If Fleener is available, I'd approve of a trade back to get him.

I guess it is finally time to get on twitter.

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

After watching the draft, heres some thoughts;

I'm pissed that my 3 least favorite teams in the league got great players

Dallas - Claiborne
Steelers- DeCastro
New England- Hightower and Chandler jones; although I don't see why they needed hightower with spikes and mayo there.

Seattle reached BIG time, like worse than the Raiders did with Heyward Bey

Don't understand Shea McCleallin to the bears, he's more of a 3-4 LB than DE, but whatever.

The Rams got screwed.
So did the Bucs.

Ravens got no one, and they really should get Upshaw, who I think is the best OLB in the draft.

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

I bet we could package a three and a four to get back into the second if they see a player they have to have.

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

yea, this is where things are going to get exciting and unpredictable. we knew we were getting rg3 or luck weeks ago when we made the trade. now its time for bruce and shanahan to shine, i could see us going back into the second but only for someone we really really want. All the rumors and names will fly around but nobody knows but our FO whats going on, we can speculate all me want thats the fun part. This is where the fun starts and i have confidence in our FO.

Pats need the depth, if nothing else. Besides, their offense is practically "complete" as its going to be.

Thats what we were thinking haha

methinks the RG3 avatars probably need to be resized a bit ;) at least it was a fast 1st round.

Jonathan Martin would be a nice pick if they make this move.

[QUOTE=skinsnut;912297]I hope he ditches those freaky dreadlocks....he looks like bob marley

But he sure aint as ugly as Luck....gotta love that nose!

Whew...dodged a bullet looking at that mug for a decade!

Good thing these guys wear helmets![/QUOTE]



They aren't dreads, they are braids.

Re: 2012 Redskins Draft Day Thread: Round 1
 

I would like to think the Dallas and Eagle moves were reactions to Griffin, but we should have seen this coming, right? Philly is going to have a wicked pass rush this year...the oline needs to improve markedly. Hopefully Griffin provides ample motivation for our trench guys to be there best!!

Why would we do that? We need every pick we have to fill the holes in our roster. We have to hit on our lower rd picks. No more giving up draft picks for a while.

Welcome to Redskins Nation RGIII we are all praying for you to stay healthy and lead our team back to being contenders in the NFC again. HTTR

Pretty awesome first interview! Opening up by singing HTTR! Classic first statement to redskins nation.

[quote=GMScud;912263]Chandler Jones could be a great 3-4 OLB for NE.

And Colt McCoy just lost his starting job.[/quote]

Hightower might bre better. Really rare player that can play OLB and ILB.
