Spending all summer practicing with Haynesworth/Griffin/Daniels/Carter and Orakpo, I don't have any doubts that our RT will be prepared for the season. Game day will be easy for our line.

[ChickenMonkey]

Definately a C-

No OT, OG and No Stud OLB

[Superman13732]

C - I believe Orakpo could become an perennial all-pro, in which case this drat is an A+. But the rest of the draft im not holding out much hope for. Maybe we can get win the lottery on something.

[tdSKINS1]

D for sure we don't need a TE/FB and the LB from Nebraska that played 9 games as a linebacker and missed the last 2 because of disicpline problems. What an awful pick

[Skins4L]

C+

Orakpo coule have been the best overall player in the draft. mark my words on that one... he has future savage DE all over him.

We didnt get that O-Line upgrade like we wanted... so, C-

but im sure theyll be somebody that will produce from our late round picks...

1- Brian Orakpo (DE)
3- Kevin Barnes (CB)
5- Cody Glenn (OLB)
6- Robert Henson (OLB)
7- Eddie Williams (TE/FB)
7- Marko Mitchell (WR)

I gvie it a C. LOVE Orakpo, love that we didn't go after Sanchez. Hate that we didn't upgrade the OL, and the Cody Glenn pick is a head scratcher.

Can't agree more. Love Orakpo ... hate that we didnt touch the offensive line... I just really dont understand it.

[BrunellMVP?]

D- only pick i like is the orkapo

[horny4zorny-nohomo]

B-
OL-In the presser Jim said the Redskins are going to "upgrade their new OLine."
DL-I personally think the D-Line is officially set.
WR-would be set if Mitchell+Devin&Kelly+Moss&EL combine to make a decent WR corp.
Secondary-SET
QB-???????????????????????????? Unless....JC pulls a rabbit out of his lip....or hat.
TE-SET
Return Specialist-Dorsey.......................Point Blank (SET)
Special Teams?????????????????????? Competition for both K and P

So we're set at return specialist b/c we have a guy who has never played a snap in the NFL?

Competition for punter? Did you sleep through the Hunter Smith signing this week?

C+ grade...Orakpo was a great twist of fortune, and depth at LB was needed but Orakpo can play LB also. O line should have been the 3rd round selection. We definitely didn't need another WR or TE right now. CB could have waited. We are set up well at that area for the year already. The front office has put all their eggs in the same basket, as for the O line, as last year. If we can't stay healthy, then we are in trouble and will have to shuffle players around which will mess up the chemistry of the Offense. We did acquire FA Williams as an O lineman but will it be enough? He can play G or T. Who will backup at C though? With many teams going to a 3-4 defense, the C will be getting beat up and we don't have an adequate backup on the depth charts. Most of my C+ grade is for the acquisition of Orakpo.

D-
Loved the Orakpo pick, the rest is not good.
Cody Glenn (OLB) and Robert Henson (OLB) better turn out to be good because there were several good OL left when we took these guys. I am very disappointed we could not take a Duke Robinson (taken 5th rd. pick 159) or Fenuki Tupou (taken 5th round, pick 159). Both were taken right after we took LB Cody Glenn. Cody Glenn? Really?

[theJBexperience]

C-

Orakpo was a solid 1st round pick. My only concern with him is durability, but I think our DL will be really tough now.

I don't like what we did on day two because I think we passed on some quality depth that was available again and again. I'm least upset about the Barnes and Mitchell picks. I like Barnes' physical play, and he looks like a guy who loves to play the game, but again, I don't like the injury history. He may be a bit gun shy too after tearing up his shoulder and ending his Terps' career on such a big hit. I like the Mitchell pick because it was late in the 7th and what can you really expect, but now, JC has a big target that he can overthrow and have no excuses. Cody Glenn is by far our worst pick. But maybe not, he might get me a good deal on tickets.

This draft is a C+ at best and that is if Orakpo is a double digit sack guy and the corner turns into a potential starter.

Dan Snyder really needs to focus on business.

The last 4 picks were a complete embarrassment. There were some solid O-lineman available.
