--After the Redskins finished 3-13 this season, the St. Louis Rams will receive the second overall pick in the 2014 draft. The Redskins traded their 2014 first round pick so they could move up and draft quarterback Robert Griffin III.

--Why the Redskins finished the season 3-13 and what potential problems still remain with the team even if a new coach is brought in. The Redskins fished the season on an eight game losing streak.

How Redskins quarterback Robert Griffin III will be the key for the Redskins moving --forward and how a potential new coach should handle the young quarterback.
