The official 2008 draft discussion thread

The more I think about the WR picks I start to think about Moss' hamstring injuries in NY that lead to him coming here for Coles. He had a bruised heel this year and that awful game that he pulled himself out of. The WR picks don't bode well for his long-term future here. ARE will be fine as he's more versatile is a solid slot or # 3 and can focus more on his return game.
Moss is going to have pressure on him this year, or at least in the next couple years, for his job, so he's going to have to perform well.

Doh! I read the poll wrong... I thought it was asking for best pick of the draft, not biggest wtf. Retract my vote for Fred! He's the best pick, imo.

There was such a run on OL already. Roy Scheuning from Oregon St. is the best guard left & Carl Nicks from Nebraska is the best tackle, but they probably won't be around by pick 96.

I'd like to see us go DL. Maryland's Dre Moore and Arkansas' Marcus Harrison are still on the board. Hopefully, one of them will stil be around by #96. The DE position was absolutely ravaged already. Is Chris Ellis from VT the best guy left?
I'd be happy with any one of the DTs or OL mentioned if we can get them with our Comp Pick.

You make a great point. No doubt we passed up a helluva player in Calais Campbell, but I'm okay with it. He may make us look stupid by passing him up, well see.

But isn't that what the draft is really all about? We'll see....
Our FO may also look like geniuses if he's a bust

There are still some talented guys in the secondary left: CB Justin King from Penn State, CB Charles Godfrey whom we were interested in, and safeties: Reggie Smith from Oklahoma, DaJuan Morgan from NC State, and Thomas DeCoud from Cali. From a value standpoint, the secondary prospects are looking pretty good for our first pick tomorrow.

I just wish the Redskins (Snyderatto) would look at our Draft History a little more. We have not taken a lineman high (1st round) in the draft since 2000 when we took Samuels. We have not taken a defensive lineman high in the draft since 1997 when we took Kennard Lang. There is a reason our lines are old and thin. We have done nothing but draft skill position players high in the draft for the last 8 years. How about changing it up?

Where is the "All of the Above" option for the poll?

I have to admit I've calmed down from the hysteria of the selections. I suppose you could make the argument that if Chris Cooley were to go down to injury, we don't have anybody behind him who poses any threat at the tight end position. I've also been convinced that having two dangerous threats like that poses extra problems for defenses. So overall, I'm shocked that they used the pick there, but if it helps us score more points, then come September nobody will be complaining.

The thought actually crossed my mind when Malcolm Kelly was still on the board before our final 2nd round pick that they might take yet another wide receiver because to me, we've seen all that we're going to see from Moss and Randle El as receiving threats. And they are not enough.

So I'm done bitching. I like the selections. But the O-line and Reed Doughty still make me nervous.

Or a "Wait until the Draft is over before we slit our wrists and jump off a bridge" option

How about Eric Young the guard from Tennessee? Before his injury he was considered one of the top guards in the draft. Here is his bio:
