Who would you rather have in round 5 - Cody Glenn or Jamon Meredith/Duke Robinson?

What if Duke Robinson becomes a bust or doesnt ever crack the starting lineup, then wouldn't it be smart that we didnt pick him? People didnt agree with the Chris Horton pick and I think that worked out pretty well dont you?

And welcome by the way!

While I agree that the thread is useless in that "it doesn't really matter now" (um, does talking about the Redskins on the internet ever "really matter"?) I have to disagree with the premise that "People didn't agree with the Chris Horton pick a year ago. I am not picking on you particularly, I have just seen that logic thrown around a ton (mostly on NFL.com message boards) and it just strikes me as completely false. My sense is that no one really cared much about the Chris Horton pick because he was drafted with a compensatory 7th and was like three picks from being "Mr. Irrelevant." So I have trouble believing anyone was really bashing the Horton pick, just not true. To confirm that I went back and searched this site and found the following "meet Christopher Horton" thread. Couple people said they really liked the pick, couple were questioning ESPN.com's rating system, but no one was basing Chris Horton (most people probably didn't think he would make the team, and didn't really care since he was drafted so late).

The reason that people are hanging on to the 5th round pick this year is because there were a couple of guys sitting there that everyone on the internet had rated much higher. Since everyone is now a draft expert it causes some irritation. I was preturbed at the time of the pick too and really wanted Meredith there. After listening to some local sports guys here in Columbia discuss him in the past couple of days I am not so sure. They basically said he always looked the part but didn't always come to play (I'm not a Gamecock fan, I didn't watch any games this year). Anyway, that was probably the info the USC coaches (do they still speak with Spurrier?) gave to the Skins and to other NFL teams. They probably also saw that inconsistentcy on tape. Hell, the guy even got moved inside to guard, not exactly a move you want to see from a guy you are projecting at either tackle spot. Whatever, I agree, pick is made, move on. But just don't throw out Horton's name to support your argument.

And I'm sure no one will read this whole post. Apologies for the length.

Actually I did and think it was a good post. Obviously we're not privy to as much info as the scouts, therefore our knowledge of the player is not as great as theirs. As much as we think we know, we don't know as much as they do.

not saying they were bashing it but people were upset because they didnt want us to draft 2 safeties i am saying you never know who is going to step up both mereidith and robinson vould suck they could be stars just let it play out before saying "why didnt we draft this guy"

Hence this whole thread. LOL.


And so the story goes...........

Good post. I think some of us just get tired of the constant mindless negativity, like this whole thread. While yes, this is the internet, I think the people that run this site encourage people to make some type of argument if you are praising/criticizing something or someone in the team, and not just blurt out a rant. Yes, the FO has made stupid mistakes, but don't act like EVERYTHING they do is stupid.

Jessica Alba.

Dido would work for me.

I would have gone with Duke...but he fell down the draft board for some reason. It wasn't just the skins who were passing on him so it's hard to point any fingers at the Redskins for doing the same.

Duke Robinson...Great size and a workhorse in college. Him and Phil Loadholt dominated defenses at Oklahoma. Yes I know this isn't college but this pick would have obviously added depth. I hope Devon Clark and Chad Linehart get some playing time this season. What's the story with Pete Kendell? Does the team plan on resigning him?

Devin Clark and Chad Rinehart are slated to get a lot of reps in training camp and are expected to provide depth along the interior line. Pete Kendall is a free agent still looking for a starting job somewhere. Expect him to re-sign right before camp if he's not signed anywhere else.

Jessica Alba? Hmm Good choice there. I'm not sure who I would have taken. Oh wait, I know, Scarlett Johansson.

It is insightful comments like these which keep me on the Warpath.

Scarlett Johansson brings it. Excellent physical condition, good attitude, positive presence in the locker room.

If we were going to draft a OLB in the 5th round, I wish we wouldn't have traded down and would have gotten Marcus Freeman...but since we did trade down, I would have gone with Duke Robinson
