Redskins Showing Interest in Kentucky DE Jeremy Jarmon

[SmootSmack]

We talked about him a few weeks ago, here's some more recent news

UK's Jarmon attracts 18 NFL teams to workout | KentuckySports.com

I don't know much about him personally. Is he worth a flyer? How high of a pick is he worth?

After signing Haynesworth and drafting Orakpo, you would think Redskins are done with D-line.. If it wouldn't cost us a high round, then I wouldn't complain I guess.. After all, more than half of the league checked him out..

If we try to accquire Jarmon, then does this mean Redskins seems to be set on playing Orakpo as LB?

Same as Mattyk72.

Depending on the pick we give I wouldn't getting him. He's a little small (6'3 277) but he was named All-SEC (first team) by Rivals.com (2007)
All-SEC (second team) by SEC coaches (2007)
Univ Kentucky Co-Most Outstanding Defensive Player (2007) so he has some talent.

Here is a good description of how the supplemental draft works from the article

The supplemental draft is done via e-mail. Each team submits to the league the names of the players they are interested in, as well as the round of the supplemental draft they would like to choose them in. The team that submits the highest bid is awarded rights to the player. If more than one team bids a pick from the same round, the team with the highest pick in the round wins out. If a team uses a pick in the supplemental draft, they must forfeit their choice in the corresponding round of the next year's regular draft.

I believe he was 3rd on Kentucky's career sack list also after his junior year. Vinny likes him so.........if we could get him for a 6th, I'd say go for it, but he will probably go higher considering he had a good workout. Great sophmore year. Not so good junior year.

That's how I see it. 18 teams went to his workout so there's probably a higher bidder than us, but it could happen that we get him in the 6th or 7th.

I'd consider giving up a 5th, especially the way we draft late in rounds. I'd rather have this guy than Cody Glenn. Other than a few exceptions we haven't drafted that well past the 3rd. Not that other teams are much better and I do think we've been doing better lately, but it still feels like we miss more than other teams.
2005
4. Manuel White, FB, UCLA (120th overall)
5. Robert McCune, ILB, Louisville (154th overall)
6. Jared Newberry, OLB, Stanford (183rd overall)
7. Nehemiah Broughton, FB, The Citadel (222nd overall)
2004
5. Mark Wilson, OT, California - 151st overall
6. Jim Molinaro, OT, Notre Dame - 180th overall
2003
7. Gibran Hamdan, QB, Indiana - 232nd overall

Huh? That's about the prototypical size for a DE coming out of college. Anywhere in the 270 and above range is not small for a college DE.

Orakpo at 260 is a little small for DE.

[skinsnut]

Too bad he doesn't play RT or LB.
But I guess you'd argue a 5th rounder aint gunna get you a talented OT or LB anyways.
I say, throw in a 5th...why not?...I've never heard of the guy...hey...why not hire me as the Skins GM while you're at it?

The height not the weight. If you read my first post, I said "small" referring to his height. My bad for not making that clear enough for you.

The only thing I don't want to do is give up draft picks like they don't mean anything. If nothing else, they can always be used to help move up in the draft. Vinny likes him so there's a chance we'll go after him. Just be reasonable about it.

Jarmon considered leaving after his junior season, applying to the NFL Advisory Committee and receiving a fourth- to fifth-round grade

I've seen folks mentioning anything from a 3rd -5th rounder for this guy...he will probably go with a 5th or a 4th to a desperate team, which we are not.
No way someone gives up a 3rd for this guy...I sure hope we don't....a 5th..maybe...but then who do you cut?

I suppose we should ask ourselves what round pick would make the fanbase have another one of those Vinny is a complete freakin moron reactions!

My bet is a 4th round pck would be really testing the integrity of the dam and a 3rd rounder would unleash the beast.
