I realize the question "what else is he going to say?" applies, but this quote was perfect to me. It has confidence, completeness, and yet lacked smugness and pompousness.

looking online at him, really liking the pick, and the draft!

LIAR!!! CUT THIS MAN! We're now looking for high character guys. Not bold faced liars. Send a message Shanny.

Competitiveness/ Toughness - 2 - Shows good toughness as a receiver. Not afraid to work the middle and frequently makes tough catches in traffic. Very competitive. Not as physical as a blocker. Needs to improve effort and attention to detail in that area.

1 = EXCEPTIONAL2 = ABOVE AVERAGE3 = AVERAGE4 = BELOW AVERAGE5 = MARGINAL

I'm stoked about this years draft so far. Even if the picks don't pan out, I'm thrilled at the philosophy taken from our front office. It's a far cry from not having picks or trading picks away to move up and get a guy that ends up a scrub.

Hey, we have to add as many players as we can this year so we can trade our entire draft next year for Luck

After Day 2 I'll go with an A-. The - only because I thought there were better NT's available (Austin, Ellis, Paea) but like someone said, Bowers racked up 15 sacks so Jenkins was collapsing the pocket and drawing double teams. Hankerson was an total steal, SHOCKED he made it all the way to #79. Most gave him a 2nd round grade and some (even Prisco) gave him a 1st. Not to mention trading back to now have at least 1 pick in the last 4 rounds is something Vinny would've never done. We still need an OT, ILB, QB, CB, but I can sleep in peace knowing we filled needs at value spots.

That's not fair. Vinny traded back frequently. The difference is Vinny would screw it up.

Still I think Snyder should have set up Vinny watching the draft on hidden camera as retribution for all those crappy drafts and explanations.

"NO A LEFT TACKLE! What are you doing. Chris Samuels is young!"

"Another OLB! At least take a corner"

"That guys to fat to play football."

"You should have taken that reciever earlier. Now he'll have no confidence."

I don't love the Kerrigan pick. I hope he turns out for us, but the 2nd round seems great to me. Hankerson was a great pick, IMO. Lots of value and a position of need. Hopefully that DT can play NT.

I love that we're getting a lot of picks/players out of this draft. To me, that's huge. 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th round picks will make up most of your team. This is where you get the OL, RB, and DL type players that your team is based on!

Good stuff, enjoying this draft immensely

We do what NE does we get bad mouthed, we have the possibilty of becoming one of the youngest teams.

For real.

[CRedskinsRule]

Just pointing out we still have 10 picks left. Tomorrow shouldn't be boring!

[sdskinsfan2001]

Tomorrow is going to be a big day for the Redskins. I want us to get Stanzi and i think it would be worth trading several picks if thats what it takes.

Devlin
Rogers
Maehl

We OWN tomorrow. Starting late in the 4th we will be picking often all day. It will be weird, given Redskins history.

This is what you should do if you're a team that has lots of needs, needs to get younger, and is trying to REBUILD.

We never use the R word around here--we're always "one player away" blah, blah, blah. This was a draft by a team that finally seems to realize they need fresh, young players.

We've got a ton of picks left--now the odds of one or two panning out are higher. And I like the picks today--obviously, we can argue for ever about scouting, but there we're no real bonehead picks. Can't ask for much more, and given our history, this is a big change.
