I think that's where Edwin Williams comes in. Atleast I hope so.

Please, please, please, let's use every other 2010 pick on the offensive line. At least the #1 and #2.

More likely it seals Orakpo at RE instead of LE long term. Jarmon on the other hand is our Daniels reincarnated. I love though how they're infusing youth on the D-Line. Now if they could only do the same thing on the O-Line. It looks though like either Daniels or Wynn is going to be released before the season starts. Still it's awesome considering the youth movement we got on the D-line. We now have five guys under 28 that will be contributing for years to come (Orakpo, Jarmon, Monty, Kedric, and Haynesworth).

From the RI blog based on what that scout said, a 3rd for this guy was expected. Going into it I thought 3rd was too high, but Vinny tends to rate some players much higher than the nfl scouting norm, so I'm not too surprised.

In most years 3rd round has a lot of good players that make teams & start eventually. As was mentioned by several others this is like an advance on the draft, so if he can play this year that's a serious bonus. If he can play next year it's still a bonus.

Right on. We went into the offseason needing youth and talent upgrades on both lines. The DL has now been refurbished in a good way. Although our OL still makes me nervous, you can't fix everything in one offseason I guess.

Well we do know that he'll make the team. All of Godfather Vinnie's picks make the team. I don't know anything about this guy but hey if he is 2nd round talent, great. It is a need for our team.

Interesting move. Hope it pays off.

from reading up on jarmon some it seems we and the eagles were the 2 most interested teams. we pick ahead of the eagles in the supplemental so we probably thought we had to use our 3rd b/c the eagles would offer their 3rd.

read that he can play DT or DE with his mix of size and speed.

jarmon was the only player selected in the supplemental draft.

go skins!!

The guy obviously has some talent. Hopefully it works out well for us and he can eventually take over left end as CRedskinRule suggested. If not, let's trade him to the Dolphins for a second round pick.

Wynn is done anyway, and buzbee is a bumb! This kid might be something you never know, plus he will come in and bust it because he won't have another chance in the league if the skins don't keep him.

For a 3rd rounder this kid better not only make the team but he better be ready to contribute right away. Anyone have any idea of where he would have gone had he gone into the regular draft?

RI said 3rd, maybe 2nd & that Vinny & crew had him rated as 2nd.

I like the pick - just comparing him to another SEC talent Robert Ayers I think Jarmon stacks up pretty well:

According to Gil Brandt here is Jarmon's pro day:
Supplemental draft features some players to watch

Jarmon held a Pro Day on July 9 and ran indoors on FieldTurf. He posted a 4.8-second 40-yard dash, had a 31-inch vertical jump, a 9-foot, 9-inch broad jump, a 4.28 short shuttle, a 7.38 three-cone drill and did 19 reps at 225 pounds on the bench press. He looked very good in positional drills.

Now here is Robert Ayers pro day stats:
Robert Ayers | Tennessee, DE : 2009 NFL Draft Scout Player Profile


Combine:
Height: 6031
Weight: 272
40 Yrd Dash: 4.77
225 Lb. Bench Reps: 18
Vertical Jump: 29 1/2
Broad Jump: 08'06"

Pro Day:
20 Yrd Shuttle: 4.46
3-Cone Drill: 7.07

They also had similar stats: Jarmon had 3 1/2 sacks, 5 hurries and 10 tackles for loss in 2008, while Ayers had 3 sacks, 5 hurries and 17 tackles for loss. The last stat is the big differentiator, but here is another: Jarmon had 9 sacks, 3 hurries and 16 TFLs in 2007 vs. Ayers' 4 sacks, 3 hurries and 13 TFLs.

So if the Broncos used the 18th pick in the first round on Ayers while the Skins used a third rounder on Jarmon I think we did pretty well...

good info Bill B

The supplemental draft is supposed to be "bargain shopping" you should be able to get Day 1 talent with Day 2 picks. If you rate a guy as a 2nd round talent, then you want to pick him in the 4th round or later in my opinion. I think that this was a reach and I hope that I am not bitching about it still in April.

[MTK]

Sounds like the Lions were ready to take him at the top of the 4th.
