Tom Compton pick 6.23

Strong and athletic. Seems like the FO is adjusting a bit and realized that the goal line punch-ins don't work if you totally undervalue strength in linemen too much.

This is definitely a steal in the 6th round. His credentials and history should have had this guy picked much earlier.

Looks to be a heck of a pick in rd 6 ! Between Compton , W. Smith and F/A Lee , we should end up with some nice depth and hopefully future starter/s .

TC could turnout to be a BIG time steal strong, FB smart, & long arms.

Reading the reports it wouldn't surprise me if Compton not only started at RT but did a pretty good job. Hopefully he never has to play LT.

I expect them to keep 8 or 9 OL on the roster, though after last year I'm guessing they'll go with 9. Hopefully all 3 rookies make the team.

Weirdest part of this whole draft was for 3 picks when the Redskins took someone I was expecting to see S, WR, TE, or LB and when I saw a G or T next to the name it took me a second to process what position they played because a lot of times I wasn't really expecting them to take a lineman.

Bravo Bruce Allen bravo. You told us the line was important when you were hired back in fall 2009 and you have now drafted more OL in 3 years then Vinny did over the course of a 9 year reign of terror.

Wow, that is a completely ridiculous and completely expected statistic.

I covered Compton throughout his career at the University of South Dakota and the pre-draft process. He needs to get in the weight room, but he should definitely make an impact at some point. He could probably help out at guard immediately.

Thanks for the info.
