Our front office, and the other 31, pay staffs of scouts, coaches, and gms lots of money to evaluate college players. Team staffs spend MONTHS researching all these players in depth, and give each one of them a grade based on feedback provided by scouts, position coaches, coordinators, head coah, etc. but some people here label this guy a reach and piss on MONTHS of work because of a 20 second google search.

So if you're one of those who instantly criticized this pick, tell us all:

What do you know about him in 20 seconds that our team didn't find out in their extensive research?

So should we have done extensive research as well to be entitled to an opinion? What should our opinions be based on? Blind faith? Sorry, I didn't pour through MONTHS of game tape to base my opinion. I take it all back. I can't wait to see LeRibeus in the Pro Bowl. Oh, wait...

If you base your opinion of a person on a few seconds of Internet reading, and that opinion is contrary to that of people who spent months doing research, then it means one of two things:

1) you're a moron
2) you think too highly of your own Ill-informed opinions

You're right the months of research has paid off on guys like Dennis Morris, Terrence Austin, and Selvish Capers. Why wouldn't I think every pick will pan out just like the FO hopes? I should never question Bruce & Co. If it weren't for them, I'd have to read draft magazines and look at draft websites. What a waste of time that would be. I could never get those few seconds back. I'm glad I have Bruce Almighty to base my opinions on.

I'm not saying you're wrong with questioning the redskins draft picks in this current regime, but comparing the LeRibeus pick to one 6th rounder and 2 7th rounders is not a proper comparison. Plus Terrence Austin, as a 7th rounder, has actually been a contributor to the the team.

Um, their research led them to wait out for those guys you mentioned until the very late rounds, rounds in which most of the players taken in those rounds do not last long in the NFL.

Now, if you had read the projections on Capers, he would have been a FOURTH rounder, not a 7th. The FO thus defied "the masses" desires and avoided a reach.
