Kudos to the Skins 2011 Draft

Very true that you all say we should 'hold off' before we say this was a good draft. But 75% of our draft picks made our roster this year. That hasn't happend in quite some time.

Plus you look at last years draft and you have:
Trent Williams- our LT for the next 10 years @least
Perry Riley- Good depth player and STer
Terrence Austin- Has shown promise
Erik Cook- made our roster as depth at C

Dennis Morris and Selvish Capers are our only bust picks.

Ummmm, I think we had 100% draft retention in 2008. You know, that really bad draft class....

For reference: SI.com - 2008 NFL Draft - Washington Redskins Draft Picks (http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/2008/draft/teams/redskins.html)

Glad they finally got it but they should've done this when they took over. These guys have to get on the field and play regular season games before we know anything. Got to give it a couple of years before we know if this is a good draft. But I like the direction they're going in.

Amen.....Brother

So far so good for this draft class.

We are heading in the right direction.

It's been 30 years since 1981.

I would be thrilled if Kerrigan and Jenkins turned into the defensive equivalent of Mark May and Russ Grimm.

vinny kept his entire last draft, which was also pretty big... and 2 years later fred davis is the last (and only) man standing... so let's make sure they can play first ;).

The 2008 class had an entirely different feel to it. The general response from the fan community was "WTF???" Very much a Vinny draft. In 2011, we had solid picks from pretty much top to bottom. Interestingly, the pick I rremember everyone grousing about was Jenkins b/c of his poor reps in the weight room.

Hmmm. Maybe this group watched tape, instead of headlines, to do their draft research.

I refuse to use the word "kudos" unless I grow a pony tail or a uterus.

and Rob Jackson. Who has looked pretty beastly in preseason. --- Just a random thought, how's this for 3rd down & long 4-3 set: Kerrigan, Orakpo at DE, Cofield, Bowen at DT; Fletcher MLB w/ Jackson and White outside.

Let the offenses try to figure where the pressure is going to come from.
