Can't wait until Jason Reid goes on the radio to sh*t on the Redskins pick.

I've seen comparisons to Justin Tuck

Yup, thats what I meant. He isn't gonna play NT much in the NFL, but if you need a rush from that spot, he is big enough.

his 10/20/40 and broad jump same as orakpo. less reps/vertical, better shuttle/3cone.

i imagine the thought is he'll be put into that olb slot if he's up to it.

He can play any position on the DL.

i need to hear where they plan to use him later tonight. i don't think you'd ask him to play NT though at 270, at least not on 1st and 2nd down.

for bpa we do seem to be picking needs pretty heavily. maybe that's just how things have worked out, but so far we've filled the gaping hole at RT and orakpo's hole at OLB. 3rd might be RG or FS (or 3rd down back)?

That's because drafting BPA is a fantasy. It rarely happens in the first three rounds. This draft has proven that fact with need pick after need pick.

Or our BPA have been needs also.

Scherff was rated number 3 by Scot as far as BPA behind Cooper and Fowler, both gone, Scherff was the pick. I can only imagine that Smith was the same

BTW Smith reminds me a lot of Pernell McPhee, I think that could be his floor.

A month ago, Williams was touted as a perennial all pro.

A month ago, Fowler was the 3rd or 4th ranked edge rusher in the draft depending on which site you followed.

Last night, Williams wasn't even the first defensive player taken.

Fowler didn't suddenly improve his skill set over the last four weeks in order to get picked above the next JJ Watt.

It's not like Madden where you get to see all the tidy ratings in whole numbers and can rate and prioritize based on preference. (Strength 89, Agility 91, Smarts 95)

McLovin and company have interviewed, researched, and studied all of these guys. He has consistently said he looks at intangibles like love of the game, character, work ethic, and maturity.

With these components factored in, who says he didn't draft the best player available?

Not trying to be a smartass, but how do you know who's BPA? Our rankings or any other pundits don't mean jack shit in the grand scheme of things. It matters what Scott's board says.

But I think what KI is saying is that there seem to be alot of need picks and it would be incredibly coincidental if the cards were just falling that way, and BPA kept filling needs.

Wow identical...my initial thought was really wrong. Seems on tape he just doesn't seem like an olb, lacks speed and his body seems more as a leverage dline type. He just looked bigger on film, closer to 300 lbs. didn't know that small...I'm excited McC is all about the trenches. This team dynamic is gonna be a 180 on defense from the last 9-10 years
