Also, that we have already improved the secondary (with Smoot and Macklin), suggests to me that it was time to focus on the D-line.

Yeah, it would have been a reach at six, but I was really impressed with all the background on his character and personality. Sure seemed like a guy who could have matured into a team leader and core of the defense.

There does seem to be an imbalance. It says to me that the Fantasy Football, big name, marketing approach is not yet dead at Redskins Park. Cerrato's statement that you don't draft for need is the most idiotic thing I've heard, and he's supposed to be the knowledgeable component of the Snyder/Vinny tandem. If you had ten picks you can do that, but we had just one and you need to use that one to get well. I would have been willing to take my chances with Pray-Low or Stout-Mire. We need more talent, especially at the DE position.
