With the 16th Pick, Washington Selects…

The return game question is a good one. I don't know that using our#1 pick and likely starting corner as a returner is a good move. But I do wonder whether we could pick up a real return threat in later rounds. It's been way too long since we've had a true threat back there on kicks.

So true. We've had some great return men over the years and I miss the excitement they provided.

I'm old enough to remember us using Darrell Green as return man in a playoff game (remember those?) I think against Chicago. He scored but was injured on the play, ribs maybe. So the point of maybe not using a starting corner as return guy is a good one. Except maybe in the playoffs...

Yeah at only 166lbs it would be best to rarely use Forbes in the return game.

To be fair to Darrell, he was already hurt before that play, him hurdling a defender just reaggravated it
