Overall Draft Grade for the Redskins

im going with a B until I find out how the late roung D-End pans out and see if we get any FA LB's ....Namely Erin Henderson.....

Had we selected DE Calais Campbell instead of TE Fred Davis in the 2nd round, then this would be a solid A in my book. I haven't seen anyone else who had Fred Davis rated as a first round talent, yet we graded him that high. If Calais drops 10-15 lbs and develops into the dominant DE that he projected two years ago, we'll regret following our draft board to the T when it came to selecting Davis.

FoXSports.com (1st round, 24th overall)

FOX Sports on MSN - COLLEGE FOOTBALL - CFN's 2008 NFL mock draft (http://msn.foxsports.com/cfb/story/7826254)

In at least one of Kiper's mocks he had Davis going 25th to the Seahawks. So Davis wasn't a sleeper necessarily.

B. A on value, but i don't think any of the players (beyond the punter) are anything special, and we didn't get a DE either.

i do think 7 of these players can make the roster pretty easily though, so that's a good sign. we only got receiving, a punter, and db depth though out of 10 picks.

still, giguere, henderson, hardie, haynos, and highsmith could really help us out as UDFAs. our LB depth could be fixed solely by 8th rounders ;) and hardie could easily get a backup DE spot on this roster.

i too, would have liked campbell (btw, if he wasn't drafted, he'd be heading to iraq right now (army)), but he won't lose 10 lbs and turn into a sack machine. he's the slow run stopping type (like wynn or daniels). run stoppers just don't get labelled dominant. merling is the same type, just a bit better/faster.


oh yeah, it's pretty funny GB had another top 15 QB drop into their laps... why do they have it so easy up there... favre, hasslebeck, brunell (when he didn't suck), bart starr, i mean... damn. I think brohm probably sends rodgers back to the bench this year or next...

You sure you're not thinking of Caleb Campbell?

yeah, my bad. see what happens when you have to work 7-7 on weekends?

btw, you're now a level 3 CB, so start putting the smackdown on those receivers.

But what if Moss and ARE had gotten hurt? Like they did this past year

Or go half the year with no TDs again

DC52 does bring up some valid points.

like what?

I'm not getting paid like a level 3, I may have to hold out. My agent, Sheriff Gonna Rosenhaus, will be in touch.
