Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3

How can anybody say we aren't at an A+ right now? I mean seriously, our first round pick has been saying nothing but how absolutely jacked he is to play with Orakpo and to be a Redskin.. Not to mention he's got the pedigree to become great.

Our second round pick addressed a need. He may not be the highest rated player, but the coaches/management must have absolutely fallen in love with him. Bowers had a fun time getting all those sacks didn't he? Well somebody was causing pressure up the middle.

Our third round pick was probably the biggest steal of the third round. I'm in shock we actually took Hankerson here, it just doesn't seem real. I compare him and Julio Jones and wonder what makes them so different aside from less physicality from Leonard?

Ah young grasshopper, you forget you are talking about the Redskins!!!!! So far we have done very well, but most of our picks are yet to come. Crazy things can happen on Sat night.

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3

Lol, we pulled a reverse Falcon. The Falcons wanted a reciever so they used 5 draft picks to select Julio Jones. Redskins also wanted a reciever so they traded back 5 million times and got Leonard Hankerson.

I'm calling it now, Hankerson will be just as productive as Jones. Actually probably more productive as Hankerson doesn't have durability concerns.

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3

We have a ton of needs so stockpiling picks is nice and if we hit on starters and decent depth on like 75-80% that's like 7-8 great additions to the team. I'm just hoping that stuff works out so that we can add a true difference maker to start catching up to the eagles and giants in the division.

I agree.

A) Kerrigan may be a difference maker
B) Maybe one of our later picks will be a diamond in the rough
C) There's always free agency, perhaps
D) Given our gajillion needs, getting able bodies this year might be more important than adding difference makers, who might need to wait for later

Re: 2011 Draft Thread Rounds 2-3

I'm noticing some common traits among our picks, things like high character guys, 4 year players not one year wonders, hard workers/high work ethic.

I noticed that to. That was part of the reason I suspected they wouldn't take Mallet. Also probably why they didn't go after Kendrick Ellis who just went to the Jets.

I think this is a good approach.

This guy could be our Wes Welker, maybe in the 5th round.

Yes, agreed. Would love to add Jeff Maehl as well. Our WR corps would have a lot of quickness, and we definitely need to get younger there.

Guys guys. Lets not go all Vinny here. Hankerson was a hell of a steal. Lets not push it.

ILB, RB, OG, and maybe QB are the positions we should be looking at tomorrow.
