Grade the Redskins Draft!

The last 4 picks were a complete embarrassment. There were some solid O-lineman available.

This FO is an embarrassment.

I believe Brian Orakpo will be our best draft pick since Chris Cooley. (I'd say since Sean Taylor, but Cooley was drafted shortly after him. As a matter of fact, with the way Cooley keeps churning out awesome seasons, you can almost speculate that we picked potential Hall of Famers with consecutive picks).

The fact that we didn't blow our wad on Sanchez restored some faith in the FO with me. However I'd love to hear an explanation as to why we ignored the O-line.

See I don't blame Vinny because he is a puppet. He is protecting his job.

It is almost like Snyder wants Campbell to fail. They should have traded the last 4 picks this year for picks next year.

The thing is that they will probably hit with Orakpo and the corner and then claim how successful the draft was.

Who the f--- is Cody Glenn?

Well, if you get two quality starters out of a draft, it was probably pretty successful, especially without a 2nd rounder.

That is a pretty low expectation level. When the Giants won it they nailed something like 7 picks.

I said quality starters. That Giants team got contributions from 7 or 8 guys, not 7 starters. Also, that was a serious exception (which was why it was talked about so much), not the norm for a "good" draft.

GMScud is right. The Giants got 7 contributors, not 7 starters, out of that draft. They also had 10 or 11 picks that draft and we had about half of that this year. No one starts 7 rookies unless they are the Lions.

If every team got 7 starters out of every draft, there'd be even more turnover in the NFL every year.

Two starters is a reasonable expectation and we may have gotten two.
