It's LaRon Landry!

It's a good thing we've got a couple of great tackling safeties. With our defensive line the way it is, we're going to need them.

I just hope that we can add more depth at the d-line WITHOUT giving up one of next years picks.

I have a feeling we have learned the hard way. With that being said I do believe next years picks are safe and we will have a FULL draft.

The second paragraph on NFL.com says it all...

NFL.com - Prospect Profiles (http://www.nfl.com/draft/profiles/2007/landry_laron)

That seems pretty freaking impressive... I hadn't heard that until now... not a single TD allowed in his carreer? Thats kinda nuts...

This draft has left me feeling empty. It's so hard to watch all the other teams in the NFL getting better at multiple positions while we basically are standing still and just getting a year older.

I would have rather seen us address the defensive line, but I'm not totally against LaRon Landry as a player. He may be good for us for years. My problem is he's the only guy we added today.

There are 31 teams around the NFL who got better today. I don't feel like we did.

Yeah, watching guys like Aron Sears, Chris Houston, Steve Smith go later then expected was so tough. With all the depth this year it was not an opportune time to have no picks.

didn't take him long to make a smart ass coment about the pick:

"And how about the Washington Redskins, who just about elevated redundancy to an art form, selecting LSU safety LaRon Landry, arguably the draft's top defender, with the No. 6 overall pick? Landry is a potentially brilliant player but, even with the resurgence of the safety position in the NFL, he may have been a luxury, given that Washington already has safety in Sean Taylor, the fifth overall pick in 2004. Washington is the first team to use two top-10 picks on safeties, a fact that mattered little to Landry.

"We should be a killer combination," Landry told ESPN.com by phone from his parents' home in Metairie, La. "I watched a lot of when he was in college, at Miami, although I haven't seen a lot of him in the pros. But he's one of the guys I've tried to emulate during my own career. On my visit with the Redskins, I met with (defensive coordinator) Gregg Williams. He seemed like a perfectionist, but also a real smart guy, so he'll figure out a way to use both of us. I'm not worried about us being the same kind of player." "

REALLY ???? NOT the Lions who took a Receiver in the first round 4 out of the last 5 years ???? REALLY LENNY ?

Yeah, I've got to say that I was surprised that the Redskins did not give up some of next year's picks to secure additional picks this year. I was happy they didn't as I still do not see the logic of trading a 1st for a 2nd this year or a 2nd next year for a 3rd this year.

But, it's kind of hard to swallow that the team gave up this year's 2nd rounder for a guy that they were about to replace with Lance Briggs. That second rounder could have snagged S Eric Weddle, OG Justin Blalock, OG Tony Ugoh, DE LaMarr Woodley, MLB David Harris, FB/RB Brian Leonard, OC Ryan Kalil, DE Quentin Moses, or MLB Buster Davis. Maybe Rocky will be a stud, but their attempt to replace him doesn't inspire confidence. It's similarly hard to swallow that we lost the opportunity to draft guys like CB Marcus McCauley, DT Tank Tyler, S Aaron Rouse, CB Daymeion Hughes, and DT Quinn Pitcock because we traded for Duckett.

With the FO taking a stand on Rocky not being part of the deal for Briggs, I see that as a sign that the Briggs trade talks might have more to do with how unsure they are of Marcus coming back from his major hip surgery than Rocky's ability to be one of the starting lbs.

It sucks being right sometimes, even when you don't want to be.
