From link
"LeRibeus said every team he worked out for had him take snaps at center, too. He played in a man blocking scheme at SMU, but said he played in a zone scheme during the Shrine Game. The Redskins use a zone blocking scheme."

Im guessing we drafted him as guard, but you never know.

I got no problems. Seems like a nice guy.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

hold on, Brandon Taylor, Brandon Brooks and Dwight Bently were still on the board and we still drafted Josha McRibeus? mutherf*cker

[quote=Dirtbag59;912738]Speed isn't the name of the game. Offensive line is all about quickness. I'd grade out his footwork at an A- based on the combine footage I aw.[/quote]
Yep.
As I mentioned, people really need to start looking at 20-yard shuttles and 3-cone drills for OLinemen instead of 40 times. Now, he isn't that great in either category, but not so low as to say he's lethargic. Lichtensteiger's 40 is also awful(a 5.25), as I have already mentioned.

And Leribeus has hit the weight room, putting out a decent bench press.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;912731]I love how so many people here act like this guy should have gone in 5th-7th round because AFTER we drafted him they did a google search and in 20 seconds saw some website comprised of opinions of people who are NOT NFL GMs gave him that grade. Our front office, and the other 31, pay staffs of scouts, coaches, and gms lots of money to evaluate college players. Team staffs spend MONTHS researching all these players in depth, and give each one of them a grade based on feedback provided by scouts, position coaches, coordinators, head coah, etc. but some people here label this guy a reach and piss on MONTHS of work because of a 20 second google search.

So if you're one of those who instantly criticized this pick, tell us all:

What do you know about him in 20 seconds that our team didn't find out in their extensive research?[/quote]

a reach is a reach. You don't have to be Albert Einstein to spot one. It is obvious they liked the guy and he very well maybe a a great player for us, which is the most important thing. I think what people are disappointed about is the possibility they could have got a higher ranked player AND this guy as well. I guess the FO's logic is that if they had him ranked this high then another team may of also so just be safe and take him now.

It's a very good sign that coach Shannahan coached him at the senior bowl using the zone blocking system so he knows what he is getting.

If you base your opinion of a person on a few seconds of Internet reading, and that opinion is contrary to that of people who spent months doing research, then it means one of two things:

Looks like I was wrong on that. But he did gain the weight.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

Teams working him at center, so may plug in at multiple positions. Hope they know what they're doing. With two fourth rounders, would have assumed this guy would have been there to take later.

Good thing Shanahan can make these mid-round draft picks turn into gold, because I'm disappointed by what seems like reach. I'm hoping he's more than Chad Rinehart, another one drafted too early in the 3rd round -- who's off our team.

If LeRibus wins a Starting spot at G or C in a year or two , where he was drafted won't matter , and we added another pick .

So, DWBH cuz AFIK and AAMOF Josh is not to totally H8 nor is he HHIS. IOW he is not NOOB. So PLZ W8 & TC BC there is never TMI here. :rant:

He should get credit for losing the weight, much easier to gain it than lose it.

He's also got some size and ooomph. Seems like Shanny is higher increased his standards now that he doesn't have 8 games one mile above sea level and the NFC East is one bloodthirsty divsion on defense.

[quote=skinsnut;912755]I think this kid was a captain too....Allen and Shanny love picking captains[/quote]

I believe there was an entire thread about this. Initially thought to be a strategy employed only by the KC Chiefs, it was later believed that many drafted players are captains because normally only the best players on college teams are the ones to be named captains. I remember a lot of pics of various cartoon captains as well.

there is actually some decent talent going into the 4th tomorrow. Hopefully we can grab some without reaching.

Thats the general rule: If you like the guy you should take him. Your assumption that he will be there later may not come to pass: you don't know if he will be there later or not. You can ASSUME but you really don't know. If you like him and the next option available is significantly worse, then it is smarter to take him now while you can and accept the criticism for taking him "too early" vs. risking losing him because you knew he would be there later.

You're right the months of research has paid off on guys like Dennis Morris, Terrence Austin, and Selvish Capers. Why wouldn't I think every pick will pan out just like the FO hopes? I should never question Bruce & Co. If it weren't for them, I'd have to read draft magazines and look at draft websites. What a waste of time that would be. I could never get those few seconds back. I'm glad I have Bruce Almighty to base my opinions on.

Lamar Miller should be there by our pick in the 4th.

Theres a difference between forming reasonable opinions and knee jerk reactions.

There are people here who's opinions I pay attention to and those I don't. Some shed insight. Others remind me of why I left extremeskins. Anyone who justifies their opinion by taking the opposite opinion to the extreme to point its ridiculousness ca t be taken seriously.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

Obviously, the Redskins thought that LeRibeus was going to be drafted before their next pick and they thought he was the best interior offensive lineman left.

All of this is not going to matter in the end as long as LeRibeus plays well. Just like any other draft pick, only time will tell.

After drafting griffin, depth along the line had to be our priority. Shanahan loves competition and he's giving our interior guys (none of whom are highly acclaimed) someone to worry about.

I agree but the gambler in me says throw the dice. I think to be a truly great GM you have to peek in your shorts on draft day to see if you have a pair.

I'm not saying you're wrong with questioning the redskins draft picks in this current regime, but comparing the LeRibeus pick to one 6th rounder and 2 7th rounders is not a proper comparison. Plus Terrence Austin, as a 7th rounder, has actually been a contributor to the the team.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

Barring a trade, Lamar Miller is a possibility as everyone above the Skins except the Texans have drafted a RB this year.

I think CB will be the next pick.

Re: 2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)
 

Hell, the Skins got a C grade from Pete Prisco so he can't be that bad...That's like an A- at least :)
