Or fall further back and get a Tackle in the 28-40 range. Maybe Betts has a few more miles left on him and he can learn not to fumble. We really need to work him in more consistently and effectively.

And I didn't necessarily understand the need for two LBs to be drafted, when we added Thomas and are talking about moving Wilson there anyway.

Well I think it's clear we tried to upgrade our depth and special teams. Seems to em that we follow BPA religiously after Rnd. 3.

C. Glenn sounds like a guy that they really wanted & feared that he would get nabbed before their pick in the 6th. He sounds like a good athlete w/great speed for LB.

I was initially upset w/this pick & the Henson pick considering the OL names available. But as I read about Glenn, I can see how he might be just as much a risk as Duke Robinson. Plus, a LB can play on teams immediately & O linemen can't do much in that area.

Great point about special teams

Don't worry Mr. Ruhskins, I am not planning on quitting my job and becoming a scout or whatever it is you are inferring. Yep, I would have preferred us taking Duke Robinson (OG) instead of Henson (LB) and I do consider the 3rd, 4th and 5th round picks as part of the total grade. I might be wrong and totally offbase and I apologise, but there is no need to add in sniping or sarcastic remarks.

Glenn only played one year at LB, I don't think anyone can really judge his potential based on one year of learning a defensive system. He has great athleticism, the question is really whether he can get down the mental part of the defense. I'm not going to complain about this pick until I see what happens. It's a risky pick, but one that has some significant upside if he works out.

Yeah, I'll take back my comment. Being around all the talent on the defensive side of the ball, he will find a mentor and will excel. I have a feeling he may be the new Ade Jimoh.

Ade wouldn't lie.

YOU GOT THAT RIGHT!

THE ADE is an honorable man.

(BTW - if we had picked up Duke in the 5th, this might have been one of the best drafts ever. I would have been happy to have picked up Duke at the end of the 1st. I couldn't believe he was still there in the 5th. Does anyone know why he dropped so far so fast?)

They were using the same draft board as the Vinny Cerrato and company. You know the one that had Cody Glen rated ahead of Duke Robinson.

THANK YOU!! I was scared my Petey Jones comment had gone unnoticed.

I thought it was funny. Redskins Draft HQ was at TC Williams.

Now I want to know what he really did? It can't be good. He would have just told the truth if he wanted to come clean and move on.

I was scratching my head as soon as we made this pick. Then I went and read the scouting report and kept scratching my head. Now I'm reading this, and I fear I may scratch a hole in my skull.

You don't want your 5th round pick in the news for the wrong reasons just two days after you pick him. Sheesh.
