Washington Redskins
Post-draft grade: C+
Summary: This felt like a novelty -- a Redskins draft with a ton of picks. The story of this draft was the fact that Washington didn't see a quarterback it wanted. Given the returns in the range in which the Redskins would have picked, it looks like a good calculation, at least in the short term. Only moving way down the board and ending up with Dalton could have looked better. Instead, the Redskins traded down, got Ryan Kerrigan at No. 16 and really aced the pick. Kerrigan picked up 7.5 sacks and played exactly as his draft projection had him pegged. Round 2 pick Jarvis Jenkins never saw the field because of injury, but both running back picks, Roy Helu and Evan Royster, played well when given the time, and I still think Leonard Hankerson has a chance to develop. Maurice Hurt looks like a seventh-round keeper. Having a lot of picks can help; it certainly helped this grade rise over the course of the season.

New grade: B

I was impressed with all of the Redskins draft selections. They all did well this year. We won't know more about Aldrick Robinson until next season, but everyone else exceeded expectations. Kerrigan, Neild, Helu, Royster, Hurt, Hankerson, and Gomes was sensational. And they are just beginning. All of them will be even better next year. And with Jarvis Jenkins returning, it will be interesting to see if he can replace Carriker on the defensive line.
