nice nice, just caught that as well and was coming to see if it had been posted

Re: Redskins signing rookie class of 2009
 

Im really just anticipating the signing of Orakpo and Barnes.

Re: Redskins signing rookie class of 2009
 

Is anyone else excited about Marko Mitchell? I like his production and it seems that he has all of the measurables.

Mitchell a bit raw but he has a good size to speed combo. I am worried that he played against weak competion, but I think he can develope into a quality player.

Late round players commonly get signed right around OTA's. I expect Barnes and Orakpo to sign at some point in mid to late July. Maybe a bit earlier for Barnes.

Same here. He has potential. Can't wait to see him in the preseason.

Re: Redskins signing rookie class of 2009
 

Lets hope we get more production from this years Rookie draft class than last season. We know Orakpo and Barnes should see the field this season but what other Rookie will surprises us like Chris Horton did last year? Maybe it will be one of the Rookie LBers we drafted since we don't have a for sure starting SLB as of yet.

Marko Mitchell has no shot at making the 53 man roster. he at best will be a practice squad player this season. Unless we have a injury in camp or they trade ARE. If we keep 5 WR it will be Moss, ARE, Thomas, Kelly,and Roydell Williams (Titans). Thats my educated guess.

Re: Redskins signing rookie class of 2009
 

I can see Marko makin the team.

I tend to agree. He's a practice squad guy unless we keep 6 WR which I doubt will happen.

It's going to be interesting. We saw last year that Vinny doesn't like cutting his draft picks so he may not cut him. I think unless Williams is terrible in camp he will earn the #5 spot and Mitchell will be a practice squad guy but you never know with VC.

Re: Redskins signing rookie class of 2009
 

Keep signing players who won't even make the team!!!! Nice work
