Hmmm. No. So, it actually was a need position. The only debate is whether or not we now have too much invested at safety, a highly valid question.

And by the way, in all likelihood LaRon Landry is going to become one of the most popular Redskins players, quickly. Let's just see how this plays out before we jump to conclusions. What's done is done, and I for one will be looking for people who cry about this pick, only to become huge Landry Lovers once this guy shows us all what he is capable of on the field. I will personally hand out huge plates of crow pie to all those who are guilty of this likely and predictable flip flop.

I don't think anyone is actually upset that Landry is going to be next to Taylor. I don't think anyone wants the guy to be a bust. I think everyone wants Landry to be a Pro Bowler and will root for him. BUT, I think there are a lot of people who question the emphasis on the secondary at the expense of the D-line. I think that's a reasonable view.

Can I keep a plate of crow pie for those who think our D-line didn't need an upgrade via the 6th pick?

I think the d-line needs help but with none of the guys available really being top ten $ worthy in a lot of people's opinion, I'm glad the front office went with the more sure fire pick instead of running the risk of tieing a huge contract to a player whose position puts out some of the biggest 1st round busts. The team probably has their eye on a few potential cap cuts and their are a couple others already out on the market whose asking prices are dropping each day it gets closer to the start of the season.

I saw before the draft that carolina has realized his worth, and he won't be going anywhere
