Re: Tom Compton pick 6.23
 

Weirdest part of this whole draft was for 3 picks when the Redskins took someone I was expecting to see S, WR, TE, or LB and when I saw a G or T next to the name it took me a second to process what position they played because a lot of times I wasn't really expecting them to take a lineman.

Bravo Bruce Allen bravo. You told us the line was important when you were hired back in fall 2009 and you have now drafted more OL in 3 years then Vinny did over the course of a 9 year reign of terror.

Wow, that is a completely ridiculous and completely expected statistic.

I covered Compton throughout his career at the University of South Dakota and the pre-draft process. He needs to get in the weight room, but he should definitely make an impact at some point. He could probably help out at guard immediately.

I have a really good feeling about this kid. I think he could get some starts this year and by next year he is our starting right tackle.

He just needs some quality time with ole Phil Daniels. That will teach him about pushing yourself in the weight room.

A guy who can do a 700 lb squat needs to hit the weight room? Just how strong can this guy be?! I'm excited. :FIREdevil
