Redskins Made Smart Choice With Kerrigan

[Bucket]

Here is the way I look at it.


The Steelers win football games because of their defense... You make it to the playoffs, and those high power sling 'em offense struggle when the weather gets cold, but the defense is still full throttle.

Steelers ahve and breed some of the best LB's in the NFL, and that's the core of their 3-4 scheme.

We just added a damn STUD to our LB core.

Now.. We trade a 2nd for a later 2nd n a 3rd's and we pick up Casey Mathews...

Kerrigan, Mathews, Fletcher, Orackpo

That's mean.

[Longtimefan]

I give him an - A - grade. He's not all we need but he can be a vital part to the start.

[SmootSmack]

Kerrigan is a blue-collar, pass rusher. Reminds me, in many ways, of Justin Smith...so I give this pick an A++

Seriously though, solid choice. The pick itself I give a B. Being able to draft him and add another 2nd round pick bumps it up to a B+

lol at the 1 F

T.O. Killa really doesn't like this

[Redskin Warrior]

I hope this pick works out I gave it a B tho. I hope Dalton is there @ 41 & we trade the 49th pick & add a 3rd rounder that would be such a win for us in this draft.

Limited arm strength, looked more uncomfortable in a shirt and shorts than other D-I players.

The latter...who cares. The former is a liability that he'll have to overcome at the next level.

I hope the Skins pick up Ryan Williams. Yes I am a biased for the Hokies but this guy is a complete stud and I believe that he will be the best RB of this class in his career. He really is worth the pick.

[SmootSmack]

Williams is definitely possible...but let's keep this thread about Kerrigan

[skins89moss]

I was very concerned about the predraft hype that we would try to trade up and take Gabbert of Mizzou. I think the best thing was to trade back if a player at #10 was not their such as AJ Green, Von Miller, Marcel D. I do like that we picked up a 2nd rounder since we gave a way our 4th rounder to the eagles for D-Mac who does not fit our plans. The 3rd rounder to the Saints for Brown was ok as long as we are going to resign him. If we don't then that will be another wasted pick. Who really knows what players will be great in the NFL only time will tell. I do think Kerrigan is a player who can come in a contribute to our team right away. I cannot wait to see what we do with our two 2nd rd picks. Hail.

Adam Carriker wears #94, so that won't happen.


On a different note, I think Kerrigan can be a great asset to Orakpo, and when/if we draft a good NT on day 2 (Jerrell Powe, Kendrick Ellis) this defense can really get rolling.

I'm very happy now more and more we got this guy for many reasons, Quinn had a lot of concerns (health, one year type of guy, character, tackling, and 3-4 ready) this guy was one player every analyst could agree would be a safe solid pick. And about Cam Jordan; he seemed too small to me to play 3-4 DE in the NFL, sure he played it in college, but the lineman in college aren't as big and good as the lineman in the pros. Plus we have more immediate needs at NT, OLB, OL, WR before we worry about getting a DE. And I don't think Bowers will be any good for us.

The most interesting thing about this pick as well as some of the other guys that Smoot has mentioned as possible picks is what it says about Shanahans evolution as a coach. When I see him pass on a top QB prospect to trade back and get an OLB the main thing it tells me is this.

- 'I believe that the main reason I failed in Denver (at the end of his tenure of course) came from my inability to put together a quality defensive unit.'

I think it also means this.

- 'I have enough confidence in my ability to coach and find offensive players that I can succeed with, late round picks, cast away free agents, and maybe a few expensive free agents, but mostly vagabonds.'

How could you be so insensitive?

What does this look like to you Scud?


Look at him Scud he's on the verge of tears after seeing your post....that or he's getting ready to kill you. I can't really tell.

[NM Redskin]

So probably Kerrigan, Fletch, Riley, Rak as our starters?
