Gavin Escobar is a name shooting up draft boards. Great hands, supposedly the best for TE in this draft. Only problem is he needs to improve run blocking. But his draft profile sounds a lot like Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzales, formal basketball player with good athleticism and can stretch defenses.

Not good news for Star Lotulelei. I imagine this has killed his draft stock quite a bit. Hopefully it turns out ok.

This reminds me of that lineman a few years ago; heath benedict, they found out he had a heart problem, then he was found dead a few weeks later. Hopefully Star is ok and will fix/help/correct whatever is wrong with his heart.

I'm for the stockpiling picks approach. However, since the draft is deep but light at the top, everyone might be looking to trade back. Thus trading down may be harder to do this year.
Since we already have 7 picks I think we're ok as is. Although given this front office's approach in the past I'm sure we'll move around some in the draft.

Te'o has had a horrible day doing his drills. 4.81 & 4.80 FORTY. Looked horrible in the agility drills.
I hope the Giants waste their 1st rnd pick on him. Morris will roll him all day.

I'm also all for this. However if there's a guy on that first round border, like Elam for example, and he's there or a few picks away, I'm all for grading up a few picks or staying put to get that guy.
Like we've said before, besides the fact that this draft has no great QBs, it has pretty much everything else, and it has depth, especially at positions of need for the redskins. I love it. Draft draft draft. This is the biggest sign to the redskins we are in the right direction/ doing something right if everything in the draft the past few years have been great for our needs. The cap penalty is basically another sign to us that we should continue drafting.

Looks like we have another dumbass LSU player that doesn't know how to shut his mouth.

“You know, some weeks when we didn’t have to play the harder teams, there were some times when effort was not needed,” he said.
“But when we had the big boys coming in — the Bamas or the South Carolinas — I grabbed close to those guys and went all-out.”
Not only that, seems many of his coaches killed him about his attitude.
NFL Combine News & Notes: Saturday (http://www.draftinsider.net/blog/?p=6794)
- To expand on a post from yesterday, we’ve been hearing since October that Sam Montgomery/DE/LSU was not receiving rave reviews from his college coaches. More to the point I was told the LSU coaches have been slamming him. Montgomery’s attitude and personality did not sat well with a number of his former teammates or coaches.
Would not touch this kid.
