Redskins Draft Analysis From Around the Interwebs

Wow, you guys are bitter. We got 3 first round talents in the second round and added enough youth to our passing game so that, hopefully, it will be secure for several years to come.

It's easy to say, yeah, we should have addressed the lines but if you look at the players that were available versus who we chose I think it's tough to whine too much.

Reading the initial post it seems that even the anti-Redskins media has to admit we did ok.

It is ironic that the media thinks we had a pretty darn good draft but people on the board are up in arms. I would like to reiterate that there is a whole SECOND day of the draft and we have 6 picks today and after that, we can sign undrafted FAs. Amazing! There is a lot of depth in this draft. Lets see how today works before we declare that the sky is falling

Mel Kiper picked us to spotlight, saying that we had an excellent draft. I was also listening to Sirius NFL radio, and they said "Watch out for the new Redskins weapons" and said we had a great draft.

I agree with them.

I would agree! There are two days to the Draft so lets all take a deep breath and chill. No one is more awared of what they need to take care of then the Redskins.

I've heard nothing but praise for what we did so far. Two of the top WRs and one of the top TEs. Hard to hate on that. Campbell will now have a full compliment of weapons at his disposal.

Hey, at least the draft analysts are happy. That's worth...what, 3-4 wins in the standings?

I think our draft will be defined by the 2nd day players; namely the quality and holes that the next 2 picks fill.

As opposed to the opinions of the armchair GM fans?

So far so good. Now if we can find a few gems in the 2nd day, and no more WR's.....that would be great. I'm hoping for a OL, DB, DE, DT, LB and QB in day two and hope half or better of these picks turn into players down the road.

How quickly we forget how our inept our offense was last year. All the crying last year, if we had a big Red Zone target for J.C., if only Moss could stay healthy, Cooley needs some help and so on....boy, memories sure are short around here.

The Skins are giving every chance for JC to become a pro bowler...unlike other QB prospects we have had. Yes I like the Draft picks but I was Surprised we did not get a DE but the TE pick allows us to line up in two TE sets and go down the field or run.

I think there is no need to question our moves. We have done well for ourselves! Now that being said if the second day of drafting we select more WR's then I would worry.

I would like to see us pick up Jason Taylor who would be available for a 3rd or 4th pick as was said by the experts. He could play for a couple of years and give us time to get a young DE to learn from the past Defensive MVP!

And didn't we go half way through last season with no TDs for our WRs?

It's funny, at the end of last season a lot of people agreed we needed a serious upgrade at the WR spot and more weapons for JC in general. Moss hasn't done much since 2005 and ARE while solid doesn't exactly scare anyone on a consistent basis. Fast forward to this weekend and it seems that most people have forgotten about how mediocre our WRs were. For some strange reason people have convinced themselves the defense was the problem last year.
