Compensatory picks are in

This is exceptionally good news.
Take it with a grain of salt though.
We essentially got the top choice in the 4th round.
The 7th rounders would have been undrafted.
Of course there is always an advantage with a pick vs undrafted though these folks are unlikely to stick.

It is entirely possible to get a starter with the high pick though!
That is wonderful!!

It is basically the first 4th round pick, but tell that to his agent.

Something is better than nothing.

One of those picks needs to be spent on Joe Flacco. I just finished watching all of Jason Campbell's passes this past season on my TIVO and I took some notes and noticed that he telegraphs his passes 65% of the time. I told you guys when we drafted him, he's not smart enough to be an NFL starting QB. Joe Flacco got a 27 on his Wonderlic.

Here's my mock

1-Calais Campbell
2-Chilo Rachal
3-Joe Flacco
3-We need offensive line help

If Gibbs wasn't so clueless and traded for Duckett we could have a 4th rounder too.

I'm curious just how you told us how dumb JC was when we drafted him when your join date to this forum was March 2008? :doh:

I think someone else is clueless!

Because I had to rejoin the site after my username stopped working. But ask any of the mods here they know I've been around. I don't let them forget me :)

Why can't you ever just admit when you're wrong offiss, or offfiss, whatever your name is now? True, Campbell hasn't been phenomenal but he's been a lot better than you've ever given him credit for.

Anyway, this extra pick is great news for us. I hope, as the rest of us, that we can capitalize on it.

Correct. Hopefully we can do like every other team and draft all starters with every pick we have.

Every other team is hardly that successful w/the draft. Often, not even half of draft picks make a team. If all draft picks made their teams every year there'd be hardly any vets around.

Let's hope we do a little better than the last time we had this many picks:

2002
1(32) Patrick Ramsey
2(56) Ladell Betts
3(79) Rashad Bauman (CB)
3(87) Cliff Russell (WR)
5(159) Andre Lott (DB)
5(160) Robert Royal
6(192) Reggie Coleman (OT)
7(230) Jeff Grau (TE)
7(234) Greg Scott - (DE)
7(257) Rock Cartwright

Since the 7 round draft began in 1994, we have had:
'94: 7 Picks, 4 in the first three rounds - 7(4)
95: 8 (3)
96: 6 (1) (The one high pick was Andre Johnson - Blecchh)(A Cerrato pick)
97: 8 (3)
98: 7 (2) - No First Rounder
99: 6 (2)
00: 8 (3) - Two First Rounders (Arrington, Samuels)
01: 5 (2)
02: 10(4) - See above
03: 3(2) - No First (T. Jacobs, D. Dockery, G. Hamdan)
04: 4(2) - (Cooley, Taylor)
05: 6(2) - Two Firsts (Rogers Campbell)
06: 6(1) - No First (McIntosh in the 2nd)
07: 5(1)


I hope we can get some good hits early. I don't know though - we haven't been overwhelmingly successful in the 2-3 rounds.

ouch, that 02 draft was rough. I remember hoping bauman & Lott would be good & of course that ramsey would be our starter for years. At least Ladell, Rock & Royal have been decent.

Wonder if that draft was more of the ole ball coach or vinny?

We now have enough picks to start the philosophical change that the will Make the Redskins a contender for years to come...not just a flash in the pants as in years past with our splash tactics of off has been free agents of years before.

I look forward to our return to glory!!!!

Draft day will be a good day to look foreward too this year. When was the last time we had nine picks in any one draft? It is my hope we continue this trend, IMO it's the proper way to build the team for the future.

I'll be excited come draft day, way to go Skins!!
