Are we in play for Casey Matthews?

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3
 

How can anybody say we aren't at an A+ right now? I mean seriously, our first round pick has been saying nothing but how absolutely jacked he is to play with Orakpo and to be a Redskin.. Not to mention he's got the pedigree to become [I]great.[/I]

Our second round pick addressed a need. He may not be the highest rated player, but the coaches/management must have absolutely fallen in love with him. Bowers had a fun time getting all those sacks didn't he? Well somebody was causing pressure up the middle.

Our third round pick was probably the biggest steal of the third round. I'm in shock we actually took Hankerson here, it just doesn't seem real. I compare him and Julio Jones and wonder what makes them so different aside from less physicality from Leonard?

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3
 

We have a ton of needs so stockpiling picks is nice and if we hit on starters and decent depth on like 75-80% that's like 7-8 great additions to the team. I'm just hoping that stuff works out so that we can add a true difference maker to start catching up to the eagles and giants in the division.

[quote=skinsfaninok;798865]So far I'd say we are about a B- what do you guys think?[/quote]

We turn the #10 pick into a 3rd, a 4th, and a couple of 5ths. How is that a B-? We gained back the 3 & 4 from the McNabb and Brown trades!! I say we get an A+ for the player we now know as the hyphenated name of "Trade Back"! No, "Trade further Back"!

I go with a Solid B Pushing a B+ just cuz we picked up so many draft picks and we have been methodical this year and it aint over yet.

Ah young grasshopper, you forget you are talking about the Redskins!!!!! So far we have done very well, but most of our picks are yet to come. Crazy things can happen on Sat night.

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3
 

Lol, we pulled a reverse Falcon. The Falcons wanted a reciever so they used 5 draft picks to select Julio Jones. Redskins also wanted a reciever so they traded back 5 million times and got Leonard Hankerson.

I'm calling it now, Hankerson will be just as productive as Jones. Actually probably more productive as Hankerson doesn't have durability concerns.

I agree.

A) Kerrigan may be a difference maker
B) Maybe one of our later picks will be a diamond in the rough
C) There's always free agency, perhaps
D) Given our gajillion needs, getting able bodies this year might be more important than adding difference makers, who might need to wait for later

Or if they don't turn into stud receivers they become great returners as consolation prizes (think Roscoe Parish and Devin Thomas).

I like Wujciak, but I see him as a UDFA or perhaps a 7th rounder, which we have plenty of. Some might be turned off by his lack of speed, but I think the guy is a player.

Hankerson reminds me of a slightly slower version of Andre Johnson. I think/hope he'll be a star.

I noticed that to. That was part of the reason I suspected they wouldn't take Mallet. Also probably why they didn't go after Kendrick Ellis who just went to the Jets.

This guy could be our Wes Welker, maybe in the 5th round.

I'm stoked about this years draft so far. Even if the picks don't pan out, I'm thrilled at the philosophy taken from our front office. It's a far cry from not having picks or trading picks away to move up and get a guy that ends up a scrub.

3-4 DEs rarely make probowls. 3-4 OLBs do make probowls.

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3
 

After Day 2 I'll go with an [B]A[/B][B]-[/B]. The [B]-[/B] only because I thought there were better NT's available (Austin, Ellis, Paea) but like someone said, Bowers racked up 15 sacks so Jenkins was collapsing the pocket and drawing double teams. Hankerson was an total steal, [B]SHOCKED[/B] he made it all the way to #79. Most gave him a 2nd round grade and some (even Prisco) gave him a 1st. Not to mention trading back to now have at least 1 pick in the last 4 rounds is something Vinny would've never done. We still need an OT, ILB, QB, CB, but I can sleep in peace knowing we filled needs at value spots.

You do realize that NE (that great organization you know?) passed on Jordan as well and they run the 3-4 as well. So why are we dolts for passing on him, and the Pats brilliant? Hell, they need pass rush just as bad as we do.

I'm sure you've gone over all their game film repeatedly, unlike Shanny and crew just viewing youtube highlights of players. Amateurs I tell ya.

I wouldn't say the pats have drafted well the past 5 years or so. They've drafted 3 rbs and 4 corners in the first two rounds over that span. And passed on clay matthews.
