79th Pick: Leonard Hankerson - WR - Miami

Huge Steal; Great value; Many scouts thought he was a sure 2nd pick, some even the 3rd best WR behind Jones. I compare him to Reggie Wayne Leonard Hankerson, Miami (Fla.), NFL Draft - CBSSports.com - NFLDraftScout.com (http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/draft/players/1272283/leonard-hankerson) Round 3, Pick 15: Washington Redskins - 2011 NFL Draft - NFL - Sporting News (http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/draft/2011/round/3/pick/15)

Really, really like this pick -- McShay mentioned that he was surprised to see him last this long; projected to go much higher.

I can't remember the last time I was this satisfied with a draft by the Redskins. Trading down, amassing more picks, filling needs. Of course, when you have so many needs, it's hard to be disappointed with the selections.

Not a 'showboater' either. Scores a TD, acts like it's no big deal. I like it.

That much is true....and it's highly doubtful the previous watch would have been custodial over this degree of preperation.

It's plain to see this guy has raw talent. His highlight reel ^ is testament.

..Or his name lol.

Kelly's gone now cause of us drafting LH. Hankerson btw is one of the steals of the draft, IMO. He can make some nice catches.

I don't think so. We are too thin at WR otherwise. If MK can be healthy, we'll keep both.

Of course, if MK can't be healthy, he's gone, Hankerson or not.

I don't care about celebrating Touchdowns. Actually I prefer it when guys celebrate scores. It creates energy and excitement which in many cases helps add to any momentum generated. What I HATE, absolutely hate, is when guys run away from teammates and/or ignore them to perform some stupid premeditated routine (and yes I understand the excessive celebration penalties, but you're still allowed to hug teammates, high five each other, and even do a chest bump or two on your way back to the sidelines.

Genunie emotion and excitement is great during celebrations. Weird dances and ignoring teammates is not (great).

Like this. Not only do you take your sweet ass time getting to the end zone but then you go with that dance?

I firmly believe this was a great value pick. I"m stoked about having another WR threat not named Galloway or Roydell on our team.

I like what Sporting News Draft Magazine had on his interview:

Bottom Line: Hankerson started two years at Miami and had a dominant senior year, breaking Michael Irvin's record for receiving touchdowns in a season (13). He continued his solid play during the Senior Bowl, where he had a game-high 99 receiving yards and a touchdown. He should go late in the first or early in the second and will be a first-year starter as a pro, provided Hankerson can improve his route-running consistancy.

They asked him ....

Q-What do you say to your detractors who don't believe you have the necessary speed to make it in the NFL?
A-I'll say one thing: I don't know if I've ever been caught from behind.

This was an awsome pick. I know many won't want to want the team to jump on another WR since we need NT, OL, and possibly CB or FS. I would totally understand, but there are still other WR's on the board with similar size and speed to Hankerson who might be a good thought...

Owen Spencer
Niles Paul
Terrence Toliver
James Cleveland
Tandon Doss
Darvin Adams
Keith Smith
Ryan Whalen
Tori Gurley
Carl Moore

again I know you all will think I'm Vinny, but we are talking about our new WR and I figured I'd just throw some other names out there who are of similar height, weight and speed. I'm not saying we have to grab another just pointing out that there are others maybe just as good. Maybe burn a late draft pick on one or look to see if any are UDFA's to invite to camp to try out.

I take Barry Sander's stance on this. Act like you've been there before.
