The 5 o’clock club is published several times per week during the season Dwayne Haskins Jersey White , and aims to provide a forum for reader-driven discussion at a time of day when there isn’t much NFL news being published. Feel free to introduce topics that interest you in the comments below.Looking ahead for the RedskinsThe trade deadline is looming — it comes up after the completion of Week 8, on the 29th of October. The Redskins are not traditionally very active at the trade deadline, though they ‘bought’ a player last year, sending a 4th round pick to Green Bay for Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, a move that didn’t work out for Washington. If the Redskins do anything this week in the trade market, it should be to trade players away for draft picks.2019 is a lost season; it’s now all about 2020 and beyond.Roster, coaches, front office, ticket sales all have to be considered.Almost regardless of whether he’s ready or not, at some point following the Vikings game Dwayne Haskins has to be named the starter for the Washington Redskins.Bill Callahan has made it clear that that’s something that might not happen until next season, and I think there’s one decent argument for that: the Redskins will have a whole new offense in 2020, Dwayne has not found it easy to learn Gruden’s offense, and there’s simply no reason to force him to finish learning something that will be irrelevant before New Year’s Eve.That said, with the Redskins offense producing an average of less than 150 passing yards per game and just 6.75 points per game over the past 4 weeks, it’s increasingly difficult to think of any reasons why the coaches shouldn’t just give Dwayne a playbook he’s comfortable with, even if it’s somewhat limited, and send him out to face some NFL defenses.From the team’s standpoint, the results can’t be much worse, and from Dwayne’s standpoint, it should provide some valuable learning experience.I have supported the idea of keeping Haskins (mostly) on the bench so far this season.The team started the year with the same hopes as 31 other teams, and it has always been made clear that Dwayne would need some time to develop.I wasn’t in favor of starting him against the 49ers, with Frisco sporting the number 2 scoring defense in the league and a fearsome pass rush.Once I’d seen the field conditions in Sunday’s mud bowl, I didn’t want to send him on the field to “add a spark” in some of the worst playing conditions imaginable.Certainly, there’s no strong argument for giving him his first start on the road in Minnesota, on a short week, playing in prime time on Thursday Night Football.But after this game, I think a window throws itself wide open.When everyone wakes up on Friday morning, I think we should be thinking that the Dwayne Haskins era in DC is coming soon.Following the Vikings game, the Skins are on the road in Buffalo after 10 days’ rest, then they get a bye week.In other words, after the team gets through Thursday’s game against the Vikings, Washington will play only one game in a stretch of 23 days. When that stretch finishes, the Week 11 game is at home against the New York Jets and their 2nd year quarterback, Sam Darnold.Some people are looking at the Buffalo game as the natural place to give Haskins his first NFL start.I disagree.Throughout the off-season, predictions about Dwayne Haskins tended to circle two games on the calendar — the Giants in Week 6 and the Jets in Week 11 — as providing the two most natural spots for the rookie quarterback to get his first NFL start.Photo by Michael Reaves/Getty ImagesI’m prepared to plant my flag in the ground here, saying that the Jets game will be Haskins’ first career start, and that — barring injury — he will be the Redskins starting quarterback for the balance of the 2019 season.Buffalo?Yeah, that’s possible.But by waiting one more game, Haskins actually gets the benefit of a bye week to study.Of course, he and the coaches are supposed to have that week off, but I imagine that the team can find a way to have QB coach Tim Rattay devote the week to stuffing Dwayne’s head with a game plan for the Jets.Obviously, the bye week doesn’t give the team an extra week of practice — all the players are “on their own” for the week, not showing up for practice — but it should give Haskins seven valuable days to devote himself to preparing for his first NFL start.Another benefit is that, while the Buffalo game is on the road, the game against the Jets is at FedEx Field.We all know that the stadium hasn’t provided much of a home-field advantage, but Buffalo is an unfriendly place to play.Haskins doesn’t have to see his first starting action in front of the Bills Mafia, and he probably shouldn’t.Instead, Haskins can get his first start in front of his home crowd.And, while FedEx Field hasn’t provided any kind of home field advantage for a while now, if the Redskins announce after the Bills game that Dwayne Haskins will make his first start in the next game against the Jets, that will give Redskins fans two weeks to not sell their tickets to opposing fans, and to make arrangements to attend the game to see the rookie play.It’s also the home game that’s least likely to be invaded by opposing fans; Jets fans have been beaten down by decades of incompetence much like Redskins fans have.Dwayne might actually play in front of a FedEx crowd that is cheering for him instead of against him.Finally, the quality of the opponent comes into consideration — especially as regards the defense that the rookie will face.The Redskins’ schedule has been packed with highly ranked defenses in 2019:No. 1 San FranciscoNo. 2 New EnglandNo. 5 DallasNo. 6 MinnesotaNo. 10 ChicagoBuffalo belongs in that group, being ranked 3rd in the NFL in yards and points given up per game.The New York Jets are ranked 20th overall, and 24th in pass defense.In short, by waiting one game longer to give Dwayne Haskins his first start against the Jets instead of the Bills, he gets more time to prepare, makes his first start at home, should have more crowd support Wes Martin Jersey , and has the advantage of avoiding a top-3 defense; instead, facing a defense that is in the bottom half of the league.Given the way the Jets played against the Patriots on Monday night this week, this may also be the best chance for the team to pick up another win this season, which would be a nice bonus for Haskins’ first start.The team should give Dwayne Haskins a chance to play, but also give him the best chance for success when he does. Clearly, a road start in Minnesota is not ideal. I think the extra time and the chance to open his starting career on his home field make the Jets game a better opportunity than the Bills game.#FireBruceAllen#SnyderHasToGo The initial flurry is slowing down and it’s time to go bargain shopping.This is the time when front offices can plug holes more cheaply and create flexibility ahead of the draft."WhiteFanposts Fanshots Sections Looks Like Someone Has A Sixpack Of The MondaysDaily SlopRedskins RecapsEDTShareTweetShareShareBest free agents still available: 15 March 2019Jake Roth-USA TODAY SportsI heard Andrew Sciciliano officially declare Free Agency Frenzy ‘closed’ when I turned on NFL Network today.I looked to SBNation for some guidance on who the best remaining players are at every position.Here are the SBNation lists (each one is in alphabetical order) along with a few of my thoughts on what the Redskins fans and front office should think about the list.QuarterbackBlake Bortles, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Colin Kaepernick, AJ McCarronI’ll let you guys argue the merits of Colin Kaepernick in the comments section.Whether he belongs in the NFL or not, I know that Dan Snyder would never sign off on that transaction.Bortles has spent five years showing that he’s inconsistent and turnover-prone.Basically, the antithesis of Alex Smith.Prior to the acquisition of Case Keenum I was promoting the idea of Fitzmagic as a safety play at QB ahead of the draft, but that time is past.There’s only one potential move here for the Redskins — A.J. McCarron.He was in Cincinnati for 4 years and spent last season with Jon Gruden and the Raiders.Jay Gruden should be able to get all the inside information on McCarron.If the Redskins aren’t going to use a draft pick on quarterback, grabbing a free agent who was just cut (conserving those compensatory picks) might be a great opportunity.If we use 2out of 4 top draft picks on defense (OLB, S), then the Redskins might be able to get through 2019 with Keenum, McCoy and McCarron.Running backJay Ajayi, C.J. Anderson, Marshawn Lynch, Isaiah Crowell, T.J. YeldonHaving just re-signed Adrian Peterson, the Redskins seem to be all set on veteran running backs, and seem to have a full house: Derrius Guice, Adrian Peterson, Chris Thompson, Samaje Perine, is an upgrade from what the Redskins have in Jordan Reed and Vernon Davis.If the Redskins are going to improve this position group, it needs to happen in the draft, which would allow them to get younger and cheaper at tight end.Offensive LineMatt Kalil, Kendall Lamm, John Miller, Jeremy Parnell, Ryan SchraederThe Redskins need depth on the offensive line, but they have one glaring hole: Left Guard.In researching the free agent market over the past several weeks, I didn’t see anyone interior lineman that really caught my interest.When the Rams didn’t trigger John Sullivan’s option, it caught my attention.He has played with the Redskins before and started for the NFC Champion Rams throughout the regular season and playoffs in 2018.When T.J. Lang was released by the Lions, I perked up, seeing him as possible depth.I have seen at least one article that indicates that Lang may simply retire.Of course, Ari Kuandjio could always be re-signed by Washington.So, there are a number of good options for getting an interior line depth player from free agency, but I think 2019 is the year the Redskins finally need to use a draft pick (I’m thinking probably one of the 3rd rounders) to find their starting left guard.Edge RusherEzekiel Ansah, Shaq Barrett, Justin Houston, Clay Matthews, Shane RayThe Redskins need to field a great defense this season.To do that, they need to replace the position that was vacated by Preston Smith.The Redskins need speed.I wouldn’t object to any of the four guys I see listed above being added to the Redskins team, but Ryan Kerrigan will be 31 before the start of the regular season.The team needs a young pass rusher.I see this position as the best bet for the Redskins first round pick (15th overall), and I’d be surprised if the front office tried to use free agency to find Ryan Kerrigan’s bookend for the ‘19 season.Defensive TackleTimmy Jernigan, Corey Liuget, Darius Philon, Ndamukong Suh, Muhammad WilkersonI would never say the team couldn’t get better, but when you take salary cap into account, I can’t see any reason to try to change what the Redskins currently have - which is one of the best defensive line units in the NFL.Jonathan Allen, Daron Payne, Matt Ioannidis, Tim Settle, Caleb Brantley looks good enough to me that I don’t feel like the Redskins need to invest more cap dollars or draft picks into the group this off-season.LinebackerMark Barron, Jamie Collins, Gerald Hodges Womens Bryce Love Jersey , Brandon MarshallIt was widely reported that the Redskins were pursuing C.J. Mosely in the “legal tampering” period of free agency, so the front office clearly wants to enhance this unit.The team lost speed when Zach Brown was released.Reuben Foster is currently on the Commissioner’s Exempt List.Shaun Dion Hamilton didn’t prove that he was ready to start in the NFL with his 2018 performance, and he has a troubling injury history from Alabama.Josh Harvey-Clemons showed some promise, but he is also not an every down player who can be the difference maker for the Redskins.Zach Vigil is a good special teams player and competent backup.I know a lot of Hogs Haven readers want to see the release of Mason Foster.I don’t see it happening unless he gets beaten out completely in training camp.He is the only player on the unit with starting potential that has completed his rookie contract.The ‘Skins look competent at ILB, but they don’t look strong, and they have question marks.In an ideal world, I’d love to see them drafting a difference maker, but with the needs for LG, WR, S and edge rusher, I can’t see them drafting a LB before the 5th round.A chunk of the available cap space may need to go for a free agent linebacker to come in and provide a bit of stability.Mark Barron is 29 and formerly of the Crimson Tide.Jamie Collins is 29 and a former New England Patriot.Gerald Hodges is 28 and a former 4th round pick of the Vikings.He played on one of the worst defenses in the NFL with the Cardinals last year.Brandon Marshall is 29, a former 5th round draft pick of the Jaguars, who has put together a good career in Denver.Frankly, I just don’t see the answer to the Redskins needs here.I am thinking that the best choice for the Redskins is to stay in a holding pattern at ILB until the draft.If a great linebacker falls to them, go ahead and draft him.If they don’t get a game-changing linebacker in the draft, then I’d suggest picking up a veteran free agent in the “leftovers” market in May or June, and bringing him to camp to provide a little stability while the front office waits for the Reuben Foster situation to resolve itself.CornerbackRonald Darby, Darqueze DennardThe Redskins depth chart doesn’t look too bad:Josh Norman, Quinton Dunbar, Fabian Moreau, Adonis Alexander, Greg Stroman, Josh Holsey.But in 2018, the lack of depth and experience was exposed when Dunbar struggled with nerve damage that cost him most of the season.His ability to play in 2019 is an open question.Of course, Moreau, Alexander, Stromand and Holsey will all have another year of NFL experience; one of them might ‘make the leap’ this season.Still, it is a young, thin group that would benefit with the addition of a talented veteran free agent.Ronald Darby is a really good player that we all know from the Eagles.The question mark for him this off-season has been his health.I imagine that, if he doesn’t get signed by another team ahead of the draft, the Eagles will agree to some sort of contract with him.When I reviewed free agent cornerback options a couple of weeks ago, this is what I said about Dennard:Another few days on the free agent market may be enough for Dennard to get nervous and sign a one-year ‘prove it’ deal on a low dollar contract, or to simply accept a 3-year structured offer that has the opportunity for big dollars in the latter years if he performs well.If the Redskins can get Dennard, who is a former Bengal, on favorable terms, I would see him as a good veteran addition to the team.Otherwise, I’d suggest that the Redskins continue to do what they’ve been doing, and invest a Saturday draft pick in another young player and try to keep the group stocked with young developing players with potential.SafetyEric Berry, Tre Boston, Johnathan Cyprien, Glover QuinObviously, the Redskins made a splash move by signing 25-year-old Landon Collins to a 6-year. $84m contract.The problem is, it only solved half the problem.The Redskins still need another safety.Montae Nicholson had looked like a good draft pick and player right up until the point where he was caught on video punching out a civilian in a parking lot.Now he’s on the Commissioner’s Exempt List and is likely to face suspension.Even before this, however, Nicholson had lost his starting job to HaHa Clinton-Dix when the Redskins traded a 4th round pick to the Packers at the trade deadline last season.With the D.J. Swearinger soap opera ending with his late-season release, the Swearinger-Nicholson duo that looked so promising at the start of last season now looks like the punch line to a bad joke.Clinton-Dix, if you hadn’t heard, has signed with the Bears.In the 2018 off-season, I loved Tre Boston and wanted the Redskins to sign him.I still love Tre Boston, though the fact that he was waived by Carolina, has played just a year for both the Chargers and the Cardinals, and now seems to have a slow market for his services again may be an indication that there’s something wrong with him.Eric Berry simply hasn’t been healthy and doesn’t look like a good option for the Redskins for that reason.We need a player who is reliable. hold in the draft will need to be used on a safety.I think the Redskins will find themselves one or two draft picks short of being able to plug the holes in the starting lineup this season.I’ve suggested above that they can get by with the current crew of TEs and ILBs, but, having missed out on the chance to re-sign HHCD, if they can find a partner for Landon Collins in free agency, it might be worth the investment to free up a draft pick that can be used elsewhere on offense or defense.
