Early signs suggest that young quarterbacks might have already stoked the Redskins's curiosity. According to people within the Redskins organization, owner Daniel Snyder and Vinny Cerrato, the team's executive vice president of football operations, recently attended a University of Texas game to scout quarterback Colt McCoy. Cerrato traveled to conduct an in-person evaluation of Notre Dame quarterback Jimmy Clausen, a junior who declared for the draft this week.
The belief among some at Redskins Park is that Snyder and Cerrato plan to use the team's first-round draft pick next spring to continue their quest for the Redskins' next franchise quarterback, which could signal the end of Jason Campbell's tenure with the team and also leave a big question mark in the backfield.
