Redskins vs. Steelers Preseason Pre-Game Thread

[mlmpetert]

I dont really care what round someone gets drafted in, if they get out preformed by later round picks that show that they too have potential i rather keep the later rounder. If Hankerson out performs Paul or Austin then he deserves to be on the roster. If theyout perform him then he should head to the practice squad in my opinion. Stallworth looked 10x better then i would have ever thought last night, and hes really not all that old. I guess i just prefer let the best man win.

I remember a bunch of people on this board were in love with DT Dre Moore coming out of Maryland in 2008. He got drafted in the 4th and went to the Bucs practice squad and a few people here (i think even me) said we should snag him off their PS and give him a roster spot. We didnt scalp him from their squad and no other team did either. He had tons of potential but has so far proven why he was drafted later then people thought he would be and ended up as a perennial PS member.

Hopefully Hankerson turns out to be a major steal. But if Paul or Austin turn out to be an even bigger steal thats cool with me too. Unfortunitly this lock out is gonna hurt a lot of players development, especially WR's which seem to take longer to learn the ropes. Just a thought of mine, im sure ill end up being wrong. PLUS its still way to early for me or anyone else to start jumping to conclusions. Hopefully Hank will prove me wrong over the course of the next 3 games
