really? I loved that mess last year

Relax, a lot of draft to go

bertoskins2 · 04-26-2008, 08:27 PM

there goes my bet tyrell johnson

The Goat · 04-26-2008, 08:27 PM

Man we're still 3 away from picking again. I'm sooooooooooooo glad the NFL sped things up this year.

yea Plax made everyone think you need a 6'4' guy. go find someoen post that says they wanted Chad Johnson they put up Thomas' size next to him...

GusFrerotte · 04-26-2008, 08:28 PM

Forgot about the 3rd second rounder. Devin is a decent pick at WR, quick, good hands, etc. Get a safety and a CB and we will be straight after the second round. After round 3 the talent level will really drop.

SKINSnCANES · 04-26-2008, 08:29 PM

maybe take limas sweed too? have two receivers to grow around and campbell? not a huge need, but could be a nice luxury

Disagree. We have other needs, lets move on. We got the #1 WR on the board.

DE, DT, DB, OL. Of course best player should prevail, but we have other needs. We can make a couple of crap shoot picks in the 6th and 7th rounds.

What about DaJuan Morgan at safety instead. I actually like Morgan better than Johnson.

BleedBurgundy · 04-26-2008, 08:31 PM

I worry about bust potential for Thomas too, but there again, kudos to the FO for trading down into the second to minimize the impact if that happens.

Skinny Tee · 04-26-2008, 08:31 PM

Just got back from the draft party at FedEx...incredible time!

I love the trade down even though we didn't make away with a huge advantge value wise. We get more young Redskins which is is what we need.

How shocking would it be if they took another wideout at #48?
