Point taken, I beleive Capers played mainly RT & they switched him to LT a 7th rd pick for a RT is great. IMO.

Pete Prisco had this to say about us

Washington Redskins

Best pick: They landed a franchise tackle in Trent Williams in the first round. He will protect the blind side for a long time.

Questionable move: Passing on taking a quarterback for the future at some point. Donovan McNabb can't play forever.

Third-day gem: Fourth-round pick Perry Riley is a linebacker who could be in the mix inside in the new 3-4 scheme. Riley was an active player at LSU.

Analysis: I like the pick of Williams in the first round and getting McNabb for the second-round pick is stealing. If you factor in the McNabb trade, they had a nice draft.

Grade: B-

A B- is about right, considering they got Mcnabb, Williams, Carriker, and a steal in Capers. I still think Perry Riley was a reach, and would've been available in the 6th (he was kinda shocked he got drafted that high). I thought a FS or RT were more pressing needs considering Rocky wasn't traded and that we have no true starter at both RT and FS, but I think Austin is a poor man's D-Jackson, and Morris might be on the field WK 1, so Shanahan/ Allen made up for it in the late rounds, but Riley IMO was not even the best avilable LB on the board.

Great, now we're going to have to face Brandon Grahm twice a year. Hopefully the Grahm/Williams battles are a lot better then the Douglas/Samuels battles we saw in the earlier part of the 2000's. Ironically though we might not have to worry about Williams against the Wares, Osi's, and Grahms. It's the average guys that might get 3 or 4 sacks a year that apparently give Williams problems. If you watch the Texas game from last year he dominated Sergio Kindle, then you watch Miami and see that he had his hands full.

What does Selvish Capers ineffectiveness at the Senior Bowl have to do with Williams?

If i'm not mistaken in the probowl you are limited to how many times you can blitz because the OL is not familiar we each other. In the senior bowl it's not like that it's basically everyone for themselves.

I just watched the highlights. I know Capers had a terrible Senior Bowl, but I don't know how much this video helps us see what he needs to work on? Capers was in for exactly one play at left tackle during the whole entire video granted he did give up a sack to Graham.

Grahm got drafted by the Eagles. So naturally one would assume that they would line him up at RDE which would put him against Silverback. Selvish Capers has little to do with it unless of course Capers becomes a starter and Grahm gets a few snaps at LDE on passing downs. What I was talking about was more concerned with how well Grahm played in that game.

Senior Bowl has similar rules.

Jan 30, 2010 ... The 2010 Senior Bowl resulted in the Jim Schwartz led North team ... evaluating how these college players adjust to NFL rules and how they ... The rules of this college all-star stipulate that there will be no blitzing. ...

Grade: B-

Hard to disagree w/ this analysis. I actually am inclined to give the FO an A because I think had we traded back the oline situation would be far more tenuous for the season. Of course, this assumes TW is the real deal and basically has a Chris Samuels type of career (btw i think it's fantastic Chris is there as coach/mentor), but anyway the main idea is there were only a few franchise LT prospects this year and I believe they were gone by the middle of the 1st round, with Baluga going to SF. Beyond TW and Okung tho it seemed like a pretty big drop off in talent.

He played more LT in the senior bowl, and he went against other rushers besides graham. Kiper said on draft day, that the reason his stock fell so badly was because of the senior bowl. He said he got owned by about every rusher that came his way. Look through some of the other highlights, and you'll see for yourself.
