With the 17 pick, the Washington Redskins select...

i've been conditioned to doubt white rbs over the last several decades.



it seems that for every danny woodhead, there are several toby gerharts.



I cannot even think of another one since Riggins besides those two. Lol. Alstott but he was a fb.

What did he praise him for? Perhaps it was for landing a snappy combination of punches on the face of an innocent young woman whom he and his buddies were harassing and intimidating. I don't want to ever see him in a Redskins uniform.



Yeah i do not want that head-case anywhere near our team.

I really hope we don't take a RB. Backs can always be found in the middle and later rounds.

You are correct. RB's and WR's are a dime a dozen. Look at this Years free agency, Adrian Peterson, Desean Jackson, Pierre Garçon.
Every year is the same thing. We got Pierre and Desean for nothing. Why spend a valuable 17th pick on a running back?

If foster is there and we don't take him I'll cry, maybe the next ray lewis.

Pick 17 my thoughts:

I want someone that can come in help the defense day 1.

This draft is supposed to be deep at CB, S and Edge rusher.

I want to help the DL but the only DL prospect that might be worthy of pick 17 has someone questions marks that turn me off. I like McDowell, talented kid, but too many question marks for me and I wouldn't want to force the picks.

The biggest area of weakness in my eyes is the pass defense and the weakest area of the pass coverage more then pass rush although pass rush is always a need. I would want the highest rated CB, S or Edge rusher on the board:

Tre'Davious White CB
Gareon Conley CB
Takkarist McKinley Edge
Haason Reddick ILB/OLB
Derek Barnett Edge

----------------------------------------------------

If the FO knows they can't/won't sign Kirk to a long term deal I want a QB either Watson or Trubisky. Although I like some of the other QBs these are the only QBs I would take at 17.

I've asked this before and I'll ask it again. We all know Cleveland needs a QB badly. The only reason they won't take one with the first pick is not one of them is rated that highly and Garrett is too good to pass up. If they were willing to give up their #1 pick for Cousins, who I personally want to keep, and their other #1 or 2nd pick for him, would you make that deal? We get Garrett and possibly Watson. Let Colt play this year while our other 2 learn. If I had any idea wtf Bruce was doing it would help, but I dont. As far as I'm concerned he's messed this up as much as much as possible.

Could Redskins draft the next Kirk Cousins to replace him? (http://was.247sports.com/Bolt/Could-Redskins-draft-the-next-Kirk-Cousins-to-replace-him-52305608)

Today I was listening to the SiriusXM NFL channel on my way home from work; Jim Miller and Pat Kirwan completed a live two round mock draft. They had the Redskins trading back to the 25th pick of the first round (compensation: 2017 and 2018 3rd round draft picks) and selecting LB Zach Cunningham. In the second round, they had the Skins selecting DL Caleb Brantley.
I would be happy with those draft picks in the first two rounds. McCaffrey, Cook and Fournette were gone before pick 17; trading back was a smart move.

Pat Kirwan and Jim Miller completed another two round mock draft on SiriusXM NFL Radio today. They had us selecting Ohio State CB Gareon Conley with our first round pick, then selecting Tennessee RB Alvin Kamara the second round pick. They also had us trading our 2017 5th round pick to the Jets for Sheldon Richardson. If Richardson can stay out of trouble with off the field issues, I like the trade.

I would be happy w/ Kamar too but don't think he'll have the impact on this squad S compared to DL or Edge rusher.

In the first round, if there is a clear-cut choice of BPA then I believe you need to go with the player who could become a star; however, if it is close between two players, then you might want to go with the one who plays a position of greater need.

I believe that the best thing we could do for our team in this draft would be to improve our talent up the middle. By that I mean at NT/DT, ILB, and safety. In FA we signed some help in each of those areas but we need more.

That brings me to the players you mentioned. I think Haason Reddick might well be the BPA at #17 and that meshes with what I think is our primary need on defense, so I'd pick him. In fact, I would pick him over Reuben Foster.

It's never a bad thing to pick a top-notch CB, so I'd have no problem with that.

As for the edge rushers, I think #17 would probably be high for Tak McKinley because he is raw and needs some time to work on his technique with NFL coaches. He is a fast, powerful athlete with a good motor, so he could be very good in time.

I would not draft Barnett at all. He's too slow for me and I don't think he'll be able to beat NFL OT's.

I'd make that trade, as well. We need to understand that Richardson is in a contract year and would probably be a rental. That's OK because he should be motivated to have a great season and if he becomes a problem for the team they can simply cut him.
