I was stoked there until they let me down.

The thing about Malcolm Kelly and Devin Thomas is that the Redskins were more or less roundly criticized for picking those two wide receivers in particular.

Coming out of college, everyone knew about Kelly's health issues and the problems with his knees (which contributes to the chronic problems with his hamstrings) and that he was coming out because his value was still high, but he was still probably overdrafted.

Devin Thomas only had one year of production to back him up. To Mike Shanahan, that might've made him worthy of being drafted in the same spot Niles Paul was. To Vinny...ugh...

Basically, Vinny was an idiot. Hankerson has a history of production and improvement (and has improved on not dropping the ball), as does Aldrick, and Niles Paul had enough production to justify his draft position, coming from a run heavy football team.

As for needing a tall number one receiver...I think sometimes the idea of the number one receiver is bigger than the reality of it. And again, Greg Jennings is the "number one" receiver for Green Bay and he's only 5'11".

We need a big pickup offensively outta FA if it ever happens...

Plax or Sidney... we need to pull the trigger on one.
If the starters gonna be John Beck we need some weapons more than ever right now.

Yes, let's once again trade picks for a QB that might be washed up...

Might be? That would be almost as bad as signing Hasselbeck. Or wait!.... even better.... Danny boy is going to lure Kurt Warner out of retirement with a HUGE signing bonus. Bagging groceries isn't paying the bills.

Ok, so I guess you'ed rather have a over the hill delinquent that can't show up on time or make meetings .....or run routes.

NFL.com news: Cooley: Burress could go from prison to Redskins' roster

Cooley said: : "It's tough when you get guys like T.O. or Chad, who have been what they are in the NFL for so long. In my opinion, Plaxico Burress probably is a guy that's humbled such as Michael Vick was, a lot, in the same situation. If you were going to take a risk on a guy that's a good player, he's probably the guy you're going to take a risk on.

Cooley in this case needs to keep quiet and worry about Cooley.

Cooley is a great player,doesn't mean he knows talent,IMHO players need to stop being HC's or GM's and let the those guys do that.Cooley doesn't know Plax......he doesn't know a thing about his work habits and such,just becuase Vick did well doesn't mean Plax will, most likely the Skins are going to have a QB that is new to the system and the last thing they need is a player that doesn't run routes.
