And how did Erasmus James work out for us? Does anyone have a tape of James' numerous Redskins highlights?

Nope. I snuck in and burned them in the middle of the Ashburn practice field with all of the other Vinny highlight reels.:FIREdevil

Honestly, that was a door ding on the fiery car explosion that was the V Cerrato era.

People are used to getting Carriker-esque players only when we trade away a 2nd and 3rd this year, and a conditional 6th next year. Getting the good end of the stick on a deal like this one starts the syndrome cycle over again. http://www.thewarpath.net/images/icons/icon7.gif

Yep. Thanks for the catch. Still being a scrub and whatnot I'm still fine-tuning how to use some of the more stately features. So how does the emoticon work anyway?

instead of posting quick reply go advanced and it's one of the drop downs, also there when you quote someone

I think the thing about Carriker, is he hasn't really played. I wasn't on the bring him in band wagon and I think we did get good value. i am not extremely high on him, but if he brings him something to the D great!

We can cut him in training camp if he isn't playing well and it is no real loss.

Hell if we get anything out of the guy and the 5th pans out we are ahead of the game for once. Not three steps behind.

Pretty good move, but now we are down to 3 picks unless Detroit or Tennessee go for AH and Oakland, Buffalo, Cleveland, take a shot at JC. I don't like what is going on if this theory of going for shedded older linemen is truly their strategy. I can appreciate the " win now" approach, but isn't that the same basic approach Dan and Vinny have been doing all along with these overpaid FAs? I mean we have been doing this getting shedded older linemen/rejects a lot post drating Samuels. I truly hope 2 of our 3 picks are linemen now. WE really could use a small core of younger players to truly build a line around. You can get all the FAs you want in the skilled positions, but I think you truly need to build a line using the draft more than what we have been doing for the past decade.

We didnt lose a pick we swaped 5th's and 7th's. We dropped like 20 spots in the 5th and we jumped three spots in the 7th. We got him for nothing if you think about. In other words we have a front office who are sitting behind a desk and not behind a morning talk show.

I saw the CSN video in the Redskins weight room Carriker looks like a BIG country mofo, that's a compliment if he's lifting weights the shoulders got to be close to 100%.

Did you see Orakpo and Sellers too? Holy shit... I wish Daniels had been on camera too, that guy is a 300 pound anvil.
