Thanks.

You're right. There must have been reason to believe McIntosh would've been selected before 53rd overall. But this is why you have more than one guy who fits what you're trying to do right?

Why do you think we wanted D'Qwell? There has been nothing to suggest that at ALL -- this is pure rumor.

McIntosh is bigger, significantly faster and is a natural WLB, which we needed. While D'Qwell has spent some time on the outside, he really excelled as an ILB which we already have in Marshall.

Have some faith in the front office that they didnt just randomly trade up not knowing if their target was there.

Good point. D'Quell has excelled on the inside, which is probably where he'll play in Cleveland, whilc Mac...in a WLB. I think they got their man, no doubt.

Hmmm. Kiper is really talking down about Thomas Howard. I'm feeling somewhat better already.

Gibbs press conference is over, but I am sure its on Redskins.com

lets just give away all of our other picks for Devin Hester and go home. Hell give em all the picks from next year for that gay kid from who's the boss too while we're at it.

Im not sayin the McIntosh pick was bad, but I think we did not have to give up so much to get a quality player where we were.

Daryl Tapp also comes to mind... wonder where he'll go...

draft is not yet over
as Joe Gibbs said, drafts is won with the later round picks and also the undrafted,
because high picks also drains salary cap (which we don't have)


hail to skins
hail to gibbs

If we can get some OL help and a Punter, we will be ok.

This is as good a day as any to start posting again!

McIntosh wouldnt have been there at 53, its the guy they wanted. Yes, we gave up a 2nd for next year, but who cares if they got who they have been targeting. Pretend we had all 7 of our original picks this year, we wouldnt need to sign 7 players, we dotn even have room to.

Roger will be great for williams and gives him more flexability. He has the physical tools to be used to blitz and create pressure on the QB. And he'll actually listen to Williams and fit into his system..

And as a side note...its getting hard to fit all my canes on my icon

With what? Saying that, we'll probably draft a K with our next pick.

[RedskinPete]

Wow I hope he was worth three picks! Now what the trade was was giving each other 2nd rounders this year. What the Jets got was our 07 2nd rounder and this years 6th rounder[189]. Not a real big cost but I just hate to give up that second rounder in 07!!! If he turns out to be a starter and the LB that Arrington was not we hit pay dirt. But if he is a so so player not good at all!!!
