The official 2008 draft discussion thread

We should go after another reciever if sweed or kelly drops


Disagree. We have other needs, lets move on. We got the #1 WR on the board.

DE, DT, DB, OL. Of course best player should prevail, but we have other needs. We can make a couple of crap shoot picks in the 6th and 7th rounds.

damn damn, minesota took the safety...I wanted him with campbell..
What about DaJuan Morgan at safety instead. I actually like Morgan better than Johnson.

I worry about bust potential for Thomas too, but there again, kudos to the FO for trading down into the second to minimize the impact if that happens.

Just got back from the draft party at FedEx...incredible time!

I love the trade down even though we didn't make away with a huge advantge value wise. We get more young Redskins which is is what we need.

How shocking would it be if they took another wideout at #48?

As a supporter of the CJ trade, I must say that I'm glad things turned out this way. I really didn't know if any teams were going work with us to trade down, and that picking a WR at 21st would be too much. I wonder if the change in $$ that happens between being picked 21st and being picked 34th is different enough to make someone like Devin Thomas work harder to prove himself.

Well I'm avery happy with three picks in the second rounds, given the talent and our needs I think this fits nicely. I really hope the lack of offense was more from the coaching philosophy rather than the need to an explosive receiver. I do hope that Mix and Thomas can contribute to the offense (and that we don't need to go after oldheads at WR)

Matty, check ur pm..

Not a bad choice

I like Thomas in the 2nd. Excellent trade down.

If we can land Groves in three picks, that would be money.

Very. I don't see that happening at all!
