Re: Reaction to Draft: exceeds, meets, or meh
I think it depends on how much Trent Murphy, Morgan Moses, and Bashaud Breeland contributes this year. I like these picks, but I'm not patient enough or willing to wait 2-3 years for them to develop. They need to show at least some kind of promise. Spenser Long was a risky pick, but if they did their work then he should contribute as well this year.
If none of these 4 contribute this year, it was a failed draft. |

IMO this draft sends a message to all the bench warmers, you need to play ST in order to be a benchwarmer if you don't you will be warming your couch seat at home.

Re: Reaction to Draft: exceeds, meets, or meh
Per Redskins SOP... We draft Hocker, he beats out Kobra Kai... We release Kobra Kai, he becomes a great kicker for another team.... Hocker kicks well for a few years, but we lose confidence and sign (insert Kicker) 2016... We release Hocker... Hocker becomes a great Kicker for another team as and then we sign/draft another Kicker in 2018....

NFL owners will vote on moving kickoffs to the 40 | ProFootballTalk At this rate they'll be able to randomly select fans to do kickoffs and still not worry about missing out on touchbacks. On a side note let me back in the glory of me being right for 9th time in my life: Quote:

Nothing wrong with using a 7th rounder on a kicker. Looking at the numbers Kai definitely didn't have a good season. 24th in FG %, 30th in touchbacks, 32nd net kickoff avg.
At the very least it sends a message and if the rookie beats him out so be it. |

Re: Reaction to Draft: exceeds, meets, or meh
I actually liked this draft. I'm a believer that you should usually draft the best available player in the draft, since it's such a shot in the dark.
They easily could have just drafted the highest MLB or Safety to fit our needs, but they went after players who probably won't even start this year.

Random factoid: only 13 players drafted in the first round of the 2009 NFL draft are still with their original teams and only 6 have made a pro bowl. Brian Orakpo is one of them.

Re: Reaction to Draft: exceeds, meets, or meh
This draft pretty much meets my expectations I had coming into day one of the draft. I can't wait to see what Jay, Bruce, and company do next year when they have a first.

I hadn't posted my opinion because I wanted to wait for the best insight. Using the above, the gpa would be 2.5 and slightly above average. That might be about right, although I don't agree with a failing grade for the 7th round kicker.
