KFFL - Redskins draft grade D-

opinions are like a-holes, we all have them and some of them stink more than others

of course the problem with the article is that the guy fails to recognize that Gibbs will be turning the "fullbacks" into an H-back and short-yardage back. I think he's a little too hung up on the name "fullback".

Good point. Plus a big reason they were selected was to shore up special teams, and aside from the kicker, punter, holder, and returner, everyone essentially plays the same position on special teams-whether you're a WR, CB, FB, whatever

LOL!!! Couldn't agree more....

This is exactly what I was thinking when I read this. Gibbs is hoping he can convert at least one of those FB's into a quality H-Back. I didn't love the Redskins draft but that guy who wrote that review doesn't know what the hell he's talking about.

I'm wondering what will be said about the redskins when we DO have a winning season.
will it be a fluke? will our front office still be scrutinized? I could care less about hacks like this guy. Just like all the pinheads saying Gibbs was one and done.

If everyone is like the one guy I know from KFFL they all love the Chargers and hate the skins. I think we were in the bottom half of the draft, but not the very worst. I feel we got real quality players in Rogers, Campbell, and McCune. I don't like how the first round went, but those are still two very talented players (and I think we very well may have gotten THE BEST DB in the draft.)

It's just another reason to pile up on the Washington Redskins. If the Redskins have a great season, the very same guys will be praising the team's moves during the off-season.

the pats get a b- even though they picked up 6 players with no possible starters among them and maybe 1 that will see a decent amount of playing time this year (Ellis hobbs - CB 2nd round)

we get a d- even though we have 2 possible starters (MLB, CB) and another that'll see a bunch of playing time (short yardage)... we spent 4 picks on 2 positions, but i figure thats mainly because the hit rate during the 2nd day is so much lower that we could use some insurance...

I agree that the KFFL guy is a bit off, but I'm not sure that comparing our draft grade w/the Pats' grade is the best evidence. Given last season's results, does it really mean much that their draft picks aren't likely to start and ours are? Shouldn't a 6-10 team naturally have more upgrading to do than the reigning champs?

My thought on who had the best draft goes like this, Chargers, cowboy's, and I really like what the Jet's did, the Jets you ask? ADDRESSED THEIR NEED'S!

We also have to remember - KFFL looks through things with a fantasy football twist. That's why our defense is ranked 7th or 8th on their list. We're a good defense, but not great as far as fantasy points are concerned.
