NFL Draft Thread

The emphasis on RAS seems to be a trend. Cosmi, Forrest, and Butler are all freaky athletes.

Stromberg is a freaky athlete, but not sure if he can hold the line against some of these interior monsters. Reminiscent of Corey Lichtensteiger. Great zone C, could not pass protect at all.

Interesting

Good info, thanks

So looks like the consensus from the draft pundits is not a good draft for the Redskins. Some give them average grades/assessments, but more range in the below average to awful.

I don't worry about media grades the day after the draft. What counts is when the games are played

Yup, but noticed a bunch of folks were ready to cut Fuller, Roullier, etc. during our picks. No way I’m cutting either of these guys

I agree we should be keeping Fuller, need a veteran in that very young group. I think Ron and Co have pretty much moved on from Roullier, he has all but directly stated that Gates is the starting Centre and drafting Stromberg pretty much confirms it. After two such bad injuries it would not surprise me if Roullier retired.

Yeah, you know what really pisses me off is our dead cap charge. And Norwell is the only I guy see for sure they will be cutting. That will put us over 20 millions dollars in just wasted space:

Dead Money
Name Cap Number
William Jackson III $9,000,000
Landon Collins $5,025,000
Bobby McCain $2,800,000
J.D. McKissic $2,000,000
TOTAL $18,988,157

Like who are these morons signing bad fucking players? It’s Ron and company

Like why did we sign McCain just to cut him the following year? Norwell too?

I like how Oline has been a focus, but damn, Roullier is maybe our Olineman when healthy.

They didn't like our draft last year either.

I have seen lots of As and Bs for the draft. Grades are going to be all over the place, including here.

They drafted Secondary and Offensive Line with the first four picks, then grabbed some depth at DE and RB. I'm not overly excited about any of the players, but I'm pretty happy with the positions they drafted. We'll see how they pan out. Still more work to do between now and September.

As you can see... all over the place for various reasons. But in the end, it's meaningless.

[That Guy]

that HH signing trackers shows a lot of WR/DB and very little OL :/ maybe because it's mini-camp focused and that's easier to check without contact?

Defenders to the Championship! Just to distract from some anger in this thread.

Reports, out there that Bieniemy was all in on the 6th round pick Rodriguez. A 6th round pick is hardly a lock to make the roster but Rodriguez's traits may suggest an offensive philosophy.

The scouting report says he is a power runner that grinds yards through contact without much burst or elusiveness. More in the mold of B-Rob than McKissic.

I'm really eager to see what the running game is going to look like with backs we have. Right now, Gibson is our dual threat back and he is anything but a McKissic type. Also, intrigued if 2 back sets are going to be more frequent.

I look at our RBs right now as "Wal Mart" Pittsburgh, and not in a bad way

Robinson = Poor man's Najee Harris, does everything Najee can do just a little bit worse with it

Rodriguez- Poor man's Benny Snell, a power runner but plays faster than you think. (I know Snell isnt on the team anymore)
