The Official Draft Thread

[Ghost]

Wasn't Chris Cooley on the short list of draft prospects who came to Redskin Park? This was all part of Gibbs' plan, I think.

[SKINSnCANES]

haha, my girlfriend keeps gettign mad because shes tired of seeing that commericla. So I agree, its getting old.

[SKINSnCANES]

it looks like it was a target, we probably took him earlier then he would have gone otherwise, but if Gibbs thinks he could be his man then ill trust him.

Yeah, someone on another board said he had a private workout with the team.

Atlanta took Matt Schuab? WHy? They have Vick. From a UVA fans point of view, this sucks.

let's face it, schaub wasn't gonna get any chances to be a starting qb anytime soon and with vick not really being a qb who can take a lot of hits, they wanted someone with good accuracy and football smarts to be his backup. sure I'd have preferred he had a chance to go to a team where he'd have the opportunity to play in a couple years, but it's not like he's going to a bad team.

i had put up a post about him after i'd read a story on the washington post where gibbs had mentioned cooley by name being able to draft somewhere in the 3rd to 4th round range. i hope it was worth our 2nd round pick next year though. that's all i'm worried about.

Didn't you know? Their GM is a VTech alum. He wanted to make sure no UVA QB ever got a starting assigment in the league and takes particular pleasure in putting Shaub behind a VTech QB. Face it, UVA just ain't got the stuff.

Character issues are always the knock on Miami guys.

Uhm, Vick can't take hits? The dude get's leveled fairly often. Only time I remember him going out with injury was the practically season ending injury in pre-season last year.

he had a shoulder injury the year before and he had ankle injuries at tech as well as chest problems too i think or that may have been at the same time he had his shoulder injury with atlanta. plus i've heard mortenson or someone on espn talk about vick still expiriencing discomfort with his leg.

Jacksonville gets Earnest Wilford from Va Tech in round four. I like that pick.. he seems like a really good kid.

he was a pretty solid player for va tech. the only time he got too full of himself that i know of is when he said something along the lines that he was as good as, if not better than, larry fitzgerald, and it was because he wasn't in a more pass oriented offense that he didn't have similar stats and press.

Guys there are 10 more picks till were up for our 5th rounder, in my opinion the two best prospects still on the board are NIck Leckey C from kansas state and Jason Peters that massive blocking tightend.
Did I mension that trade to get Cooley was probably the dumbest trade ever. More on that later.

[Hail to the Redskins]

Damn...

Dave Ball and Chad Lavalais both JUST went off the board here in the 5th round...

Both were projected 2nd-3rd rounders.... they could have been a GREAT steal for us here in thwe 5th... DAMN IT!
