I guess the big secret is they are gunna use Bryant at NT? or the Jarvis kid even though they claim he will be DE?

Its the 5th round.
What isnt a reach?

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Gomes has the physicality and mentality to be a reserve defensive back who lines up near the box in nickel and dime packages while also providing special teams coverage value. Comfortable playing in zone down near the line, breaks well on the ball and is quick and aggressive in run support. Not capable of roaming the deep half or shadowing receivers, tight ends or backs in man coverage at the next level. Not comfortable tackling out in space. Durable and has the build to hold up in the NFL. Gomes has some limitations, but still warrant a late round selection or free agent consideration.


Don't like this pick. At least he is guaranteed to be good on a Turkey and Swiss Panini.

have they claimed that? I though he (Jarvis) said he's expected to play NT.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Gomes is an odd pick.

Been telling you about Hankerson for weeks...never even heard of Gomes

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Really glowing write up on NFL.com for this kid.- "Not capable of roaming the deep half or shadowing receivers, tight ends or backs in man coverage at the next level. Not comfortable tackling out in space."

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Gomes, at least, appears to be a high volume tackler. Hey, It's the 5th round!

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

If we have special teamers and back up DB's currently on the roster bubble then this is a decent need pick.

Heres the write up on CNN.SI: No Positives

Negatives: Struggles in battles and gets outmatched by opponents. Was Nebraska's nickel back and never a true starting cornerback.

Projection: 7th


Great pick

I hear what your saying. I just think our last 2 picks would have been available in the 7th round.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

5th round, every write up is going to have negatives written in. In fact I think the 5th-7th round of the draft ought to have a nickname like the "Oh not THAT guy" draft

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

No. 146: Redskins select: DeJon Gomes, SS, Nebraska Grade
This a decent pick and will add depth to the secondary. He is likely to contribute on special teams. C+

C+? What is this my college report card?

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

I guess the skins are looking at a glut of DL on the roster and not willing to part with some of them... Only reason I see to not take Powe at NT, other than the fact that they might not be sold on him bc of his weight issues.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Love the pick. DeJon Gomes was overshadowed by the two fantastic corners they had.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Well we need CB depth

Our inability to find talent in the mid rounds is a large part of the reason that we consistently suck.

Now that's funny.

I don't get the pick. Grab Devlin or McElroy. Grab some lineman that we've never heard of. But there seems to be no place for Gomes, who seems not to be worth a space, anyway.

Per Redskins.com
[quote]Jenkins, 6-4 and 309 pounds, is expected to play defensive end in Jim Haslett’s 3-4 scheme in Washington[/quote]

Take it for what it's worth. I also thought MS supposedly commented on him and said he would play DE.

[quote=81forHOF;799485]Our inability to find talent in the mid rounds is a large part of the reason that we consistently suck.[/quote]

Well, I'd break that down in 12 parts and since some of them dont make picks for the Rdeskins any more, I'm going to remain optomistic.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

[quote=81forHOF;799430]Greg Jones ILB Mich St is still available. his build is a little slight but he was a hell of a playmaker. Most rankings have him as a second rnd talent[/quote]

That'll be the second time we've drafted a linebacker named Greg Jones.

Jenkins says they told him NT, Shanahan told the media DE. FWIW.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Gomes is depth. Bad for Horton or Moore. We don't know what Jenkins is yet. Some Jenkins himself said NT, Shanahan said DE, but either way I'm not fully sold; NT still needs to be addressed.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

We're going to take a position that we don't need. I'm guessing TE or punter.

Lol remember Dennis Morris.

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Anyone taken the kicker from Nebraska?

Re: 2011 NFL Draft: Rounds 4-7
 

Its the 5th round, we are getting some depth baby. Doughty is a free agent so DeJon Gomes will come in and be the back up SS. Now we have Atogwe and Landry as starters with Moore and Gomes as the backups. Another position settled.

Barnes, Atogwe, Landry, Hall - starting secondary
Orakpo, Fletcher, Riley, Kerrigan - starting Linebackers
Carriker, Bryant (Powe should be our next pick if available), Jenkins - starting defensive linemen

Hopefully we can resign Buchannon as our 3rd CB. Or use a pick to draft a prospect with a late pick. Gotta think positive guys.

I think they like Bryant at the NT position more than you realize.
