Who would you rather have in round 5 - Cody Glenn or Jamon Meredith/Duke Robinson?

1st. You're ranting over a 5th round pick. Not all teams draft picks are going to be winners and each team has its own reasons for picking a player.

2nd. Robinson and Meridith were projected 2nd/3rd rounders, yet 30 teams passed on these guys until late in the 5th round.

3rd. I still think that if the team was going to address the offensive line, the sure thing would have been picking up Oher at 13th. They didn't, so let's not pretend that a 3rd, 5th, 6th, or 7th round would have fixed that.

I also remember NFL analysts talking about Cade McNown, Akili Smith, Tim Couch, and Robert Gallery. But, none talked about Tom Brady like that, and just to emphasize Ruhskin's point you are making it seem like MEreidth or Robinson would have come in from day one and made the pro bowl.

No I'm saying that they would of had a better chance of starting or playing a lot than this Glenn guy

Fire mcshay hire me...you clearly don't get my point, the point is that this guy is a no name and the other two where names, this guy when he got drafted I'm sure pretty much all skin fans were like "who the hell is that" (same with eddie Williams, but that's another story) this guy wasn't even that productive in college, he won't stay on our team whereas one of those two guards probably would have...you know and I k ow this , your just trying to disprove my point

So your not even sure of your own argument? How do you know that he won't stay on the team? Did you talk to the Skins FO? He was a fifth rounder. I don't know any fifth rounder that signs a 6year 70million dollar deal. Just because you don't know who he is doesnt mean that he wont stay on the team.

How do you know? For all we know they would not be able to pass Reinart on the depth chart. There is a reason they both slipped so fa.r

This is probably one of the more pointless threads we've had to choose from.

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHO YOU WOULD RATHER HAVE...THEY ARE ON OTHER TEAMS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My point is that Glenn won't be good and will probably be cut

My bad dude! I'm going a little stir crazy with no good football news out there post-draft. I need a fix!!! Maybe I'll start watching the Caps.

Well I can accept that, but don't say that we should've taken the two offensive linemen who were projected as 2nd/3rd rounders yet they fell all the way down to the late 5th round.

[tryfuhl]

I don't think that any of them will be available in next year's draft, so I really don't have an opinion.

good point

[sportscurmudgeon]

I saw OU play three times last year and I was impressed by Robinson (and Loadholt too) in each game.

On that basis, I would have to say that I would have taken Robinson in the 5th round.
