Redskins release Devin Thomas

[NYCSkin]

Not surprised nor am I that pissed at Vinny.

If you look at that 2008 second round--there are some real duds at WR; Jerome Simpson, Dexter Jackson, Limas Sweed, James Hardy. Only stud thus far is Desean Jackson. So it wasn't just the Skins that botched those WR evaluations. They just did it twice...

Eddie Royal was also a stud.

That doesn't make me feel any better. The reality is the two headed Snyderatto was a terrible Front Office. Period. To this day Cerratto still claims they (Kelly and Thomas) were a bargain, 1st round talent piked in the 2nd round.
WHAT A ****ING JOKE!
We are still paying the price for their poor leadership and inability to stock our team with quality players. It is not the Coaching.
Someone mentioned earlier about other teams picking up our thrown away gems. Which ones? Patrick Ramsey? HA! Ladell Betts? Oh wait....Jason Campbell. You could build a all star team with that line up.

I am surprised by some of the shock and disbelief by some on this thread about Thomas getting cut. Where have you been?
Thomas and Kelley were reaches just because we thought our biggest need at the time was tall fast WR's. All the while our offensive line was really the biggest need.

I've been preaching this for years on this board - build a team from the inside out if you want long term success. Great line play leads to winning football, even with average talent on the perimeter. Lousy line play leads to losing football, even with elite talent elsewhere.

Amen Brother!
There are a whole lot less good athletic 6' 5" to 6' 6" and 300+ pound people in the world than 5' 9" to 6' 4" athletic people. Statistically they are harder to find. Draft big athletic people over small unless it is someone incredibly special.
Thomas and Kelly did not qualify in that 'someone incredibly' special in college.
