Compensatory picks are in

I didn't think I needed to put the sarcasm tags around my post. I guess I was wrong.

My bad, my judgement has been skewed by the return of offiss/offfiss!

Yeah I'm pretty sure DS hasn't learned anything in the 6 years since that draft. Go look at our drafts under Gibbs compared to our drafts without him, there's a huge difference. I'm excited to have this many picks under our belt, and even though odds are slim we'll find the next Marques Colston in the 7th round, there is no harm in having two extra picks in that round.

right, we're supposed to believe that Danny all of a sudden knows how to draft? Please, this isn't something that just anyone can do. You have to be able to watch film and break it down. What great drafts did we have under old Man Gibbs' watch? I'd love to hear this one.

Well being Dan is only one piece of the puzzle, you should be more focused on Vinny being hes our draft guru and remember what he did in San Fran....do you even remember ( I doubt seriously, because you seem clueless as to whats even going on with the Redskins) . Great draft that lead to a Super bowl title!

But since you apparently don't know, I'll give you a couple examples: Lets see your boy that you have so much faith in JC, Cooley, Carlos, Rocky, LaRon, Sean Taylor, do you need any more examples of great drafts under " old man Gibbs "?

Wasnt 2002 spurriers year? or was it Schottenheimer???

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.

Cerrato wasn't here in '96. Andre Johnson was a Casserly pick. Not one of his best moments.

I know it's fun to blame Vinny but this is getting ridiculous.

The real question is how does this cange everyone's draft predictions?

We will have to go back to the drawing board for the draft now.

At least this time going "back to the drawing board" is good thing.

You're right that it does potentially change things. It gives the team more flexibility if they want to trade a pick to move up they know they have the comp. picks afterward. I don't see us moving up in the 1st, but I could see a trade up in any round thereafter. If they like the talent left in the 4th, I could see them trying to package a couple late round picks.

I would love to see us trade down to get more picks but that requires some good fortune & a team that really wants to make a move.

I found a full list of all the draft picks in order, including compensatory.

Mike Sando posted it on ESPN.com, but it's a link to an excel file. Here's the link: 2008 Draft Order.xls (http://www.mediafire.com/?dcnxnxwj5yx)

The Redskins picks are as follows:

21, 51, 84, 96, 154, 186, 228, 242, and 249.

Don't know if this was already posted, but there it is.

Aaack - you are correct sir. Sorry about that.
