Why would we do that? I don't see much of a need at LB. If there is a decent d-linemen in there we need to jump on that, or a CB.

[Darrell_Green_28]

theres the CB

[12thMan]

J.T. Tryon CB from ASU.

[RMSkins]

[NYCskinfan82]

We went CB not bad

[Ruhskins]

DB...hmm good...although they just said he's a 7th rounder. Oh well, we need a DB.

Yeah I definitely think we could have got him in later rounds. Seems like a pretty big reach to me when IMO there were better defensive players on the board like Erin Henderson, Josh Barrett, Orlando Scandrick, Geno Hayes, DeMario Pressley.

having played against EJ in high school and watching him hit someone so hard, snot bubbles came out his nose, I would love to see his little (well only in age) come to washington.... Those Aberdeen Brother play some smash mouth football

Great. We reach for a guy who was a projected 7th rounder at CB, draft 3 pass catchers with our first 3 picks, and still haven't sniffed D-line or O-line which our the two biggest needs. Not building in the trenches... This is a bad draft so far for us.

I wouldn't go so far as to say this was a bad draft. We addressed the need of a bigger presence at receiver and we have added a G to our roster. CB depth is helpful we just reached way too far.

The CB was a 2nd team all american...reach...could have been had in FA after the draft? Wasn't Smoot thought about the same way coming out of college?

No...Smoot was projected as a first rounder but fell to us in the 2nd.
No comparison

No offense but I think you are overreacting. They just need to add some depth to the d-line. I mean last year everyone swore we were going to get a d-lineman and it didn't happen (did we every pick one up in last year's draft?) and the d-line fared well. I think Blache can develop Wilson as Daniel's replacement.
