For the last four Redskins’ drafts, Doug Williams was involved, he had input and he took part in the decision process — but they weren’t his.
He knows this year, at least perception-wise, it’s going to be a little different.
Williams, after all, was promoted to “senior vice president of player personnel” in June 2017. The position is the closest thing the franchise has to a general manager.
“The community, the media and everybody else puts blame on somebody, so I guess it comes with the opportunity to put whatever blame — whatever congratulatory, whatever it is,” Williams said of his new role.
