Wow, someone only looked at draft positions:

Fox Sports gives the 'Skins a 'C'

After all the quarterback talk and trading-up possibilities, the Redskins were patient and had Texas DE Brian Orakpo fall into their lap with the 13th overall pick. Orakpo had some nicks, but some teams thought he was the draft's best edge pass rusher.

The Redskins traded out of the second round and made a local pick in the third round with Maryland cornerback Kevin Barnes, who started 21 games and can be either a zone or man-cover cornerback. Nebraska LB Cody Glenn was suspended for his final three games and was ranked the 34th overall linebacker in the draft. Grade: C

Good job not realizing where that pick came from, Fox Sports, but it's Fox.. do you really expect them to research what they spew?

Sporting News:

Washington Redskins: D-minus

This team had an anemic pass rush, and end Brian Orakpo could change that. A lack of picks made it hard to address other needs. Their big move came in free agency, the signing of defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth.

So what are they giving us a D- for? For not having many picks? I thought that grading would come on what you did with what you have, oh well.
