Draft wrap-up 2013

The Amerson pick surprised me, I mean I knew he was on our radar but didn't think we'd actually take him

Expected Reed and Thomas (though I didn't expect Thomas to fall that far) and very pleased with both

Couldn't believe Rambo was there in the 6th, I'm not his biggest fan but hard to pass up that late

I'm thrilled we added a big time playmaker in Chris Thompson, just hope he can stay healthy

Jamison was one of my favorite players in college but I'm not expecting him to do more than spell Morris and help on 3rd downs, which is exactly what we need

I'm really glad they didn't waste time drafting OL

I wish they had drafted a slot WR

Who was the CB pick taken ahead of us that we wanted? Or was Amerson always the pick at CB? WR was obviously not the pick at 2nd, because options were plentiful when we picked.

I think we're going to be very happy with him as a 3-4 OLB. He can really get after the passer.

He could be a pass rush specialist in '13 and become a little more versatile as he goes on. Great value where we got him. Imagine him and Rak coming off of the same edge or Rak & Kerrigan coming off one side and Jenkins the other. The ultimate upside is if we can generate a pass rush with 4-5 rather than sending the house, it allows us to do more on the back end to cover.

Our front seven (when healthy) was already in the upper third of the league, if our rookie DBs develop over the next couple of seasons we could be looking at a top 10 offense and defense. Gotta love that.

I'm most excited about amerson and reed, both will be very productive this season IMO.

Breaking Down Redskins Draft Pick Running Back Chris Thompson - Hogs Haven (http://www.hogshaven.com/2013/4/28/4279026/breaking-down-redskins-draft-pick-running-back-chris-thompson)

Jeez I hope this guy can get to 100% by the beginning of the season. He's exactly what we need.

Basically they didn't even talk about us lol. Herm said dallas , jaws said NYG and mel said Philly. Lmao so we go 10-6 and it's a fluke I guess. I love redskins haters

I think that their predictions may be based on their perceptions of RGIII's injury status. They may believe that RGIII won't be able to go until later in the season. I also suspect that some of them think that he won't be the same player after his latest knee injuries. Possibly, they think that the Skins will be far more conservative in the way they use RGIII from now on and, because of that, they will be less effective on offense.

Is anyone going to do a thread on each draftee? We did that last year it was kind of neat especially when we re-visit the threads through out the football year to see how they are developing.

A lot of you have probably heard about this by now in regards to our 3 new DB's. However it's nice to see it in pictures.

That was a good idea. Why dont you go ahead and do that?

And Trent really "earned his money" playing through pain last year. I think the team is pretty much set. Start assigning jersey numbers!

And I really appreciate that Trent played through pain. However the fact that it was serious enough to be an issue worth mentioning scares me, a lot in fact. Hopefully he's fully healed going into next year.
