Redskins release Devin Thomas

[GTripp0012]

I wouldn't go with the bust label with DHB yet. His deal was that he was a very long-term project. Not one year or two years.

Ultimately, that was the deal with Devin Thomas as well. We needed to spend longer developing him if we were going to bother with him at all. But taking Kelly and Davis in the same draft kind of killed that ability to develop the guy. It became more of a competition for playing time than a long-term development project.

And his draft profile suggested he was going to lose that battle from the beginning.

i second that, and not to mention he should have been drafted around 25th not 7th or where ever he was selected. and he is also in oakland without a qb.

I hated taking Thomas/Davis/Kelly the day Vinny did it, and I still hate it - and yes, I even hate the Davis pick (with DeSean Jackson on the board). At this point, we may as well start Davis at WR to at least get him more targets in the offense.

I'll always wonder what would have happended if instead of drafting 2 WRs we draft at least 1 if not 2 OL?
