Redskin Mock Draft I Conducted Online

[SkinsfanNTX]

I recently was a part of a team of other online GM's and just completed a seven round draft. I chose the Redskins and was responsible for trades and draft selections for my favorite team. I did make the following trades in the draft:

Jason Campbell QB to Buffalo for their #3 (72) and #6 (192 from Buffalo)

#2 (37) to Houston for their #2 (51) and #4 (118)

Clifton Portis RB to San Diego for their #5 (159)

Here is the seven round draft I conducted for the Redskins:

REDSKINS
1-4 Russell Okung ot Oklahoma State 6'5 307 5.18 (LT starter)
2-51 Colt McCoy qb Texas 6'1 216 4.79 (can push as starting QB)
3-72 Kyle Calloway ot Iowa 6'7 323 5.46 (RT starter)
4-103 Akwasi Owusu-Ansah cb IUP 6'0 207 4.32 (nickel CB/FS punt returner)
4-118 Jordan Shipley wr Texas 5'11 193 4.57 (slot receiver punt returner)
5-135 Thaddeus Gibson olb Ohio State 6'2 243 4.78 (3-4 OLB who can rush)
5-159 Deji Karim rb Southern Illinois 5'9 209 4.37 (FCS back with great skill)
6-192 Travis Goethel ilb Arizona State 6'3 240 4.58 (ILB prospect ST player)
7-211 Doug Worthington de Ohio State 6'5 296 4.89 (rotation lineman 3-4 E)

What are your feelings on this draft for Washington? Did we improve the team? Thanks.

im a lil confused buddy. did you trade JC and our 2nd rounder for the bills 3rd and 6th rounder? im guessin it was JC for their 3rd and 6th and you just hadnt put up the draft choices.

Insane mock draft, none of it would ever happen. We downgraded at QB at least for this season and were ripped off for CP.

I like the Okung pick at least.

[diehardskin2982]

Imo this draft made us worst, sorry. Under this scenario our starting QB would be either Colt McCoy or Rex Grossman behind two rookie tackles. We would have Larry Johnson as our starting RB with no depth behind him except Deji Karim, PJ Hill and Anthony Aldridge. No trades propositions came about for Carter?

my badd also Colt Brennan

[CRedskinsRule]

Okung is obviously good.

Not quite sure where you are saying you got Colt, if it was the 51st pick, I would say there is very little chance that he would last that long, and I can't see us trading down from the 37th if we want McCoy.

I agree with Buster that CP for a 5th would be terrible on our end.

That said, the players you chose would all be good additions(don't know the 5th-7th round guys though)

There's going to be a lot of upset warpathers come draft day.

[rbanerjee23]

wow...I don't think you did a good thing trading away JC. You can't put a rookie q behind a shiteous offensive line and expect to be okay. We may as well have kept JC and upgraded the offensive line.

Whatthe OP neglected to mention was that he was also the GM for the Bills, Texans, and Chargers.

If in the end we end up with Okung or Stafford the rest should sort itself out. The worst scenario is really
Rams-Bradford
Lions-Okung
TB- Suh

but even that I think that would give us a decent opportunity to trade down, and pick up an extra pick from someone, or leave us with a top DT/LT. Overall I can't see people being upset with the top of this draft.

No I wrote it wrong it was Campbell for Buffalo's 3rd and 6th.

[SmootSmack]

I'm cool with the selections of Okung, McCoy, and Calloway (big Calloway fan, I'd love him as a 3rd round RT)

The rest of the draft is ok, I guess. Karim is a bit of a sleeper

I don't see Spiller, Snead, Skelton, or Charles Brown here though...so I have to give you an F

Come the second round I was focused on taking Tebow or McCoy, so I traded down with the Texans hoping one or the other would be there later at that point. Tebow was gone but McCoy was still on board. The interest in Campbell was rather light but I was able to get two picks for his services and felt Grossman, Brennan, and McCoy could fight it out as the starter. Okung and Calloway, although rookies, could man the important tackle spots both could be 10 year starters. Portis was very expensive so all I could get for him was a 5th rounder and OT Jeremey Clary who could push Calloway at RT. The 4th rounder brought me two guys who can return punts in Ansah and Shipley. AOA also has the ability to play CB or FS and could be a great addition to the secondary. Shipley will play the slot formation and provide nice insurance for McCoy. The Karim kid will get some carries between Johnson, Hill, and Aldridge. Gibson and Goethel are new players for the 3-4 scheme at OLB and ILB. Goethel can also help out on special teams. Worthington is a big body who can rotate at DE in the 3-4.

I think if a goal of the Redskins in round #2 was to get Tebow or McCoy they would not be able to make that trade down to #51. I don't think either will be there...particuarly McCoy.

7 picks, and only 2 offensive lineman. no thanks
