Who would you rather have in round 5 - Cody Glenn or Jamon Meredith/Duke Robinson?

[RedNJ]

Duke Robinson...Great size and a workhorse in college. Him and Phil Loadholt dominated defenses at Oklahoma. Yes I know this isn't college but this pick would have obviously added depth. I hope Devon Clark and Chad Linehart get some playing time this season. What's the story with Pete Kendell? Does the team plan on resigning him?

Devin Clark and Chad Rinehart are slated to get a lot of reps in training camp and are expected to provide depth along the interior line. Pete Kendall is a free agent still looking for a starting job somewhere. Expect him to re-sign right before camp if he's not signed anywhere else.

I would have gone with Duke...but he fell down the draft board for some reason. It wasn't just the skins who were passing on him so it's hard to point any fingers at the Redskins for doing the same.

If we were going to draft a OLB in the 5th round, I wish we wouldn't have traded down and would have gotten Marcus Freeman...but since we did trade down, I would have gone with Duke Robinson

Ruhskins - don't mean to be critical starting a thread like this - I was just curious as to who Redskins fans would have rather have had with the 5th round pick between the lb they choose and the supposedly 2 best offensive linemen remaining on the board when they had the pick - thats all.

Personally I hope Glenn kicks ass and is a starter for years to come - I guess I just fear that our offensive line is not going to last too much longer and was hoping some draft picks in this area would start helping the team transition (over the next few years) and not get our qb killed in the process.

No worries man, sorry for being overly critical. It's just that I was posting a lot during the draft and this topic was discussed to death. I blame it on the Orakpo/Arrington thread. LOL.

Scarlett Johansson brings it. Excellent physical condition, good attitude, positive presence in the locker room.

Did you put on your Mel Kiper wig and glasses to post this thread? LOL.

Anyone besides Glenn I would've been fine with in the 5th and I think Meredeth can be RT in the future, but we can't change the pick so I just hope Glenn kicks ass.

Either duke or jamon which ever could play RT
Not Cody Glenn cause I've never heard of him

There that settles it, call the FO, tell them to fire the scout who brought this guy to our attention, and at the same time fire Vinny and JZ since they wasted their time talking to the coach, and did not inform nflnick of the potential they saw in Mr Glenn.

So your saying you liked this guy and you've heard of him?!?
This might sound weird, but have you ever been able to look at a players name and be like ya I couldn't see his name being called in the NFL when he's on the field..well I do that, and about 90% of the time I'm right about how I think will stay and who'll be gone and out of the league...yes i know its unfair and innaccurate judgement, but my point is that I don't see but two or three of these guys making an impact or sticking to the NFL, I also watch college football religiously and for the few Nebraska games I saw, I heard glenns name once, and that was when he is an RB...not at LB so I'm gonna call it now that this guy gets practiced squaded and is out of the league and a wasted pick.....and yes this guy over both of those tremendous OL that were still around at in the fifth is a stupid wasted pick...I heard NFL analysts always talk about merdith and Robinson, and not one talk about this guy..sure this is unfair since none of us had heard of fletcher or kurt warner when they were in college, and we didn't think they would make they're teams but beleive me this guy isn't worth taking over the others who I feel would of had a better NFL future than this chump...(and he already has a bigger mountain to climb because he lied about his suspension)

Fire mcshay hire me...you clearly don't get my point, the point is that this guy is a no name and the other two where names, this guy when he got drafted I'm sure pretty much all skin fans were like "who the hell is that" (same with eddie Williams, but that's another story) this guy wasn't even that productive in college, he won't stay on our team whereas one of those two guards probably would have...you know and I k ow this , your just trying to disprove my point

1st. You're ranting over a 5th round pick. Not all teams draft picks are going to be winners and each team has its own reasons for picking a player.

2nd. Robinson and Meridith were projected 2nd/3rd rounders, yet 30 teams passed on these guys until late in the 5th round.

3rd. I still think that if the team was going to address the offensive line, the sure thing would have been picking up Oher at 13th. They didn't, so let's not pretend that a 3rd, 5th, 6th, or 7th round would have fixed that.

I also remember NFL analysts talking about Cade McNown, Akili Smith, Tim Couch, and Robert Gallery. But, none talked about Tom Brady like that, and just to emphasize Ruhskin's point you are making it seem like MEreidth or Robinson would have come in from day one and made the pro bowl.

No I'm saying that they would of had a better chance of starting or playing a lot than this Glenn guy
