Funny I wonder what they were expecting from the 5th rd on? Blades? I can't complain about that pick, saw some highlights, the kid is a player. Not expecting much from the rest, but considering what we had to work with I will take those 2 and be happy, although we should have drafted Crosby.
You would be hard pressed to find some one more criticle than I when it comes to personel moves by us, but I was impressed with the fact they were able to resist the temptation to draft DL when none of these guys will be as good at thier positions as Landry will be at his. And yes he does fill a huge need, there is a reason AA was ripped constantly by most of us here last season, it wasen't because he wasen't playing a position of significance, we found out how significant a safety is especially in williams defense.
Right now I am more concerned with who will play left guard than the play of a healthy D-line. Williams has what he needs on defense now he can bring pressure from other areas so long as we can now cover in the secondary.

I am shocked and awed, that.....this .....day, has come. I agree with O's post!
While I do not put much stock in the opinions of the avalanche of media ninny's that load the airwaves with their jackassery of stupidity, note the following. Mel K. Jr is one I consider knowledgeable.
I was listening to the ESPN overnight, last night in Mel K. jr interview about, HOW the Redskins draft could be rated above numerous other teams with a full range of picks?
MK responded that the Skins had a good draft with a GREAT pick of Landry in the first, being the "best D pick" avaliable in the draft. "They also certainly took care of some depth (if not some starting help) in the later rounds with some savvy picks". "Had they had a full compliment of picks, they would have been near the top in my opinion".
Good to hear from MK.
