Shanahan: Williams is a natural for zone-blocking scheme

[mredskins]

I am glad we picked a LT but it hard to get exicited about OL picks. Even when we picked Lavar and Samuals, I was all pumped about Lavar and was like oh yeah that Chris guy too.

I know Chris was the much better pick but I don't know. Maybe it is like this when you buy a new hot water heater for your house, you needed it but really it is not an exciting purchase.

Agreed - and perhaps the reason, in the past, the water was always cold at Redskins Park.

As much as we know management does not rely on what we the fans think when it comes to what players to select in any given draft, it's safe to say (for a great majority) of us, we can find solace in the fact a player was chosen that few can/will disagree with.

It gives us a feeling (false though it may be) that they were listening to the way we felt they should go with the #4 overall pick.
