Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

We went into the draft with a lot of hype and our name bandied about in virtually every draft preview linking us to Mark Sanchez.. Coming in, our needs were pass rushing DE, SLB, OL and depending on who you talk to, QB. It seemed to be pretty good chance that we would trade up for Sanchez or settle for one of the USC LB at #13 since Orapko and Oher would likely be gone. So looking back, what was the biggest surprise for you from this weekend?

A. That Orapko was there at #13 and we picked him
B. That Oher was there at #13 and we didn't pick him
C. That we didn't trade for Sanchez
D. That we didn't draft any offensive linemen
E. That we still have all of our 2010 draft picks

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

I'll go with E. I thought we might give up a mid-2010 pick.

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

F. That they actually talked to Jim Zorn during the draft.

But E of the choices.

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

We still have our 2010 picks.... for now.

We don't have next years 6th. Gotta love that Jason Taylor trade.

I just want to make sure we go into next year with our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounders intact (maybe the 4th).

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

Beside Orakpo, Cody Glenn is the surprise..

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

D. I would say A but that seemed like a small probability if a few picks were weird or a trade, but everybody said o-line was a need, even Zorn and the FO and they had 5 picks where it seemed (which is entirely based on kiper/mcshay btw cuz nobody really studies the game tape) that there was good value lineman available. I do expect Edwin Williams to make the team however so we'll get an o-lineman from this draft.

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

D. we had the opportunity at both the third and fifth round to make Significant O-line additions and we didn't. Instead we went for the Weak side running back.

[SIZE=6][COLOR=darkred]D. NO offensive linemen. We need to adress t[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=6][COLOR=darkred]he glaring needs of our team, not pickup camp fodder.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

Has to be D.

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

I was more surprised by the o-linemen we passed on more than anything. Gotta go with D.

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

we got another TE before an O lineman....unreal

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

I would go with A although I would rephrase it as, "The FO pulled off an excellent smoke screen which helped our targeted player to fall to us."

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

passing on Oher. im scared shit-less with Jansen penciled in as a starter

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

I was really surprised Orakpo was there at #13. I was really hoping he would slide but realistically I thought he would go top 10.

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

D.

We might as well put a white picked fence made out of dry rotted wood to protect Campbell. It's better than what we've got.

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

I'll be the optimist and go with A. I was shocked that Orakpo was still on the board at 13. Apparently the FO was also, given that they made the selection in about 30 seconds.

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

Definitely A.

I didn't think Orakpo would be there at #13. He was my top pick, but didn't realistically think we'd get him. :)


I was surprised we did not pick O-linemen, but Barnes was a steal we couldn't pass up. The team did get a good Center after the draft and possibly some tackle depth. Our line is solid WHEN healthy (except for Rabach), so it's really the depth we needed to focus on. We may have it if the two Terps make the team, along with Montgomery, Rinehardt, and Jansen (assuming Heyer starts over him). Is Geisinger gone?

Re: Poll: Biggest Redskins draft surprise
 

Well E is incorrect but we didn't give up any this year, so far.

ESPN basically flashed from "The Redskins are now on the clock" to "the pick is in" in about 15 seconds.
I thought that was a little odd.

I don't see that as being odd...it just looks like they were prepared and things fell their way.

They probably already talked with teams about trades and didn't find anything that impressed them in moving. That and Cerrato mostly spoke about trade downs in the later rounds, didn't mention it too much in the mid rounds. If the guy we wanted was there and either 1) we didn't want to trade because we wanted the guy or 2) the offers weren't great.. then there's not much reason to waste time just sitting around.. sure people expect you to, but whatever.. we'd still have plenty of people bitching that we didn't pick their favorite mid to late rounder and about whoever we picked with the additional 5th or 6th that we got
