I agree, it seems if it fits peoples personal opinions on the site these people who evaluate the draft or write these columns are wonderful and what they write or evaluate is to live and die by, but for heaven sake as soon as they write about the Redskins being bad or a player you have a great interest in being dogged these writers suck Redskins haters. I agree with everyone that most of the time the writers have no earthly idea any good insight into the draft, the Redskins, etc.... It is funny even myself like yesterday searched and searched for someone to say something good about Rocky McIntosh because I did not know much about him and if it was good that writer knows what he is talking about and others who didn't like the pick use the other writers who say the pick and the draft sucked for the skins, some sites said good others said bad. I think we have proven ourselves time and time that we do not know more than this organization when evaluating talent. Of course they are going to miss on some, all teams do, but we have had some good pick ups to this team via FA and draft. I don't care if you say they can't pick players in the late rounds of the draft their picks got us to the playoffs and this years FA and draft filled every hole we had on the team so to me it was successful off season. Draft grades mean squat. Reggie Bush even as good as he is could be a bust in the NFL with injuries, or just being on a bad Saints team not in the right situation, anything can happen.

It does seem like a high price to pay. Why did we have to give up 2 second-round picks in addition to the sixth-rounder (which we got from the Jets anyway)? I hope it works out.

If you cannot rust one of the 5 greatest coaches in NFL history and THE greatest coaching staff EVER assembled...who are you going to trust...a bunch of sports writters?

I agree; I totally trust Gibbs. It's Vinny who makes me a little nervous.

The guys drafted all seem to be of sound character and solid students of the game. Gibbs has always trusted in getting the most out of his hardest-working players.

I dont think Vinny does much of anything without Gibbs and in this case Williams stamp of approval. Gibbs and CO. make the decisions, Snyder writes the checks and Cerrato is along for the ride. Just my opinion though.

I knew we would go after a LB with our 2nd rounder, and not surprised at all that we had to move up to get him. What I am a little suprised at is we drafted so many defensive players. We still have no depth at O-line. I thought we may address those needs, but then again how many lineman would actually make the team drafted between the 5th and 7th rounds. Our draft grades from year to year aren't always going to be totally fair either. We throw draft picks away like they are deceased. So, we dont have many picks to get quality players. McIntosh was a quality pick. Smart dude, with sure tackel ability. I do think he is going to push our OLBs that are currently on the roster. Playing for Miami does make a difference, no matter who believes it or not. This school churns out more NFL players than most. Again, I dont put so much into what the experts give us as far as a grade, besides, this isn't school its the NFL draft. The only thing, I feel, that can be graded are how the player performs during or after a season. I dont care how hyped up a guy is coming out of school, that don't mean SH*T in the NFL>
