ANALYSIS/OPINION:

Training camp starts in five weeks for Washington, but we can’t help looking ahead. Speculating isn’t just fun, it’s also a terrific way to kill time and feed the media beast. Insatiable NFL fans would die of hunger without the year-round buffet of opinion, conjecture and guesswork.

The main course in D.C. is rookie Dwayne Haskins, whose position in the draft and on the field make him the subject of national attention. The clock for first-round quarterbacks starts ticking the moment they shake hands with commissioner Roger Goodell, commencing a start-or-sit debate that can continue through the entire regular season.
