Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

This pick just baffles me

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

I'm happy that we got a linebacker but this guy does not seem to have been on the radar of many people. Perhaps we could have gotten him later, even after the draft. Maybe the FO knows something about him that others don't, however.

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

WTF. That bio says he isn't a big hitter. God damn we should have traded this pick also then. This draft class really sucks monkey balls past the 2nd round!!!!!

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

I think they wanted him in part because not only does he have upside (god I hate that word) but he also seems like he has the speed to cover from the LB position. It also seems like he's an effective blitzer. However was this guy really the best player on their board where you have Duke Robinson and Jamon Merideth available. Still I'm just glad they didn't take a QB, K, or P.

I'll definately give the guy a shot considering Chris Horton and Anthony Montgomery had low grades and they turned out well for us but I don't know if this qualifies as BPA.

Well I don't know what Robinson and Meredith did, but all these teams passed them over and Atlanta even took another Tackle before we picked. It must be a reason.

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

Yes they're to good. It likes selecting Man U in Fifa, Detroit in NHL 09, and New England in Madden. It's just not fair :D

Lol, but Trey Wingo says we drafted Offensive Linebacker.

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

Thank you Vinny for another A-class selection. You could have selected Meredith, or Robinson, but you went with a weak side linebacker, not that we need a Strong side linebacker, or that we already have McIntosh and Thomas on the weak side, you ignored the fact that he has only played one year at LB, because he couldn't play RB anymore because of his knee, ankle problems. You overlooked that, bringing this stellar talent to the redskins that can our obvious weak side linebacker voids. From the bottom of my heart, thank you Vinny for ignoring reason and bringing us such stellar talent.

I heard that too and thought I imagined it lol.

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

F that's one of the worst scouting reports i've ever read...was this guy expected to even go in the draft?

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

This is a bad choice, especially with Meredeth, Johnson, and Robinson still on the board.

And you overlooked the fact that this is the 5th round. Get over it.

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

Come on guys. We're expecting too much. We already had our one sensible pick with Orakpo. To go corner and weakside LB when our primary needs are tackle and SAM... Whatever. This Cody Glenn kid has only been a LB since spring of 2008 when injuries forced him to quit playing RB, plus he was suspended last year for a few games for violating team rules.

In summary, we drafted a guy with character issues who has only played LB for a handful of college games, at a position we don't really need. Sweet.

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

I think they passed up OL because they ironically have almost to many.

RT - Mike Williams
RG - Randy Thomas
C - Casey Rabach
LG - Derrick Dockery
LT - Chris Samuals

T- Stephon Heyer
T - Jon Jansen
G - Chad Rhinehart
G - Jason Fabini

You also have Devin Clark promised a chance to compete, the possibility of bringing back Pete Kendall as well as the possibility of adding a Center (lol, yeah right) before the day is up. I think 9 lineman is our limit but at the same time we could have easily replaced Fabini with Robinson.

In the meantime I'm kind of hoping that they take Javon Ringer. Guy was to productive to keep passing up especially this late in the draft

[quote=Smooter;551153]I heard that too and thought I imagined it lol.[/quote]

Ironic to considering he was a RB for 3 years at Nebraska.

Good pickup to fill a need. We didn't have any offensive linebackers before.

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

What? Why the hell is Fabini still w/ us? He was supposed to go back to truckdriving full time...

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

[quote=Ruhskins;551161]And you overlooked the fact that this is the 5th round. Get over it.[/quote]

Fifth round, so no talent can come out of 5th round? Let me name a few Talents that came out of the SIXTH round for you, Tom Brady, Terrell Davis, and Shannon Sharp. This guy has no potential, $20 bucks says he won't be on the team next year. Try not to speak out your ass next time.

Out of all of the sixth rounders taken in the last 15 years, how many turned out to be Tom Brady or Terrell Davis, and how many never made a roster?

And the point is at this point, you don't know till they are on the field. Weep and Gnash baby.

We will take these picks, and see what we find. or were you so aware last year that you were calling for Horton in the 7th?

Just relax, it will be ok.

I'm still sulking about that fact, We haven't addressed o-line and Duke Robinson was there but we took cody glenn??? I hope they see diamond in the rough attribute in him cause I'll be bitchin about this pick. It looks like Dallas Sartz all over again.

I bet you if we took Robinson, not only would he make the Team and cut Fabini/Clark, but he is likely to take over RG from Thomas net yr or 2, than Cody Glenn making the team and starting at WLB.

Chris Horton, Marques Colston 7th rounders. All of these players have/had immense potential, they are players who have been plagued by injury, nor have they been on the other side of the ball for their entire careers. This guy was an unproductive RB for the three years before he switched to become an underproductive LB. C'mon, we all know the late round are a shit shoot but at least go for players who have POTENTIAL to become something great, this guy might play special teams if we're lucky.

Can we wait until he's in pads on our field before we start making such speculations?

Let's face it, people said Brady had no potential, or he would not have made it to the 6th round.

Well we picked up a guy on the 3rd round last year and didn't see a minute on the field. The Raiders picked up a guy with the 7th overall pick that they could have easily picked in the 2nd round. All I'm saying is that you were overreacting, no need to get nasty there.

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

Hahaha, I'm just an intense person guys, I'm not meaning to offend anyone (much). But please, just read the reviews on this kid, he has talent? hardly.

Go Caps.

True, but it's a hit or miss with the draft, even in the first round. For every Chris Horton, there's a Dallas Sartz. Now if the FO had traded up for Sanchez, you would have seen me ranting off in here.

The problem people had with Brady was he was the most "unathletic" quarterback that they had ever seen, they didn't think that he could avoid the rush in the pocket. Other than there weren't really ny glaring negatives on Brady.

Re: Meet Cody Glenn
 

C'mon guys....toughin up, maybe go change your diaper. The guy calls someone an ass, and everyone gets their feelings hurt, lol.

Anyways........Duke Robinson would have been nice. And "late" rounders are a crap shoot, but taking someone that wasnt gonna be picked is plain stupid. Like has already been said, Id like to see them at least address a need when your rolling the dice.

OLB is not a need?

haha, i would have been with you on that one, all im saying is that Meredith and Robinson were both available. Robinson was a projected late second, early third round pick. His only flaw being charachter issues? He graduated with a 3.7. Call me crazy, this seemed as safe of a 5th round pick as was out there.

Actually people also doubted whether Brady had a strong enough arm and whether he could function in a pro-style offense.

But that is not the point. The point is that we don't really know who has potential, and who does not, until they start knocking heads. Scouting reports can be wrong. On field play is the proof in the pudding. So let's see them play before we judge.

I started to think about the offensive line, and I wonder what Buges must be telling the team. Didn't he have big compliment for Casey Rabach, who people here think is decomposing? I mean in the end the FO may be going with what Buges is telling them. Otherwise, maybe we would have gone with Oher.

I'm a HUGE Sooner fan so I would love nothing more than to see Sooners as Redskins but Duke had some serious issues. He was just not motivated and had an off field history. Dont know much about Meredith but there is definitely a reason why Duke slid. Remember Alan Branch a couple years ago? I know he was a DT but same kind of guy. Ridiculously talented but just not a hard worker. In the NFL you're going against guys who are all really talented. Kind of evens things out. Also in Duke's scouting report he is great at the point but awful at getting to the second level. With the 3-4, guards need to be able to get out to the second level.

He has played OLB for ONE (uno) years. i don't think Brady switched from Linebacker to Qb the year before he was drafted did he? Just checking my info.

Please, go for it, bust my grill. Oh, its a chicken shoot? Agreed, however, you can still take TALENT. God, they might as well have drafted a cheerleader. Have you read the reviews on him? This isn't rocket science, this kid couldn't play in college, what makes you think he can play in the pros? That is the key, of all the players that make it in the late rounds, how many of them have had almost zero impact in college? Take your best shot, haha, i think i can handle it. I wont go crying home to mommy like some of the yokels on here.
