Washington’s 2023 draft was about scheme fit

For every comment and criticism that can be offered about Washington’s 2023 draft, one thing that must first be said is, we’ve come a long way from these days:

“I don’t do the scheme thing. When we look at players we look at talent. It’s up to the defensive coordinator and the defensive back coaches to scheme him up. We’re not in the room with the scheme. I don’t know exactly what the scheme is.”

“For us, talking from the personnel standpoint, our job is not schematic. We don’t look at a quarterback and say ‘he can play in this scheme or that scheme,’ we basically judge from talent, what we see, what a guy can do.
