Is the beginning of the age of glory for the white LOLB?

I feel that we'll be satisfied with this guy for years to come.

Really good value in the third round or later. Could be a very solid NFL pro. Would not take him in the second simply because there will be better players available (Mallett, Kaepernick, Devlin).

i really dont see kaepernick being a successful nfl qb. just my gut feeling. he will take a lot of time if he ever does though.

I'm surprised I'm not hearing more about Devlin from analysts. What gives?

Re: Redskins Made Smart Choice With Kerrigan

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.

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.

Stanza is the guy I'd target at this point. Could be the next Tom Brady or he could be a wasted pick, but at least he won't be a huge douche like mallet.

Re: Redskins Made Smart Choice With Kerrigan

I gave the move an a. We essentially made up for the mcnabb trade by moving 6 spots and got a GREAT leader for our defense. This is a guy who will keep the energy up after Fletcher retires.

Love the pick coupled with picking up an extra 2nd rounder.

Re: Redskins Made Smart Choice With Kerrigan

It's an easy A for me.

At 10 we were gong to get a player that could maybe be fantastic or possibly a complete waste. And if it was a QB it had the distinct possibility to set us back even further.

Trading back and getting a guy that should be at least a solid long term starter in the league plus that extra 2 is just quality pool. At 16 the guy doesn't have to be a monster...he comes in with little pressure to transform our defense...everyone already looks at him like a piece and we resisted the urge to take one of the incredibly overrated QBs that this draft foisted upon the NFL.

On top of that this guy is going to be a by-the-books type of player. We won't be worrying too much about how to convince him to fit into the scheme or anything like that. Having a motor guy with some talent is brilliant. Picture Lorenzo Alexander but with better skills.
