Wow, I had no idea. Where did you play?

I wouldn't call ARE a disappointment- we definitely overpaid for him but most knew that from the beginning.

BTW- the same argument was made for Chris Wienke. "You don't start at FSU if you're no good". Obviously a lot of GMs in this league agree with me that Booty is overrated.

Even if it doesn't work out, so what, it only cost us a 6th pick. We took Palmer not too long ago and he's already gone. This won't hurt us at all, but I think it has the potential to be a good pick in the future. Brennan is better than you think he is.

Well with Collins being 36 or 37 I was hoping that we'd bring someone in that could take over the #2 in a year or two. Booty ran a real pro offense and ran it pretty damn well everytime I saw him play. Brennan ran a gimmick offense that doesn't work against legit teams. See Georgia. But I hear what your saying. No real risk here. I just wish we'd have taken a guy that has starting potential a few years down the road.

Lionel Dalton Dt arizonia would be nice value here.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

are darrell robertson and josh barrett on the board?

WTF

Erin Henderson would be a sweet 7th round pick-up.

[AlvinWalton'sNeckBrace]

there are going to be some pretty good free agents too...we're looking for depth at the remaining positions of need anyway

Harding University in Searcy, Arkansas.

Is there some place where one can go to see which players are still available at each position?

I hope we get him too but I doubt Vinny is sticking to his board so we'll see.

I'm not saying he's polished, nor is he NFL ready...but some coaching and some clip board carrying will do this kid wonders.

You need to ask yourself why Zorn was so high on him, and considering Zorn is a former QB, he obviously sees something some of us don't.

I think mauiredskinbarn (or whatever his name is) would probably differ. Why did you play football if you were 2nd team all-american at soccer? Did you get a chance to play to soccer in college too?

Meanwhile, Kyle Busch wins today at Talladega giving Joe Gibbs Racing a Sprint Cup win. This after Tony Stewart won the Nationwide race yesterday.

Good weekend overall for Redskins past, present, and future

Ok, now back to the draft

[SBXVII]

never mind I found it on the nfl draft site.

[Mattyk72]

I'm not a big fan of the Brennan pick at all. I think there were other guys that would have been a better fit. I'll be really surprised if Brennan develops into a quality player. The run and shoot guys rarely carry over well to the pros. Does anyone know of anybody that actually turned into a good pro??
