The Washington Redskins are serious about drafting Marcus Mariota — which epitomizes the utter disaster that team is.
Marcus Mariota was once considered the No. 1 overall pick in the NFL Draft this year, but things have changed since his defeat in the National Championship Game which seemed to make him a mere mortal. Jameis Winston is the consensus No. 1 pick, Mariota’s stick is slipping and that’s good news for one NFC team with major quarterback issues.

The Washington Redskins are sitting at No. 5 overall, and if Mariota slips to that slot — which he’s fully expected to so — he very well could be headed to the Nation’s Capital.
According to John Clayton from ESPN, the Washington Redskins will not hesitate to draft Marcus Mariota at No. 5 overall if he is available.
"“Honestly, [people say Mariota] may fall to the Jets; he’s not gonna fall to the Jets at six, I’ll tell you this right now,” Clayton said. “The Redskins will take him at [No.] five. Dan Snyder may not think there’s quarterback issues; Jay Gruden and everybody else in the front office thinks there’s quarterback issues. And if Marcus Mariota falls to five – now it’s not a position where they’re desperate enough to trade up to get him – but if he falls to 5, I’m telling you this right now, they’ll take him.”"
This is both fascinating and hilarious at the same time. The Redskins are a complete and total mess and that starts with their racist name and goes all the way down their terrible quarterback situation.
Robert Griffin III is a mess and his broken relationship with his head coach and teammates highlights the dysfunction in the organization. It all really starts with the head of the snake — Daniel Snyder — who is one of the most hilarious human beings to watch run a franchise.
He’s like that SNL sketch where Beck Bennett plays an adult with the motor skills of a baby. That’s how the Redskins are run, and that’s why they need to draft Mariota. Sometimes you just want to watch the world burn — and Daniel Snyder is holding the empty gasoline tank in one hand and is shoving paste into his mouth with the other.
