Draft talk rounds 4-7

[FRPLG]

The deal with the rbs is this...shanny drafted them. That means they can play rb in the NFL.

True, but if you have proven talent, why discard it? Jamison looks rather versatile though. He could be our version of Jamie Morris or Darren Sproles. Hopefully our moves with the line will help keep our line tops!

No I hope he is unfazed by them and continues to throw them without worrying about it.

I don't know anything about Jameson to really say anything at this point. Big East ball doesn't get much play here in MI.

Royster didn't do much at all last year IMO.

People were saying the same thing last year with Morris.

Not questioning the actual picks. Is our backfield that suspect that we needed 2 RBs though? That is the heart of the debate.

I really like the reed pick for us specifically. He'll be a nice target for kirk/bob and part of a matchup nightmare scheme.

Helu hasn't been able to stay healthy and what has Royster done to cement a spot?

I'm all for bringing in more playmakers.

Value picks at that point. They'll play teams if they make the team. Plus really royster was ehhh last year and helu can't be counted on.

I thought he did decent enough for us as a backup. The RB picks aren't bad, but like RGIII stated, you could put anybody behind our starting line and they will be good. Just like Shanny in Denver.

What I like a lot is that we really didn't reach anywhere.

The right anybodies. Both guys have skillsets that match the zbs and do something good like catch the ball (Thompson) and pass protect (Jamison)

[That Guy]

i'm happy with day 3. if shanny drafts an RB... I approve. that's it. doesn't matter if i don't know them or no one's heard about them, he's proved he's the smartest guy in the world in regards to late round RBs.

and behind morris we got nothing. we'd have helu, if he could stay healthy.

really happy with day 3. rambo in the 6th is good value, and 3 DBs that could potentially start this year is great. I really think our FO did a great job of addressing our needs this offseason. future TE/TE #2 and RB #2 are important for flexibility and i think pashos and the 4 new DBs should really help us with our pass D.

What this guy says, Oh and if Shanny picks a rb then count me in on default

Reed I think fits more what we want to be than what we are.

I think that consistent with what we've done over the last few years, the Redskins have given draft value early, and gotten it late, if that makes sense. I think the Redskins are just typically very picky with who they get early in the draft, but later in the draft, they open it up a lot and typically get a lot of value.
