Redskins Select Jarmon in 3rd Round of Supplemental Draft

[KLHJ2]

The supplemental draft is supposed to be "bargain shopping" you should be able to get Day 1 talent with Day 2 picks. If you rate a guy as a 2nd round talent, then you want to pick him in the 4th round or later in my opinion. I think that this was a reach and I hope that I am not bitching about it still in April.

3rd rounder is a Day 2 pick

Edit: I misread your post...or did I? The ol' Warpath version of the "Jedi mind Trick"

Yes but it is still practically day 1 talent. I just think its too high now matter how you think about it.

Wait, didn't I just say 3rd rounder is a day 2 pick? Why'd you say not anymore?

I mis-read your post and now I'm all confused.

Lets keep it simple. I would have been ok with a 4th round pick. 3 was too high IMO.

Not really. Undrafted free agents are 'bargain shopping'; the supplemental draft is only for players that became ineligible after the regular draft. The rule of thumb for draft slot is similar to trading next years pick for an additional one this year. If you want a 3rd, it's going to cost you a 2nd because you are getting an extra year of service. Same thing here, if he was graded now as a 4th, we got him in the 3rd because we are getting '09 playing time from a '10 draft pick. Make sense?

Since we coughed up a 3rd I expect him to contribute some this season but hopefully he'll have a bigger role in 2010. I think Buzbee gets cut, and Jarmon has a chance to backup one of the starting end's.

No, he played last year, he tested positive for a banned substance after the deadline for entering the 2009 Draft so he had to go the Supplemental Draft route. He had a great '07 (7 sacks) but his production was down in '08 (4 sacks) largely due to more attention and double teams. That's probably why there was such a range in his draft slot predictions if he came out in '09.

Yeah my bad, he had 9 ('07) then 4.5 ('08) but some scouts are saying his sacks dropped due to double teams in '08. Even though I think he's worth a 4th, I like the pick. This is an investment for the future w/ either Dainels, Wynn or both gone in 2010. This could be a solid draft with Orakpo, Barnes and Jarmon making a impact in their rookie year. Who can tell me how they slot Jarmon in terms of his contract?
