I must, once again, defend the distinction between "Devin Thomas was a bad selection" and "Devin Thomas is a bust."

The first statement is something I made less than 5 seconds following his selection. The second is something that I (and skinsfan69 and everyone else who has any patience) would not even consider saying until sometime into the 2009 season.

We'll wait it out as fans, because there's no other real option. But I think there is something to be said when your decision maker chooses the worst prospect out of all the players being considered with his first selection. We'll live, as long as this doesn't become a trend. Bad selections are made all the time in the NFL, and apparently, the Redskins are not above that.
