Well Robinson and Meridith are gone, I would have wanted them, but I'm amazed the fell down this far.

Luckily the Skins have solid depth on the o-line. Didn't need those guys!

and so let the weeping and gnashing of teeth begin; woe to those who wanted an OL guy.

Eh, it's the 5th round. As much as I wanted Meridith or Robinson, they must have slipped down for a reason. I hope they picked up another o-lineman in post draft free agency. They still got Orakpo and didn't mortgage the future on Sanchez. I'm happy.

A LB who's bio says he isn't a hard hitter. Shit, what a pisser. We should have traded all of our lower round picks to get a 2nd rounder so at least we would have at least received 2 future starters. This class truly is very thin.

Sorry Ruhskins, I just piggybacked off of your post. But there are several who may come back saying how awful the this is because Meredith/Robinson are both gone

We still have 3 more picks. Let's see what happens.

Well people are always going to complain no matter what, I was merely responding to those folks.

I am not really complaining that much, just wish Glenn would have been known as a heavy hitter coming out of the Big 12. Those guys are known for laying the licks on ya!!!!! We really need to find 2-3 starters out of this draft and the class is well really thin past round 2.

Orakpo and Barnes, those are your starters.

I know Orakpo for sure, probably Barnes also. I will give this draft an A overall if we can land a diamond in the rough for the O line.

I think that finding three starters if awfully optimistic given our lack of high-round picks.

Maybe, but shit we have 2 more picks, plus this LB out of Nebraska. If one out of the 3 is a gamer, we will be in good shape. That is why I think we should have thought about trading the lower round picks this season for one more 2nd rounder for 2010. This class is pretty thin, but who know, maybe we can luck out and get a true diamond in the rough still.

I shouldn't be that pissed, at least they got a position that we needed. The bio says he is athletic, but can be overly aggressive and isn't the heaviest hitter.

That Oher special gave me some buyer's remorse. I wish he were a Redskin...so much potential and character.
