can't believe we only got a C.
maybe they missed the fact that we got SEAN TAYLOR and a TE that lead the NCAA in recieving yards for a TE.

Prisco is on the Crack Pipe. Or maybe it's crank. Who knows. But apparently, an intervention is required. Here is the drivel he wrote...
"Best pick: Although it might have been better to get Kellen Winslow, they opted for defense and Sean Taylor. He is a Pro Bowl player in a year.
Questionable move: Never having enough draft picks. They had four, but that's never enough.
Steal: Mark Wilson, a fifth-round pick from California, should benefit from playing for offensive line coach Joe Bugel and could develop into a quality player.
Overall grade: C. Based on getting a player of Taylor's quality, even if Winslow was the better choice."
Am I missing something here? Is this completely nonsensical or have I lost all ability to follow logic and reason? Did he really grade us down to a C because of the Taylor over Winslow pick? Right after he said Taylor would be a pro-bowler and we got a great steal of a tackle?
That hurts my head almost as much as when I was 15 and hearing "because I said so" as a valid answer from my parents.
:rolleyes:
We're in a no win situation. If we took Winslow the so called experts would say we've overloaded on offense and should have taken Taylor.
I thought Taylor made perfect sense. We already have enough weapons on offense. And with the Cooley pick Gibbs got his H-back and we still got Taylor.

We are going to hear these types of things from the media all year round. Until we prove that we have done something good, we are nothing but the media's punching bag.

Have you guys ever seen the movie Half-Baked (Dave Chappelle's seminal film)? You remember that scene where the guy at the fast food joint gets fired? So he grabs the microphone at the cash register and just starts randomly pointing at different people and saying "F*ck You" "F*ck You" "You're Cool" "F*ck You"
I hope after we get our next Super Bowl trophy, Dan Snyder or Joe Gibbs or whoever steps up to the podium in the post-game press conference and does exactly that
Chappelle note: his show is moving to Tuesdays starting this week

If you are grading THE DRAFT and nothing else, the Redskins drafted one player who is virutally certain to start and play every snap on defense barring injury. They also drafted a tight end/H-back who had a nice year in college last year but is hardly considered at this point to be a sure-fire starter in the NFL right away. Then they drafted big people.
If you actually get one starter out of THE DRAFT that is an average draft - no better. So the grade of "C" makes some sense. If Cooley is a starter and sees the field for more than half the snaps this year, then they should get a "B".

I kind of get the impression that he was giving the 'skins a D or F because they gave away too many picks, but that the Taylor pick raised it up to a ...if that makes any sense.

There are other links with grades. I've seen "B" associated with the Redskins on most of them. Someone bring another link in here to offset this guy!
