Redskins Insider: Tough Start For the Draft Picks

please tell me your kidding. Where you not paying attention when experts said that both Blades and Sartz were steals in this draft.


steals in the draft sure.... untill they reach our team and never play a down on defense.

Dude, have some faith in our team.... :doh:

There ARE players are taken deep in the draft that live long NFL lives. With our poor depth at LB, they will easily make the team, and with watching players like Fletcher and Washington, they have good mentors to become good players.
I guarentee they make the team.

Umm, do the names Jared Newberry, Robert McCune, Kili Lefotu, and Manuel White Jr. ring a bell?

They are all day 2 draft picks that never came close to making an impact for this team.

Let's be real -- it's not unusual for 5th, 6th, or 7th round draft picks not panning out. Especially when this front office is calling the shots.

Heck, only Golston and Montgomery are exceptions to the rule. Until there's a geniune change of direction for this team, the skepticism for guys like Sartz and Blades is well founded if you ask me.

I agree with your point but I think it's a bit early to be writing guys off. I mean c'mon, today is day 4 of camp.

I'm not writing anybody off or anything, basically it's a "I'll believe it when I see it" kind of thing.

Yeah I got ya, I was referring to those already making Taylor Jacobs comparisons.
