Redskins Select Jarmon in 3rd Round of Supplemental Draft

What type of medication are you on? And can I have some, please?

Sit tight. He just passed it to me. You're next.

I mis-read your post and now I'm all confused.

Lets keep it simple. I would have been ok with a 4th round pick. 3 was too high IMO.

Got it

So who are the Skins going to cut from their Dline with Jarmon on board? I would have to think that Alexander is safe since he has more versatility as he can also play offensive line if the injury bug hits. I think Daniels is safe since he plays well against the run and is one of Coach Blatche's favorite players. So is it Wynn or Buzbee who gets the ax or both? Is there any restrictions as far as placing either on the practice squad (although I don't see Wynn accepting a practice squad position and he would just retire.)

Last year Jarmon was on the preseason watch list for the Ronnie Lott Trophy given to the nations best defensive player.

The thing I'm most happy about is that at least we didn't trade picks for washed up vets. Third might be a little too high, but that's a departure from what we've been doing with our picks anyway.

Buzbee seems to have recovered from his injury from what I've read. Still, I wouldn't be surprised to see him go.

Jarmon will have a year to practice and hopefully play this year , which should have him ready to be our starting DE to start 2010 . Had we used a pick on a DE next april , we would have likley had to wait a year while that pick developed . It's not like our DE's are getting younger . Lets hope he can play both DE spots and maybe DT on nickel packages and get some heat on the qb this year . Should Jarmon, Orakpo , Barnes make an impact this year , and DT,MK, and FD < our 08 picks > contribute , we will only have to focus on OL and maybe SLB in next years draft . I bet we sign 1 OL in F/A next year.

Wynn would not be eligible for the practice squad due to his level of experience (a PS player can not have been active for more than nine games in his career or been part of the 53-man roster for a full season) and as you said there is no way he would take that demotion even if it was possible. I guess it would be possible for Buzzbee to go to the practice squad since he was only active for three games in 2007 and on IR last year.

The supplemental draft is supposed to be "bargain shopping" you should be able to get Day 1 talent with Day 2 picks. If you rate a guy as a 2nd round talent, then you want to pick him in the 4th round or later in my opinion. I think that this was a reach and I hope that I am not bitching about it still in April.

Not really. Undrafted free agents are 'bargain shopping'; the supplemental draft is only for players that became ineligible after the regular draft. The rule of thumb for draft slot is similar to trading next years pick for an additional one this year. If you want a 3rd, it's going to cost you a 2nd because you are getting an extra year of service. Same thing here, if he was graded now as a 4th, we got him in the 3rd because we are getting '09 playing time from a '10 draft pick. Make sense?

Most scouts thought he'd go as high as 3 to as low as 6 in this years draft, so there is a debate about his talent level. He had a good year in '07 but obviously didn't play last year. Since we coughed up a 3rd I expect him to contribute some this season but hopefully he'll have a bigger role in 2010. I think Buzbee gets cut, and Jarmon has a chance to backup one of the starting end's.
No, he played last year, he tested positive for a banned substance after the deadline for entering the 2009 Draft so he had to go the Supplemental Draft route. He had a great '07 (7 sacks) but his production was down in '08 (4 sacks) largely due to more attention and double teams. That's probably why there was such a range in his draft slot predictions if he came out in '09.

Wynn would not be eligible for the practice squad due to his level of experience (a PS player can not have been active for more than nine games in his career or been part of the 53-man roster for a full season) and as you said there is no way he would take that demotion even if it was possible.

Thanks SC Skins Fan. Also - just curious - whereabout in SC are you living and do you follow college football? I went to USC and still follow the Gamecocks and Spurrier (I know he was terrible here) is having a terrific recruiting season this year with many saying he has the best offensive line recruiting class in the nation so far.
