Is 4th rounder Perry Riley better than McIntosh?
One more consideration. You can imagine a lot of URFA OL in camp because it's known that we have a couple of spots up for grabs.

The difference is that Campbell has first round speed/agility/athletic ability. You can't coach that, you're born with it. Speaking of project O-linemen, one with adequate size and off the charts athletic ability (Campbell) has a far greater chance to be an impact player than a guy with just size and average athletic ability (Heyer).
Perry Riley will probably be HB Blades - decent backup but lacking as a starter. We had a chance to nail bookend OTs for the next 5+ years ... We blew this one.Knucklehead athletes with ZOMGWTF atheleticism fail in this league. Bruce Campbell sounds like even more of a football knucklehead than Trent Williams.

I thought Campbell had a chance w/ us and IMO he should've been the pick, but I trust MS enough to let him take a chance on Riley, even though we probably could've gotten him in the 5th. At 163, I wouldn't mind us getting OT Tony Washington who would've been drafted if not for his legal problem or FS Robert Johnson from Utah would be a good fit.

ALL I WANT IS CAM THOMAS!!!!!!!!! Kemo isnt completely healthy yet and he needs to be in a rotation anyway. All the other fat bodies we've added this offseason is just that, no1 who can be a solid starter/player. pickin up Thomas will have him in a rotation with Kemo at NT, keeps Haynesworth outside as much as possible to keep him happy in a rotation with Carriker!!! This is all i want for Christmas!

I want to pull my best Smootsmack impression and say I told you so:
Look out for Myron Rolle. Redskins are looking for another Center Fielder. Personally I wouldn't be surprised if they passed on a tackle and drafted either a LB, RB, or FS. I mean I know Vinny isn't here any more but I don't think they feel the solution is to simply draft a bunch of lineman.

When it comes to football, yes, he SOUNDS like it. I limit the scope of the label. He could be smart at other subjects, hence I don't overgeneralize.
If someone displays tremendous atheleticism but his play is inconsistent at best and most certainly not dominant, then you're dealing with someone who is lacking in football instincts or is ill-equipped mentally to handle the game.
