NFL Draft Day 2: Predictions

SirClintonPortis

The draft is a way to gain assets. However, successful acquisition of said assets is haphazard and can only be partially controlled. If there's another nice depth pass-rusher they just love, they'll take him.

Not only that, but our ILB situation is in a precarious position depth-wish.

Anyway, I was just throwing stuff and the wall and seeing if it sticks, because I have no faith in mocks predicting picks outside of the top 5 or so of the draft.

Mallett will be there when we pick at #41...and probably #49. But I've never viewed him as a scheme fit for this offense. I would imagine that Stanzi is higher on our board...the only QB who will get real consideration from the Redskins at #49.

Yeah, because there's all this evidence out there that he was a pot smoking coke head... yup... Come on man, don't you think if he was doing all that crap a picture or something would have showed up by now? I'm not suggesting that Mallett will be the second coming of Peyton Manning, but I'm damn near positive that he will in now way be the next Ryan Leaf.

I wasn't a fan of his and I'm not sure I want him as a Redskin, but the more baseless crap that gets spewed about him the more I'd love to see him succeed. Good luck Ryan.

Ryan Mallett is not being picked first overall. Unless that was happening I don't get the Leaf comparisons.

I understand the fact that he's not going #1 but there are a lot of people that claim he's Ryan Leaf waiting to happen, that that is the type of player that someone will be getting. I don't see it, but I reckon it's possible. My statement wasn't one of draft position as much as it was a comparison of perceived risk. So in that aspect, the Leaf comparison is quite accurate.

Son Of Man

Paea at #41

Greg Little at #49 (or trade)

After last night, I trust the FO to do what's right here on out.

Ryan Leaf failed because, according to him, "When playing football became a job, it lost its luster for me."
Essentially, he hated his job, just like the workers in the movie Office Space.

True, but Leaf was a HUGE bust because he was being hyped as a franchise QB worth of the #1 overall. I could be wrong, but how many times do you hear someone refer a 2nd rounder that didn't work out as a huge bust? Is like comparing Devin Thomas with any of the first round WR busts that the Lions picked under Matt Millen.

Paea has played in the Pac-10 against some really good teams, Ellis has played in a smaller conference and we don't know how good he can be. Paea is a beast and I would love to call him the "Angry Samoan" even though he's Tongan.

SFREDSKINS, are his knee issues a concern at all? He could be a poor man's Ngata.

Wait a minute... I think we are actually on the same page. I don't see him as being a bad pick at all in the second round but I still think you will hear some bust talk just because he was a high profile qb prospect coming into the draft. At this point, I kinda think the risk/reward has evened out or even moved into the reward being greater than risk side.

SFREDSKIN

As far as I know he's fine, this guy can manhandle people.
