Redskins release Devin Thomas

[GMScud]

Yeah I knew the guy was really struggling in the eyes of the coaches, but he's been very solid in the return game. I'm surprised we just straight up cut him. Sheesh. What a waste.

To say our receiving corps is paltry would be a compliment. I wish we could find a way to draft AJ Green. We'll need to win less than 4 or 5 games to get that chance though.

So who is going to return kickoffs now?

Banks or Simpson.

I don't care. I'm just glad it's not Thomas. He's provided nill on offense as a WR and on his KR's it seemed he bobbled every catch. I think in the last game he bobbled and dropped it in the end zone, picked it up, and only got to the 26 yrd line. You don't want your KR bobbling all the time.

I'm telling you, Julio Jones is just as good as AJ Green is.

Look at my post above on WRs drafted the last 10 years. Every one of those guys were studs in college too. Green and Jones could just as easily flame out at the next level. QB and WR may be the most difficult positions to predict success in the NFL.

Did I ever disagree with anything you said? I've been saying from day 1 that this is the deepest WR draft since 96

No you didn't. I was just pointing out that we should be wary of drafting wide receivers early in the draft. The ones that do make it usually take 2-3 years to show consistency, and many never reach their potential. The Skins could be a case study for the poor return from drafting WRs in the 1st two rounds: Desmond Howard, Michael Westbrook, Rod Gardner, Taylor Jacobs, and now Thomas and Kelly.

Speaking of the draft, with the likelihood that future rookie contracts will be severely restricted by the next CBA, there could be a big run of draft-eligible underclassmen declaring for the upcoming draft. If that happens, it could be an incredibly deep draft across multiple positions.

I wonder who is going to pick him up...
He will probably end up like Taylor Jacobs and sit on the bench for a few years before giving up.

We will not take a WR with our 1st round pick and you can take that to the bank.
