Redskins 2013 Draft News & Rumors

Neither one has Cyprien or Swearinger falling to us and Kiper even has Shamarko Thomas coming off the board before our pick. The picks?

Kiper: Kevin Minter


I guess he forgot we have Perry Riley and Keenan Robinson. I don't see us taking an ILB this high.

Scouts, Inc: Johnthan Banks, CB, Mississippi State

No explanation from Scouts, Inc.

I'm more intrigued by the Banks pick than Minter, obviously, but I feel like I'm going to be sick to my stomach should neither Swearinger or Cyprien (who is almost guaranteed to be gone) fall to us.

Another quick highlight: Scouts, Inc has the Bengals taking Tyrann Mathieu at 53. I found that interesting.

a player who has yet to take the next step in production, and a player who has yet to start for us; Seeing that the Dolphins just took Dion Jordan when they already have Wake, Vernon and Oderick is a great example of why we can't assume teams won't take certain players. Just because a player isn't viewed as a need in our eye, doesn't mean they aren't a need in that teams eye.

Also supposedly we aren't high on Banks, because he's a cover 2 CB and we play man and cover 3.

Sure, they could take him, but I'm pretty sure we took Keenan Robinson to be the heir apparent to London Fletcher, so giving up on him after one year seems silly. Also, I'd say that 129 tackles from Riley is pretty solid, so saying "he has yet to take the next step in production" might be a bit of an exaggeration.

Also, the Dolphins pick was a bit of a head scratcher, much like the rest of their terrible to mediocre offseason. If we make a similar pick to that, not saying Minter is similar, I'm not going to be very happy

I would say Riley has stepped up and made plays for us.

I still think we may go WR. Especially if Cyprien & Swearinger is gone.

I remember when they made this format change a few years ago, I thought this second day would be an intriguing day, as every team can catch it's breath between the 1st and 2nd round. It would not shock me to see a lot of quick snap trades in the works if certain players fall early on. I still don't know what player I am most hoping for, but in the end, I just want our FO to be on top of things and not looking like lost puppies, or kid show hosts.

I know we´re in the mode of ´draft picks are gold´ but I´d see if Cyprien/Swearinger are still sitting at around 42-46 I'd see if someone would take our 2nd and 5th for their 2nd or if Wheaton or the right WR falls if NE would give us their own 2nd round pick (59) for our 3rd and 5th. That way we'd potentially pick up two starters and since we have an extra 5th, we would still have a full draft class.

I agree sometimes its worth a late pick to move up.

This should help out in signing our draftees.

@granthpaulsen: RT @ZacBoyer: #Redskins have restructured Josh Wilson's contract and will save $2M against the cap this season, according to league source.

Or Orakpo's extension.

We're drafting a WR for sure...we just lost Darius Hanks.

Just in time to be late.

Perfect fit for Dallas.

Hell I was thinking we can probably trade back with San Fran since they are trying to get rid of picks and they can get a TE like Ertz or Escobar and we can get a couple of additional picks and maybe the whole Swearinger/Rambo/Mathieu crowd can all be happy!

Hilarious that Te'o got his own bubble for 'Fake Dead Girlfriend'.
