Re: Compensatory picks are in

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

Wooooooot!

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

More picks to trade away I guess.

Why are you on this site again? Troll...

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

That's big. 4 picks in the first 3 rounds.

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

This is EXCELLENT news! Let's make the most of these picks and build up some much-needed depth and find some future Burgundy & Gold legends.

Just ignore him. All he wants is attention.

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

I can hear a 2008 Super bowl win for the Skins :D

Could this be a sign that we are going to get Marcus Monk?

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

That is great news...does anyone know how many picks we now have in total?

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

[quote=sbaughone;435938]That is great news...does anyone know how many picks we now have in total?[/quote]

That's 9.
one 1st, one 2nd, two 3rd, one 5th, one 6th, three 7th

First, props to the poster who found that site that predicted this outcome. Also, I'll be happy if we get 2-3 starters out of this draft and a decent backup or two. I can't wait until draft day!

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

<<That's 9. one 1st, one 2nd, two 3rd, one 5th, one 6th, three 7th>>

For some reason I thought we didn't have a #2...can anyone confirm???

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

wow, a complete draft... it seems to good to be true.

i'll really have to wait until we've actually DRAFTED 9 players before i can allow myself to get excited about this.... i've been hurt too many times.

9 picks, wow thats a nice change of pace. good thing we have some cap room by not signing free agents

Compensatory picks - the new Redskins off season acquisitions!

A team cannot trade compensatory picks.

Get someone to read it to you.

Go away

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

I would still love it if they could swing a deal w/Atl. to pick up 2 2nd rounders for our 1st. That would be 10 picks w/5 in the first 3 rounds.

Why is he here anyway? why don't he and the Cowboy fan start there own site together , and irritate each other and leave us Great Redskins fans alone.

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

Who's going to be best available at that number 96 spot?

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

We have a second round pick, but no 4th. The extra 3rd round pick is great news.

[QUOTE=KB24;435933]This is EXCELLENT news! Let's make the most of these picks and build up some much-needed depth and find some future Burgundy & Gold legends.[/QUOTE]

I can't agree with this more. It's a real treat to have a ton of picks...for a change.

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

Let's hope we do a little better than the last time we had this many picks:

2002
1(32) Patrick Ramsey
2(56) Ladell Betts
3(79) Rashad Bauman (CB)
3(87) Cliff Russell (WR)
5(159) Andre Lott (DB)
5(160) Robert Royal
6(192) Reggie Coleman (OT)
7(230) Jeff Grau (TE)
7(234) Greg Scott - (DE)
7(257) Rock Cartwright

Since the 7 round draft began in 1994, we have had:
'94: 7 Picks, 4 in the first three rounds - 7(4)
95: 8 (3)
96: 6 (1) (The one high pick was Andre Johnson - Blecchh)(A Cerrato pick)
97: 8 (3)
98: 7 (2) - No First Rounder
99: 6 (2)
00: 8 (3) - Two First Rounders (Arrington, Samuels)
01: 5 (2)
02: 10(4) - See above
03: 3(2) - No First (T. Jacobs, D. Dockery, G. Hamdan)
04: 4(2) - (Cooley, Taylor)
05: 6(2) - Two Firsts (Rogers Campbell)
06: 6(1) - No First (McIntosh in the 2nd)
07: 5(1)


I hope we can get some good hits early. I don't know though - we haven't been overwhelmingly successful in the 2-3 rounds.

Aww C'Mon man! We just give this site "character" is all. You gotta have a least a [i]little[/i] contraversy to provide some flavor!

Honestly though, a third round draft pick is nothing to sneeze at. That should be a good spot.

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

One of those picks needs to be spent on Joe Flacco. I just finished watching all of Jason Campbell's passes this past season on my TIVO and I took some notes and noticed that he telegraphs his passes 65% of the time. I told you guys when we drafted him, he's not smart enough to be an NFL starting QB. Joe Flacco got a 27 on his Wonderlic.

Here's my mock

1-Calais Campbell
2-Chilo Rachal
3-Joe Flacco
3-We need offensive line help

If Gibbs wasn't so clueless and traded for Duckett we could have a 4th rounder too.

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

Thank you god, hopefully we won't waste picks on guys like Dallas Sartz.

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

Nice bonus. That extra third rounder could be very helpful. I think you can get something really good with that pick. And I'm not frowning on the extras in the seventh either. SWEET!

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

[QUOTE=SeanTaylor21;435984]Thank you god, hopefully we won't waste picks on guys like Dallas Sartz.[/QUOTE]

Correct. Hopefully we can do like every other team and draft all starters with every pick we have.

I google'd Jason Campbells wonderlic.....28.... very good IMO and a whole point higher than the BLUE HEN you mention

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

This is exceptionally good news.
Take it with a grain of salt though.
We essentially got the top choice in the 4th round.
The 7th rounders would have been undrafted.
Of course there is always an advantage with a pick vs undrafted though these folks are unlikely to stick.

It is entirely possible to get a starter with the high pick though!
That is wonderful!!

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

It is basically the first 4th round pick, but tell that to his agent.

I'm curious just how you told us how dumb JC was when we drafted him when your join date to this forum was March 2008? :doh:

I think someone else is clueless!

Because I had to rejoin the site after my username stopped working. But ask any of the mods here they know I've been around. I don't let them forget me :)

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

Why can't you ever just admit when you're wrong offiss, or offfiss, whatever your name is now? True, Campbell hasn't been phenomenal but he's been a lot better than you've ever given him credit for.

Anyway, this extra pick is great news for us. I hope, as the rest of us, that we can capitalize on it.

Re: Compensatory picks are in

Every other team is hardly that successful w/the draft. Often, not even half of draft picks make a team. If all draft picks made their teams every year there'd be hardly any vets around.

ouch, that 02 draft was rough. I remember hoping bauman & Lott would be good & of course that ramsey would be our starter for years. At least Ladell, Rock & Royal have been decent.

Wonder if that draft was more of the ole ball coach or vinny?

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

We now have enough picks to start the philosophical change that the will Make the Redskins a contender for years to come...not just a flash in the pants as in years past with our splash tactics of off has been free agents of years before.

I look forward to our return to glory!!!!

Re: Compensatory picks are in
 

Draft day will be a good day to look foreward too this year. When was the last time we had nine picks in any one draft? It is my hope we continue this trend, IMO it's the proper way to build the team for the future.

I'll be excited come draft day, way to go Skins!!
