???? We DRAFTED this guy. So next April when we don't have this pick to use on draft day we can say we drafted him and got him a year early. We didn't get rid of the pick we just used it early. We still have the same allotment that we had 2 days ago, just one of them has been used.

Totally agree with tis statement. We used a draft pick on a college player one year early. Period. We didn't trade it for a vet or anything else. I live in SEC country now and all ofmy friends are SC Gamecocks fans. They all know who this guy is and seem to think he could be a beast. One of them who knows the most is an Eagles fan and he wishes they had gotten him. Good job front office. nice addition to a D line who is instantly young.

I really haven't seen him play, just going by what I've read. This is good to hear from people with firsthand knowledge.

I can't really say anything to support or be against this move because I have none on this guy beside the reports on him I read.. However, I would have to look at this move as a positive sign for our FO; the reason why we drafted Jarmon is to replace Phillips and Wynn after the 2010 season.. Which is something we rarely do.. I hope the FO will continue this trend..

I guess I can say I'm in waiting-to-see-what-happens mode (pretty much same as everyone else) but I don't think it would be a bust pick for us.. I'm not saying that Jarmon would rise to a great or star player, but I believe he will rise to level where he is serviceable as #1 LDE for years.. Or more..

GI, you could say that again! Your reason is the same reason I haven't brought myself to vote in this poll.

I've been checking the 2010 Draft that Dirtbag posted. I didn't see Jarmon.

Of course all of those players would have been 1st rounders, and Jarmon is a 3rd.

All SEC isn't chopped liver, but is it good for a 3rd? Maybe I'll withhold any judgement until TC and pre-season!

I've tried explaining that 3 times in this thread. Some people don't get it and aren't going to. We're going to hear the same whining next spring about 'we only have 5 picks' even though one of our 6 picks will already have one year of NFL experience.

True, I'm aware that he's considered a draft pick for next year. But the risk taken on this 3rd round player this year is not the same as a 3rd round pick next year. This guy was in the supplement draft for a reason.

Basically I'm just saying that the Skins are choosing to be risky when they aren't really in the position of dominance to assume that kind of risk.

Supplemental draft, not supplement draft. Freudian slip

How is the risk taken on a 3rd round pick any less next year?

lol...I didn't even see that...

He hasn't played competitive football in a year which is always something that hinders athletic progress. Pacman wasn't the same player when he came back to the Cowboys, I doubt Vick will be, but that is a tangent.

The guy did better earlier in his college career and then his stats trail off. He subsequently gets charged with taking PEDs, not to say he used them for an athletic edge.

If we had the 3rd round pick next year we would have a broad selection of various athletic talents to choose from. We instead used it this year on one risky player who hasn't played within the year.

...I'm not saying it's a terrible thing, I'm just saying that it is risky when a team like the Skins have already used up all of their risk in the recent years.

I think his suspension came after he could enter the 2009 draft.

Skinny,

Didn't we have all our picks plus some in last year's draft. I could be wrong, but I thought we did.

#1. All drafted players are risky. Face the fact. No one knows how they will turn out in the NFL.
#2. Experts are saying had he come out this yr he would have been a 3rd or higher.
#3. If I'm not mistaken...he played in 2008. In May he found out he would not get to play in college this yr...2009, so he entered the Supp. Draft in order to move on to the pros. He has not been out a yr.
The NCAA ruled Jarmon, a three-year starter for the Wildcats, ineligible for the 2009 college football season
His only recourse was to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft so that he would not miss a football season.

#4. The only down side is the fact next yr you won't hear the Skins pick 6 times. Big Deal. They picked up a draft early to train and he's from college so he's young not some old has been we keep giving up several picks for.

[MTK]

I don't see where there's all that much risk involved with this pick. At least not anymore risk than is involved with any pick.

[SBXVII]

Also if you want to talk about Risk then Orakpo is the biggest risk in my opinion. He was picked up in the first round and will be getting paid a lot of money. If he does not do well or does not fit our system we are screwed. But that could also be said of AH. Look at Archuletta.

To get this guy a yr early is awsome. At worst he has a yr to learn the system and learn under some NFL pros. Then becomes a monster next yr. At best he gets playing time and several sacks.

I'm not going to keep cutting and pasting. Read for your self....
