I want to get a Guard or Center to but if Kendall Hunter (RB Oklahoma State) is there we just have to take him. This is a player where no one would have blinked at us taking him in the second round and now we can get him in the fourth. We missed out on Blount last year, I don't want to make the same mistake again.

NFL Draft 2011: Redskins take Jarvis Jenkins, trade three times on Day 2 - The Washington Post

“They told me they run a 3-4 defense under Mike Shanahan, and they told me I’m going to be a two-gap guy, and I can do that: two-gap or three,” Jenkins said. “I can get in and do whatever anybody asks me . . . I’m all about winning. I’ll sit there on two knees if that’s what they want me to do.”

How good it "could have been" if a certain player we all know had chosen to adopt that last line of mentality.

Almost every site I looked at had this guy as a top 10 prospect in his position. Saying he is a reach is laughable.

Umm, I'll bite.. how so? Top 10 in position doesn't mean you go 2nd round guaranteed.

[Alvin Walton]

It did in his case.

The second someone dislikes a pick they start screaming reach reach reach.
Whatever...you can apply that to almost any pick.

I don't know why but I miss the NFL Draft. Not just the build up where you talk about 5,000 scenarios but the actual broadcast. It surprises me to because after all those years of making clearly bad picks, culminating in the 2nd round disaster of 2008, you'd think I'd be more cautious

Yeah the draft is great, especially being a Redskin fan. It's a time for a renew in optimism and its easy for me to get excited with the "what ifs". That little seed of hope is planted. Then it is cruelly crushed half way through the season.

Great minds think alike.

And hey Gridiron, keep the thread on track. No one wants to hear about Jenkins ACL recovery in a thread about Jenkins. Go post it in the Meet the GOP Candidates thread where it belongs. Man I tell you, some people.

Lol this forum needs like button

^ well I mean seeing how we drafted this past year and our success, we should be excited for the draft. All 12 picks we drafted have played this year for us.

[That Guy]

well, all of vinny's picked "played for us" too... this year's cropped have played a lot better than that bunch though, for sure.
