redskins could easily finish the season 5-11 or 6-10, which should be bad enough for a top 12 pick. Their division (aside from the Giants) is very difficult, and they face some tough opponents like the Patriots, Jets, 49ers, and Vikings.Considering the Redskins ended their last season ice-cold (also due to the fact they had Josh Johnson starting at quarterback), it is safe to assume there are plenty of flaws on the team, and so far they have not been fixed in the offseason, aside from Haskins.Rookie quarterbackPhoto by Andy Lyons/Getty ImagesEven though Haskins looks like the most pro-ready quarterback in the entire class, keep in mind this is still a guy that started just 22 games in his entire collegiate career. Haskins has all the qualities to become an elite NFL quarterback, but he is nowhere near that just yet, which is why his first season could be a rocky one. The lack of surrounding talent also does not help and could lead to the Redskins’ offense becoming downright awful.Overall, I do not understand why the Redskins pulled the trigger on the trade. They are in no position to win now, and are a few seasons away from building a truly solid roster, so why trade away valuable draft capital just to get a pass rusher that was not even the best defensive lineman on his own team?

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Titans quarterback Marcus Mariota said he is doing “everything in my power” to be available Sunday night against Indianapolis with a playoff berth on the line.Mariota did not practice Wednesday with what the Titans listed as neck and foot injuries. Mariota declined to detail what symptoms he’s still dealing with after being hurt on a sack late in the first half of Tennessee’s win over Washington last weekend.On his weekly radio appearance earlier Wednesday, Mariota said the hit left his whole right side “numb and tingly.”Mariota also called it unfortunate because nerves take time to recover.The quarterback spent practice receiving treatment, and he told reporters after practice that he is optimistic about playing for at worst the AFC’s second wild-card berth. A loss by Houston (10-5) earlier Sunday would put the AFC South title on the line for the Colts and Titans, both 9-6.“This is for everything, so there’s no timetable,” Mariota said of his recovery. “If I can go, and it’s Sunday at 5 o’clock by all means. We’re just again taking it one day at a time. I’m going to do my best to be available.”The Titans signed Austin Davis on Monday, bringing back a quarterback who was the roster in September when Mariota missed back-to-back starts. Blaine Gabbert stayed on the field after practice getting in some extra work. Gabbert has come off the bench three times season for the Titans and started twice. Gabbert became the first backup quarterback to win when Mariota left a game injured with the Titans losing the first six such games.Gabbert threw the game-winning touchdown with 4:30 left against Washington, and he finished with a 123.7 passer rating. He has thrown for 461 yards with three touchdowns and two interceptions while being sacked five times this season.Titans coach Mike Vrabel said they hope Mariota can practice Thursday and see how the quarterback feels after a day of treatment and rest.“So we’ll see where that goes and try to work him back in,” Vrabel said.Both the Colts and Titans will know exactly what’s at stake when they kick off, and the winner also could play for the No. 2 seed in the AFC if Houston, New England and Baltimore all lose.Mariota has played at less than fully healthy. He started a game against the Colts last season with an injured hamstring and threw for 306 yards to snap an 11-game skid to Indianapolis. He came off the bench Sept. 23 when Gabbert suffered a concussion and led the Titans to a victory when he didn’t throw a pass longer than 22 yards.“I just want to make sure we can have our best option to win,” Mariota said. “I’m going to do everything in my power to be available so that when it’s all said and done if I’m able to be out there I’m giving it my all. All I want is this team to win. However I can do that, however I can help I’m going to find a way to do that.”Notes: LB Brian Orakpo (elbow) also did not practice. He has missed the last two games. WR Tajae Sharpe (ankle) was limited, but LB Sharif Finch (left shoulder) practiced fully after missing one game.
