Redskins Made Smart Choice With Kerrigan

Didn't Rak make the switch ok?

Kerrigan will be fine.

With Redskins, Kerrigan lands in 'perfect' situation - The Insider - The Washington Post (http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/football-insider/post/with_redskins_kerrigan_lands_in_perfect_situation/2011/04/29/AFNxQGFF_blog.html?wprss=football-insider)

how can you not love this pick? or at least like it.

I trust his opinion

I just hope Haslett is finally smart enough to move Lorenzo Alexander to ILB next to London. If so and with the addition of Kerrigan, we will no longer be ranked near the bottom against run like we were last year. If we replace Golsten with a legit NFL 3-4 DE that will complete our transition into being a good 3-4 defense. I still see Golsten as the weak link. He is a good back up and good as a pass rusher, but weak against the run.
3-4 defensive linemen have to be able to stop the run or else catastrophe like 2010.

For me, the real wildcard is Jeremy Jarmon. He's battled injuries and losing/gaining weight (per team request). Will he finally step up as a factor this year?

The trade down is crucial--we need live bodies, especially on D.

As for Kerrigan, I like what I've read, but, as with any pick, there are no sure things.

Given what we know today (and that's all that we can take into account here), it's an A.

(And, to be honest, I'm just glad we didn't shit the bed as we have so often in the recent past. We did the obvious thing. Trade down in a deep draft and pick up help for our woeful D. It's an A for the skins. Just being normal is awesome!)

Something about draft day that can revive that old fan magic and make you a believer all over again.

Amen brother, Amen..

I gave it a B. Kerrigan is a starter for sure, just wish we were in a 4-3 to use him in. I still rather have Orakpo and now Kerrigan play the position the were drafted in.

lets just wait and see........... AJ Hawk, was suppose to be a stud, and he is a sub par player.......... they got it right with Clay Matthews, but he is rare..... there arent many clays out there.
