My thoughts on draft:

We got two definite starters, Young and Saahdiq Charles.

Ismael adds interesting depth to the Oline. He could even be a starter down the line. Excellent value for a 5th round pick.

Hudson could contribute to special teams and also be part of a "third and twelve" defensive package where coverage against pass is needed.

The 6th and 7th rounders are a waste.

To me the difference between a good draft, which I currently think we have, and an excellent draft is going to be Gibson and Golden. Taking two "play makers" from secondary and, in Golden's case, tertiary college programs is like drawing on an inside straight. It might work but the odds are not with you. Gibson at least played for a top 25 program and he has that unique asset, speed. Because of his speed and versatility I can see where he can help spread opposing defenses. Golden to me is the biggest problem mainly because he is a "big bodied" receiver who did not play in a "big bodied" league. A look at Liberty's schedule show that they did not play teams that would have had big bodied defensive backs like he is going to see in the NFL. The fact that he could overpower the defensive backs from Buffalo, Rutgers and New Mexico State does not strongly suggest he will be able to dominate NFL Defensive backs. So I think it is a very open question as to whether his "big bodied" skill set will transfer to the NFL. To me the Skins would have been wise to add KJ Hill in the 6th or 7th round to give them additional depth at WR rather than the 2 non-entities they chose in those rounds.

They also scored a plus by adding Moss as a UFA signing.

Overall I think they did a pretty good job. B+ as a grade. I would have given them an A if they added KJ Hill in the 6th or 7th round as a backup to Golden in case Golden does not prove successful at the NFL level.
