Redskins 1st Round Pick: WR Josh Doctson (TCU)

[TheMalcolmConnection]

I, for one, welcome our new WR overlord.



Love the pick.

[Alvin Walton]

I'm thinking the Norman signing gave us the luxury of taking the BPA/WR.
I wanted Eli Apple all along anyways....
So now we have two young WRs (Doctson/Crowder) *Check*
As others have stated I gotta believe our next pick or picks is a DT.
This didnt go how I thought but I feel a lot better about our offense right now.

Basically one of them is gone for the start of 2017. Possibly both. Of course if DJax has durability concerns than he will be gone. If he stays relatively healthy though he is the keeper of the two. He isnt going to slow down that much that quick. Hell he could actually lose a step and still be faster than most of the guys on the field.

Apple might turn out to be great for the Giants, but damn, I think it was so stupid to pass on Hargreaves.

With the Norman signing we got the D jump started. I really like this pick. Think about it ..how many of you are tired of D Jax drama? think he will skip mini camp now ? folks were calling for his head last year with the selfish punt return drama. I believe that Scott will get the Dline help we need in the next few days..Signing Josh Norman was like having 2 number one picks. there is not a college CB coming into this draft who would be better than him next year. PLUS we got a top WR ..whats not to like!!

Out of the two, Jackson is also the one most likely to be worth a round pick in a trade (if there is market).

Its so funny with D Jax. Ive never seen a guy go from hero to zero and back so frequently. Lol. Im totally guilty of it myself.

I'm more concern about DJax durability than any so called "drama." His trademark is speed, and as Matty said, he'll likely lose a step pretty soon.

Yeah I don't get it either.

Alot of need picks pushed alot of the DL to the second round, and I think the skins are taking advantage of that. I'm guessing we cut someone this year tho.

Yeah Grant and Roberts.

[MTK]

Roberts will be gone as soon as he's cleared, Grant should be back.

DJax first year with the Skins had 13 receptions of 40+ yards. 13. Doubled up the next guy. Was injured last year, but I think experience and scheme can make up for a lost step. Usually naturally fast dudes don't just stop being fast. You cant just go out and find another Desean.

Yeah I guess he is the fifth guy. Ross is gone too than.

Even if he loses a step, DJax still has the speed to be the needed deep threat that Garcon just isn't. Unless DJax just completely drops off in ability (i.e. speed), safeties will not be crowding the line like they will with Garcon.

Love Garcon's toughness. He and DJax are a solid 1A/1B WR pairing b/c they bring different things to the table. However, as the old adage says, you can't teach speed.

I am betting DJax has a couple more speedy years in him and, unless they find that same speed elsewhere, he's sticking. Scot will find more solid, tough guys like Garcon. They can be gotten through UFA's or drafting. Speed, however, comes at a premium.

Doctson looks great and, hopefully, he works out. However, he is not a speed demon (4.5 40) and is unlikely to take the top off a D. Crowder is the definition of a slot receiver - small & quick but without top-end speed. So until we pay or draft a speed guy, DJax is going to be the guy we rely on to attack the back end of a D.

Will the Doctor is not a speed demon, but he does seem to play faster than he times.
