[quote=diehard;794246]A grain of salt? Then why read into all of the other "rumors" going around?[/quote]

What? You've totally lost me

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

diehard lost me too.

Anyway, workouts are workouts. Don't read too far into them. Shanahan has a history of drafting guys he doesn't even work out.

And a lot of times teams are just doing their due diligence, and filing away this info for the future when these guys are free agents or are division rivals.

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

Here's a note. Of the players who were invited for private team visits last year, less than 20% were drafted by the team that invited them for a visit

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

Well that puts in all into perspective. Leave it up to me only to think this thread was all about prospects the team was actually interested in drafting. I'm such a retard. Excuse me please.

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

Ok so my question now is who all actually has been to Redskins Park for a visit? and who was on the list and who showed up yesterday for their visit? I know Dalton is reported to have a work out yesterday so did he show up? how did he look? and who else showed up for a work out?

All we got last week or the week before was Dalton and several other players would be attending Redskins Park for a work out. Who are the several other players? ... that actually showed up.

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

Dalton and Julio Jones were there yesterday. How they did I don't know

Most of the guys mentioned have been to visit already. Von Miller is today I believe (or maybe it was yesterday). Tyron Smith is tomorrow (or maybe it's today). Quinn is late this week I think

So word around the NFL now is that we Could trade up to get Gabbert, yet according to you all, we haven't met with him yet.. Either a smoke screen or another Cutler situation.

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

Quinn should be on that list as well.

But notice Locker, Cam Jordan, and Watt aren't on the list either

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

^ Mallett ?? Does he go on the list also?

Unfortunately JLC isn't the only one running with this story. In fact JLC didn't even break the story.

Redskins still interested in trading up for Gabbert?

From the department of “I know a guy who know’s a guy who knows something”:

As we approach the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft on Thursday, the scuttlebutt seems to be that the Redskins are not only still interested in drafting University of Missouri quarterback Blaine Gabbert, but also remain willing to trade up within the top 10 picks of the draft to go get him.

The first news of the Redskins (potential) interest in Blaine Gabbert came via Redskins still interested in trading up for Gabbert?

Will be interesting to see who if they select any more of the players they selected for predraft visits.

exactly!

It'd be great if we could get:

Jerrell Powe NT Ole Miss
Clint Bolling G Georgia
Salas WR Hawaii
Jeff Maehl WR Oregon
Evan Royster RB Penn State
Kendall Hunter RB OSU
Mike Arkin G Missouri State
Johnny Culbreth
Casey Matthews
Quan Sturdivant
Rashard Carmichael CB VT
Ricky Stanzi QB Iowa
Greg McElroy QB Bama
Tyrod Taylor QB VT
Alex Henry K Nebraska


If we get a few of these players tomorrow I will be very happy and give us an A+ draft.

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

ESPN 980 has had ints in the last few minutes with J. Jenkins and Helu. Both sound like good guys...can't wait to get started......
I like the message Shanny and BA are sending out with guys that will be the consumate team players.....won't lay on the field.
Most of all I hope with all my heart all of our new draft picks can kick the shit out of ESPN's clerical pool in the shuttle............

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

So we essentially drafted one guy out of all the people we had visits with.

What's shocking is how many QBs we were seemingly "interested" in.

Ain't that the truth, another thing that is funny is watching all these so called experts talk bad about all these drafted QB's now after they had talked like the were the second coming for weeks.

We had to generate buzz to generate options for a trade-down I suppose.

Re: Redskins Pre-Draft Visits and Private Workouts: 2011 Version
 

Redskins end up with two players from pre-draft visits. Evan Royster (RB Penn State) and some dude named Ryan Kerrigan.
