Grade the Draft ... 2009 style

[VegasSkinsFan]

Cousins is a crap shoot just like any other qb. I like the pick as well but there is a reason that all of the other nfl teams passed on him three times. Best case is he plays well in the preseason and maybe the last game in 2013 if we have playoffs wrapped up and we get a draf pick for him

Keep Cousins. Cousins isn't meant to be a starter. Get with the program now. Beck sucked. Grossman sucks. Grossman is a slow ass in every sense of the word. Do you really want a slow ass to take over if Robert gets banged up and has to miss a game or two, or three? Cousins is a good backup, with a good arm, and isn't Rex Grossman or John Beck. Cousins is a definite upgrade for our QB corp. Like somone said in the Cousins draft thread, he is our new Gus. If Robert goes down ,or in the unlikely event he can't make the adjustment to the pro game, hopefully Kirk can come in and at least make us competitive.

We might lose Cousins if there is a market for him after his contract is up, but unless he turns out to be a bust himself, keep him. Grossman's days are numbered as a Skin, and then you will have to find two QBs if you dump him and Kirk after 2013.

A - Exceeded Expectations

B - Met Expectations

C - Simply made the roster

D - Hung on for a while but eventually cut

F - Waste of a pick

1(13) -- Brian Orakpo - A-: Pro bowler still hasn't reached his potential. Still remains a force to be reckoned with and a staple on the defense.

3(80) -- Kevin Barnes - C: Has made the team and provided some decent depth at corner but he hasn't proved being worth a 3rd round pick.

5(158) -- Cody Glenn - F: Caught on in with the Colts but was useless as a Redskin.

6(186) -- Robert Henson - D+: Had the chance to be decent and showed some promise in the 2010 preseason but got derailed by an injury.

7(243) -- Marko Mitchell - C+: Decent find in the 7th round and showed a lot of promise during the preseason but struggled to translate that into regular season success.

7(221) -- Eddie Williams - F: Had a cool highlight tape but ultimately amounted to nothing.

GPA - 2.21 - C Average

1st Round - 7 Credits
7th Round - 1 Credit

A - 4 Points, B - 3 Points, C - 2 points, D - 1 point, F - 0 points

Did I miss something? Did we draft Cousins in 2009?

Moral of the story is: don't trade second round picks for 34 yeal old Jason Taylor.

I vastly overrated this draft at the time it was made. That Cody Glenn pick...wasn't good.

Wasn't the 2009 draft class Cerrato's final one? He hit on Orakpo and Barnes but missed on the rest.
