If any team out there was willing to trade for him, we would have gotten something for him.
The fact that nobody would even give up a 7th rounder for him says 2 things: the rest of the league agrees with Shanahan, and/or they knew he was going to be cut so there's no use in trading for him.
Anything higher than a 7th rounder would have been a pipe dream anyway. The guy hasn't done squat.
Yeah, the guy was on the block for awhile and no takers. It just goes to show you how pathetic our overall roster is.

I thought he was somewhat unfairly put in the doghouse during OTAs for not being there all the time (and dropping passes didnt help I suppose) but he also came to the park before OTAs even started to get reps in and he was staying late each night. So maybe he just wasnt good enough

I wonder who they'll replace him with. Howard Green?

Not surprised nor am I that pissed at Vinny.
If you look at that 2008 second round--there are some real duds at WR; Jerome Simpson, Dexter Jackson, Limas Sweed, James Hardy. Only stud thus far is Desean Jackson. So it wasn't just the Skins that botched those WR evaluations. They just did it twice...

Eddie Royal was also a stud.

I'm wondering if Banks is going to take over at this spot too? I feel much more comfortable with him on KO rather than punts just because if he drops it (which I hope is behind him) he has time to pick it up and run without a huge disaster.

Banks or Simpson.
I don't care. I'm just glad it's not Thomas. He's provided nill on offense as a WR and on his KR's it seemed he bobbled every catch. I think in the last game he bobbled and dropped it in the end zone, picked it up, and only got to the 26 yrd line. You don't want your KR bobbling all the time.

2008 - WORST draft in Redskins history. The pundits who rate drafts the day after should look back after 3 years to reevaluate. This would warrant an F-minus if that is possible. I'm just completely disgusted. Thanks Dan and Vinny. You set the franchise back at least another year since we will undoubtedly address WR via FA or another high draft choice after the season.

I wouldnt say it was the worst as that year we also got Fred Davis, Kareem Moore, and Chris Horton with the last 2 being 5th and 7th round picks. The team has done an average to great job drafting in the first round, 5th-7th round picks, and finding gems through UDFA the last few years but the 2nd thru 4th rounds seem to be a huge collection of wasted picks in that same time frame.
