Day 1 Draft Grade

B JC has some big weapons they may be raw but they have potential

I agree with the value of the picks. Trading down proved to be a good move.

Cp Is Going To Run Wild.our Redzone Problems Has Turned Into A Strength.give Us Some Depth For Defense And O Line And This Could Be The Best Draft The Skins Has Ever Had.the # 1 And 2 Wide Receiver And #1 Tight End Has That Ever Been Done?

"A" just because we didnt trade it away for CJ, and since we traded back to aquire more and still got really good value. I just really wish we used a high pick on the o line or for a DE, and didnt use a high pick for any TE.

I wish we traded down 2-3 spots to pick up Merling once he slide to the second round, I wonder how much that would have cost to do that.

A- we addressed some needs as far as playmakers

I give them a B....an A would be matching value and needs and a TE does not do that.

I like the TE....but getting Campbell when he was available was the obvious choice that I think they may regret....especially since we are going into the 5th round without picking any Dline help...I thought that was our greatest need.
We will have to get exceptionally lucky....hope there is someone who's falling because of injuries that will go away or something...
We need Dline help...and soon.

D-. Excellent trade by Cerrato. Brilliant even.

There's a 50% chance that 2 out the 3 players drafted today never starts a game for the Redskins. Davis is a good selection, but he's not going to beat out Cooley. Kelly should beat Thomas out, and he should replace ARE in the starting lineup by 2009. But how certain are we that Kelly will develop as expected.

The only thing we know about Kelly is that he's probably better than Devin Thomas. I'm not even sure he will ever develop into a quality starting receiver. We are making a leap of faith there, and hopefully we don't get spurned.

Regarding Thomas...at least Taylor Jacobs was a hard worker
You're really putting it out there on this Thomas thing. Most teams and analysts had this guy rated as the # 1 receiver, what do you know about him that they don't? How many hours of film have you watched breaking down the WR position at the NCAA & NFL level (I'll admit I have zero other than from a fan's perspective)? I understand the argument of "one year wonder", but if this guy turns into a solid NFL receiver your judgement will really be called into question.

I'll go C....I loved our first pick, but I just dont get why we didnt take a DE with 48 or 51...I mean what can you do, but seems like were not adressing that need

Agreed!

My first reaction to the 2nd and 3rd 2nd rounders, was:

1. Whaaaaaat?
2. Huuuuuuuh?
3. What were they thinking?
4. Three 2nd rounders, and we end up with this?
5. Where is the OL, or DL?
6. Where is that DE I've been pushing for for 13 years straight?
7. I don't get it!
8. Then I thought of 4 wide set with double TEs!
9. Then I thought of the Redzone!
10. I remembered the 8th ranked Defense!
11. Oh, yeah, I was always in the half of the class that made the top half possible, right there at C!

A - Because we got 3 1st round caliber players for 2nd round picks. Regardless of whether you think they'll pan out or not there is no denying that no one would have called picking these guys in the first round a reach.

Agreed!

Is that possible?
