It's LaRon Landry!

[redskinsfanatic]

i would have been okay with okoye,but landry does open up a lot of options.
he has to be faster than anybody other than santanna on the whole team is'nt he?

This draft has left me feeling empty. It's so hard to watch all the other teams in the NFL getting better at multiple positions while we basically are standing still and just getting a year older.

I would have rather seen us address the defensive line, but I'm not totally against LaRon Landry as a player. He may be good for us for years. My problem is he's the only guy we added today.

There are 31 teams around the NFL who got better today. I don't feel like we did.

Yeah, watching guys like Aron Sears, Chris Houston, Steve Smith go later then expected was so tough. With all the depth this year it was not an opportune time to have no picks.

I've been saying that since February!!!

BUT No One Listens!

It sucks being right sometimes, even when you don't want to be.

The Redskins got better with Landry. He's going to make our defense that much more versatile. He's an explosive player that loves to hit and make big plays. We made the absolute best possible pick by drafting the best defensive player in the entire draft. AA was there last year for gods sake, to say that's not a need position is nuts......

EXACTLY. I'm sick of the whining. We filled a lot of holes and needs with this draft: safety, LB, backup QB (unless you all WANT Todd Collins). The only unnecessary pick was the TE, but hey, how many 7th rounders ever make the team anyways?

We had a great draft as I see it.

I just hope that we can add more depth at the d-line WITHOUT giving up one of next years picks.

I have a feeling we have learned the hard way. With that being said I do believe next years picks are safe and we will have a FULL draft.

Yeah, I've got to say that I was surprised that the Redskins did not give up some of next year's picks to secure additional picks this year. I was happy they didn't as I still do not see the logic of trading a 1st for a 2nd this year or a 2nd next year for a 3rd this year.

But, it's kind of hard to swallow that the team gave up this year's 2nd rounder for a guy that they were about to replace with Lance Briggs. That second rounder could have snagged S Eric Weddle, OG Justin Blalock, OG Tony Ugoh, DE LaMarr Woodley, MLB David Harris, FB/RB Brian Leonard, OC Ryan Kalil, DE Quentin Moses, or MLB Buster Davis. Maybe Rocky will be a stud, but their attempt to replace him doesn't inspire confidence. It's similarly hard to swallow that we lost the opportunity to draft guys like CB Marcus McCauley, DT Tank Tyler, S Aaron Rouse, CB Daymeion Hughes, and DT Quinn Pitcock because we traded for Duckett.

With the FO taking a stand on Rocky not being part of the deal for Briggs, I see that as a sign that the Briggs trade talks might have more to do with how unsure they are of Marcus coming back from his major hip surgery than Rocky's ability to be one of the starting lbs.

personally, I was thrilled when we picked him. Any other D player would have been a toss up in how productive they would be. Landry is as close to a sure thing as we were able to get. IT was a safe and smart pick. I can't wait to see landry, taylor, and Carlos for many, many years.

Nothing against Landry, but i am disappointed with the outcome of the first day of the draft.

Needed to address d-line, needed to get more picks, didn't do either. It is that simple as far as i am concerned.

You can't get extra picks unless someone offers them. It was clear that they didn't get a good enough offer for that.

The mistake was made last year by giving up a really high second round pick this year for Rocky McIntosh last year. That one killed us. Then a 3rd rounder for Duckett who isn't even on the team, a 4th for Lloyd just barely escaped getting the axe ...

It's sickening.

I guess we will have on of the best secondaries in the NFL. Meanwhile, we will have QB's that will have all day to exploit our highly drafted and hyped-up secondary. We will continue to get gashed on running plays. And, God help us when we are in goal-line situations. But, hey guys our secondary is a great tackling bunch, too bad that they will be making tackles in the end-zone. Maybe we will get some help come June 1st.
