2012 NFL Draft (Day 2)

You're right the months of research has paid off on guys like Dennis Morris, Terrence Austin, and Selvish Capers. Why wouldn't I think every pick will pan out just like the FO hopes? I should never question Bruce & Co. If it weren't for them, I'd have to read draft magazines and look at draft websites. What a waste of time that would be. I could never get those few seconds back. I'm glad I have Bruce Almighty to base my opinions on.

Really like Martin, Masse, Kelemente and Dennard. LMAO on the Artie Lang thing!

Obviously, the Redskins thought that LeRibeus was going to be drafted before their next pick and they thought he was the best interior offensive lineman left.

All of this is not going to matter in the end as long as LeRibeus plays well. Just like any other draft pick, only time will tell.

After drafting griffin, depth along the line had to be our priority. Shanahan loves competition and he's giving our interior guys (none of whom are highly acclaimed) someone to worry about.

Lamar Miller should be there by our pick in the 4th.

I'd like Lamar Miller, but I'm only basing that off his Ohio State, VT, and FSU games. I haven't spent months researching and watching all his game tape, so I'll have to wait for Bruce & Co. to tell me how to think.

Honestly I feel like we didn't lose anything picking LeRibeus in the 3rd. I thought gaurd was a huge need for us Polk, Rainey and Thomas are still available tomorrow.

We actually gained a 7th rounder with the trade down.

Thats the general rule: If you like the guy you should take him. Your assumption that he will be there later may not come to pass: you don't know if he will be there later or not. You can ASSUME but you really don't know. If you like him and the next option available is significantly worse, then it is smarter to take him now while you can and accept the criticism for taking him "too early" vs. risking losing him because you knew he would be there later.
I agree but the gambler in me says throw the dice. I think to be a truly great GM you have to peek in your shorts on draft day to see if you have a pair.

I'm not saying you're wrong with questioning the redskins draft picks in this current regime, but comparing the LeRibeus pick to one 6th rounder and 2 7th rounders is not a proper comparison. Plus Terrence Austin, as a 7th rounder, has actually been a contributor to the the team.

Barring a trade, Lamar Miller is a possibility as everyone above the Skins except the Texans have drafted a RB this year.

I think CB will be the next pick.

Hell, the Skins got a C grade from Pete Prisco so he can't be that bad...That's like an A- at least :)
