This year's rookie class, w/ the exception of Horton, has been beyond terrible; and let's be honest, 7th round picks are a complete crap shoot (Gimbran Hamden anyone?). Then Vinny goes and compounds the mistake by (1) keeping all them on the roster and (2) not placing Kelly on IR, which would have allowed the Skins to either keep another receiver or not cut Leigh Torrence when they signed Hall. If this were the first of Vinny's screw-ups we could forgive it as just one crappy draft, but the truth is it's just more of an on-going pattern.
Look, it's Snyder's team, if to him owning a winning team is not worth it unless he can win his way (calling the shots football wise), that's his decision and he certainly has a right to make it. It's just a shame that we the fans have to be subjected to it.

It's hard for me to argue that Snyder and Cerrato can change their ways. Nevertheless, there is a part of me that desperately hopes that they can because I don't think that either one of them is going anywhere.
I think that you're judging this draft class too soon, though. Sometimes it takes two or three seasons for a player to reach his potential. Even the great Art Monk didn't do much until his fourth season.
