Re: Redskins Insider: Draft Review

I'd like to see some evidence that Malcolm Kelly was falling down others teams' draft boards. Somehow I don't think he would have lasted much longer than where we picked him. As for La Canfora's point of a 'self-fulfilling prophecy', all teams have their own draft boards and they rank players where they think they should be. Sometimes they're wrong, sometimes they're right.

Some of you know that I've been very critical of Cerrato and Snyder over the years, but based on the pre-draft information available to everyone leading up to Saturday, it looks like we got some top-rated guys much later than they were expected to go. And when you can pick up extra selections in the process, then I must give credit where credit is due and say bravo to Vinny.

I also like the mentality of restocking the wideout department. I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if both Moss and Randle El aren't here in 2009 unless cap constraints make it impossible for that to happen. But just like any other draft, you can't possibly address all your needs on one April weekend.

This offense simply doesn't score enough points. Overhauling the receivers was something this team was going to have to do at some point. They will have to rebuild the foundation of the offensive line too, no doubt. But it's not like it's falling apart before our eyes. If these guys can get us into the endzone more often this season, nobody will be complaining.
