When Donte Stallworth signed with New England last offseason, Redskins coach Mike Shanahan told him he’d made a mistake. Shanahan was smiling when he said that today. But Shanahan admitted he did not want to lose Stallworth a year ago.

Redskins defensive coordinator Jim Haslett spoke to the media Wednesday for the first time this offseason. The main topic: the three rookie defensive backs and what to expect at safety. Here are some highlights:

…The Redskins signed receiver Donte Stallworth, as expected after a good two-day showing by the veteran wideout. The question is, can Stallworth make the final roster? It depends on how many receivers they keep, but the first four appear set: Pierre Garcon, Josh Morgan, Leonard Hankerson and Santana Moss. Aldrick Robinson’s speed, and the couple big plays he made last season, make him the leader at the fifth receiver spot. But Stallworth would provide insurance if one of the starters got hurt. The only drawback is that he does not play special teams. So it could be that, even if he makes the roster, he’d be inactive until a health issue arises.

The Wizards found out last week they will have the eighth-best odds (3.5 percent) to win next month's draft lottery after losing a tiebreaker with the Detroit Pistons. While they could leapfrog to the first, second or third pick, in an unlikely scenario they could fall as far as 11th.

Gio Gonzalez threw strikes on Thursday night – 78 to be exact, on 112 pitches — keying his one-hit work over eight dominant innings in the Nats’ 8-1 victory over the Reds. Gonzalez (2-1), the Nats’ starter most susceptible to wildness, had walked 11 in 20 innings, lasting no more than six innings in any of his previous four starts. But with the lead from the third inning on, Gonzalez was able to attack.

Maybe it is actually a good thing that for once the Nationals left their scouting department bored stiff on Thursday night. With the best record in baseball last season and a prominent free-agent signing over the winter in closer Rafael Soriano, Washington didn’t have a selection in Major League Baseball’s 2013 draft until No. 68.
