jacksonville got 2 grade 1 pass rushers, miami got great talent (henne, merling, long - all three are long term starters at the 3 hardest positions to fill... i mean, wow). baltimore had 4 great picks after blowing it hard with flacco... GB did well, KC didn't get great value, but they got good players.

philly did well again... oakland not so much (great pick of chaz schilens in the 7th, but his career will probably die there). pitt took a bunch of players they plan to play immediately (again), and san diego got a steal on K brandon couto at pick 235 (don't they still have kaeding though?)

stl got long (DE) and great value with schuening in the 6th... they also grabbed vobora (LB) in the 7th (148 tackles last year) which is a steal. tampa bay reached a lot, but dre moore (DT) was a good pickup in the 4th (kinda wish we took him instead).


besides hardy (DE), haynos (TE), and highsmith (LB), i'd like to see giguere (LB) as a redskin too... he might go back to college though (canadian and does not have an agent).

out of 10 picks, i like 8 (even though i would have done things a bit differently). rob jackson and justin tryon don't really do much for me.

Could you imagine the outcry here if we had traded a 1st, 2 3rd, and a 4th to move up to get Harvey?

Teams deal way to record 33 trades on draft weekend

NFL decision-makers were a finicky lot at the NFL draft, making a record 33 trades on Saturday and Sunday, surpassing the previous record of 28 from the 2004 draft.

Well we've now got:

Moss
Randle El
Mix
Thrash
Mathis
Thomas
Kelly

Who are the odd men out? Will Zorn carry 5 or 6 WRs?
Thrash, Mix/Mathis, or a trade for ARE most likely to go. No?

Thrash is a Gibbs-guy and, although I love his attitude, I doubt he'll be on the roster come September. Jerome "I hit fetuses" Mathis is likely gone as he has limited value as a receiver and we have enough return men on the roster. My guess is we start the season with Moss, ARE, Thomas, Kelly and perhaps Mix.

I'd put my money that we keep 5 or 6 wide receivers, if it's five wide receivers I think the guys would be Moss, El, Thomas, Kelly, and Mix, but if it's 6 then Thrash stays on the roster. Either way I don't see "Baby Beater" Mathis as anything more than training camp fodder, we don't need him at wideout and we don't need him to return anything.

Woohoo! I'm psyched to see us pick up Brennan. I think this kid has the potential to be a decent backup studying with Zorn and Collins.


Who knows, if the worst happens with JC we might have a new starter in a few seasons.

Not to mention Devin Thomas is a very good return guy as well, which makes Mathis even more expendable.
