Redskins' need to win now could conflict with desire to find next QB

PHOENIX -- The Washington Redskins need to find their quarterback of the future. Coach Jay Gruden most likely needs to win now. Those two sentences could lead to conflicting desires when it comes to the NFL draft next month. That is, if the Redskins view the situation the same way.

With Alex Smith's future still uncertain and with no healthy quarterback signed beyond this season, the Redskins need to find a young quarterback. With the 15th pick in the draft, they're likely in position to land one of the top four in the draft.
