The official 2008 draft discussion thread

I'm in love with all three of these picks.

First off, it shows that our coaches and GM aren't smoking crack and drinking the Anthony Mix Kool Aid. They recognize that we need serious weapons. They're right.

Santana Moss, as good as he is, doesn't score enough TDs. Same with ARE. Down in the red zone these guys disappear. Nevermind the fact that Moss is getting older and that without these WRs, James Thrash or Anthony Mix would be our #3 WR (horrible).

Fred Davis gives us a second TE weapon, another big body for making yards after the catch.

We got serious value out of our picks. You guys are crazy.

This draft wasn't a total disaster. Fred Davis was a nice choice as a 2nd TE, and Malcolm Kelly was good value at number 51.

Devin Thomas is a draft pick thrown away...but being positive here, it's better to throw the 34th pick away than it is to throw the 21st pick away.

Also we moved up into the 4th, and that gives us another shot at a potential starter, so the front office deserves it's credit on making a great deal with Atlanta.

At the end of day one, the Redskins are no better off then when they entered it, and every other team in the NFC East is. That's the troubling part.

were definitly better...our ofense couldnt score points last year. hopefully now we can score more. and our defense was ranked 8th in the league, so we just need some consistency...

Cooley isn't going to lose his job. The beauty of the Davis pick is it allows us to play more singleback and spread the field with fewer receivers on the field.

Except that makes no sense in light of the other draft picks.

Kelly should be a good player for us, but you have to wonder if neither Moss nor ARE is in the future plans.

lol...you can't be serious. Do you know something we don't know?

We got serious value out of our picks. You guys are crazy.Alright, if I give you Davis and Kelly, can you come up with any sort of defense for the Thomas pick with every other receiver (except Avery) available?

Would we not have been better off with Jordy Nelson?

I understand the logic, don't necessarily agree at first pass, but depending on what happens tomorrow we could come out much improved if the two WRs pan out.

Zorn and Cerrato are definitely putting their stamp on the team very quickly.

Yeah, but you generally don't need your 3rd, 4th, and 5th wideouts to be "world beaters". I'm on record that this means more to Moss and Randle El than people think.

I think Zorn was completely dissatisfied with his current options at wide receiver.

But you must be happy about ARE most likely no longer being the 2/3 option right?

I wonder how reactive these moves were, after the Giants drafted Phillips, Cowboys drafted Jenkins and Eagles signed Samuel

if you want to play WR you will have to earn your spot, every practice counts from now on.
