Kendall is not a bad pickup considering our need at the position, he's an average at best guard, who is 34 years old, but we should have built our line way past the likes of Kendall by now.

Kendall is not a potential HOF candadite, that is for sure. But to get the quality lineman that you have in Kendall at this time of year is a very good bargin.
When most of the new additions to teams in August are camp fodder from other teams, the Redskins have added a starter and depth for a 4th or 5th rounder. That is pretty good if you ask me.
This years draft was not very deep in line talent, but the '08 draft is projected to be very deep in O-line talent. A lineman taken in the 4th or 5th round of '08 could potentially have been a second or third rounder in '07.
This was a sound move by the front office. Nothing to jump up and down and call in sick for, but also nothing to hang your head about either. Just a good solid move.
