[quote=SirClintonPortis;830829]Ummmm, I think we had 100% draft retention in 2008. You know, that really bad draft class....

I was just looking to see if anyone mentioned this. Im not sure keeping a player really means anything.

Even if you look at this year, did we keep them because they are good? Or becuase the players we have from previous drafts were that bad so it owuldnt be hard to make the team....

Plus with our 'youth movement' we had plenty of old guys that needed replacing

Can't compare 2008 to now.

Vinny kept his picks, nuff said.

2008 was an idiotic draft.
The first three picks should have been offensive linemen.

Redskins weren't interested in winning, then....only selling jerseys.

You are correct about the linemen - only thing is, they would have all been big, maulers. They would have been cut by now because of the switch to ZB.

Every time we bring in a new regime - we start the roster from scratch. If we had kept Norv Turner as coach [OMG!], we would have had the stability to have won a SB by now. Switching coaches all the time is suicide.

If you mean three OL in the place Thomas, Kelly, and Davis, then **** no, unless you have strange romantic fantasies about Chilo Rachal, Mike Pollack, and John Greco. I'd rather have Jackson and Rice, thank you very much.

Re: Kudos to the Skins 2011 Draft
 

I agree... at the time I didn't know what the heck we were doing trading down so many times but...
we really had a solid draft I like the overall upside of this skins draft class and so many to look forward to see develop.

Re: Kudos to the Skins 2011 Draft
 

Another part that burns me about 2008 is the lack of players we had in critical positions and we draft a damn punter.
A freakin punter!

Re: Kudos to the Skins 2011 Draft
 

Speaking of drafting, I did that email bruce allen thing on the Redskins page, and asked him about what he thinks about next years draft, and he basically said expect us to get a QB with the amount of good ones that are coming out next year...
