A healthy Davis and this guy could be, like some else said a matchup nightmare.

I like it

I think this also shows Fred his time here is short. Reed is faster than Davis, and doesn't have that achilles injury that'll hamper his speed. The writing is definitely on the wall. Fred's last year here.

I could see Paul being gone if Davis is close to healthy.

Honesty I would have rather had Terrance Williams if he fell to is there, but oh we'll.

I didn't watch the draft; is Phillip Thomas still available?

Yeah i didnt get to watch. I was surprised too but hell with davis's injury/issues - and who else - obviously cooley doesnt have it and paulsen is just a stop gap - so what the hell if this guy can be a safety valve for Griff than thats great. I want ray ray armstrong tomorrow. Dude was a beast at miami and is completely flying under the radar.

If he hasn't already been taken I'd love to see us get Ryan Swopes. Good size, speed and really good blocker. Works well with running QB's. I'd expect him to rotate with Santana to keep him fresh throughout the season and replace him in the slot after this coming season.

Why get rid of Davis? If you do that, you will have to draft another TE in the near future. Niles Paul isn't a real TE, and Cooley was just brought back as an emergency. I made the comment about CC, because this is probably it for him. For the better part of the decade, Chris was one of the few consistent bright spots for us.

WAY overrated; I'll be very dissapointed if we pick him in the 4th. Rambo or Williams are better players and better fits for us IMO.

Whoever gets Phillip Thomas is one lucky team. With him and Amerson, our secondary would go from one of the worst to the best. Not hating on Rambo, Williams, or Shamarko, but I definitely want Thomas.

Feeling really good about tonight's picks. I know everyone is clamoring for a safety or another CB other than Amerson. However, we drafted some crazy athletes tonight. Kipeer said it best, Amerson had a bad year last year and he had 5 picks. Good luck for linebackers and safeties having to cover both Davis and Reeds. Shanny put on a draft clinic tonight...you never reach for need...BPA is the way to go. Oh yeah an I get all of the ranking systems for prospects but Am person was without a doubt best CB just Twp years ago and would have easily been a top 15 pick in last years draft...and we got him at pick 51....Draft so far is an A for me!!

You're just trollin'. Have you even watched Thomas play? Have you looked at his stats? He's incredible.

Very possible that the #Redskins will carry 4 TE's on the roster. Did a few years ago Cooley-Davis-Sellers-Paulsen. One would also b/u at FB

the problem is that darrel young is legit and that its hard enough to find him enough playing time as it is. considering cooley doesnt want to play for anyone else but the skins, his playing career is over. i think the biggest concern should be that theres a chance paulsen and paul will be given an equal chance to battle it out in training camp, when everyone knows paul should just be cut loose. what do you do if paul has the special teams edge over paulsen?

2013:
davis
paulsen or paul
reed

d young

Phillip Thomas is stiff in coverage. He looks like Chris Horton to me.

I have watched his film and I'm not impressed. Is he the worst FS? No but he is a mediocre tackler and played in a pretty weak conference. If Thomas is that "incredible" why is he still available after 99 picks?

Huge value and solid insurance for Fred. Forget insurance, there's a 1-2 punch and another weapon for RGIII.

I'm excited about Amerson too. We can move Hall to FS where he'll excel as a ballhawk and not get burnt. Amerson has size and a nose for the ball.

Great picks so far!

How is Phillip Thomas overrated if he was never mentioned with the elites in the draft?

Doesnt the same apply to Rambo or Williams?

Last I checked, everyone picked after 99 is, in fact, picked after 99...
