I get the feeling based on what we have seen today, that they do like what they have in the TE room.I kinda thought they liked their young TES

Dude, he will be an OLB in our Defense.Andre Jones
another DE WTF
lol he is a DEDude, he will be an OLB in our Defense.
And maybe with good reasonI get the feeling based on what we have seen today, that they do like what they have in the TE room.
Everyone we drafted this year is considered a good football player.KJ Henry is a very good football player. Seen him play many times
The worst thing that could happen for us is that we are simply average and win 7 or 8 or 9 games, just like the season that just ended. That puts us back in the middle of the first round and without the possibility of getting that elite level player. We either need to suck ass or win 11 or 12 games and be in the playoffs.Sam Howell has been setup for failure Washington will probably have some QB off the street mid season as the starter
Folks are pissed because they didn't pick players folks wanted. It is what people do during the draft. I laughed to myself a few times the past few days remembering the days when we read the sport page the next to see who was drafted.Everyone we drafted this year is considered a good football player.
Folks are pissed because
1. None of them were flash picks or considered the best at their position
2. We passed on Gonzalez to take Forbes
3. We didnt draft a TE which everyone swore we should take in what was considered a deep TE draft.
Personally Im good because the two edge rushers will float between EDGE and OLB, I actually like the DBs we took. And we added O-line depth and RB Depth.
I get being sad that the team didnt take the player they were hoping for in the first round.Folks are pissed because they didn't pick players folks wanted. It is what people do during the draft.

Gonzalez was never on the table. The Patriots were going to take him but they knew Washington wanted Forbes so they took the trade back.
shark, spot on. One thing it seems this team never has is depth. I felt like they worked on that in this draft. In reality no one knows how this draft was until you get two or three years from now.
Some interesting things I saw on Facebook .... they had the wrong number for Stromberg. You saw RR's attempt and then the call with him. EB called him after that. Ron said EB wanted Stromberg bad. He also said he wanted the RB bad. KJ Henry's dad came down the stairs of his house in a 75th Redskins jersey after his son was picked.
Now lets get this sale done.
Agree ... the draft is not an exact science. Some guys are Heath Shuler and some are Kam Curl.I get being sad that the team didnt take the player they were hoping for in the first round.
But to autoshit on every single pick and proclaim the entire draft a failure is a might childish. Will they all work out? Probably not. But most if not all of these guys were on draft boards for better than half the league. We took players that we either need now, or will/could need in the future.
Agreed. The Job I have now is alot more hands on and I deal with alot more needy people. So I simply dont have the time to start researching college prospects the moment our season ends as I used to. I may track one or two mocks and see who they are projecting us to take. But hell even that was so far off the mark this year that it would have ben fruitless endeavor.Agree ... the draft is not an exact science. Some guys are Heath Shuler and some are Kam Curl.
Who knew Chris Hanburger who would have been a UDFA these days would be a HOFer.
I think some of the "autoshiting) is the beat down from 25 years of Dan Snyder and even the years after Gibbs. This is just one more thing the NFL took advantage of. Instead of checking the paper the next day they have made a year long event out of it and fans playing GM.
I this years draft I didn't know a lot of the guys drafted. I don't have the time and I guess interest to follow college football like I did when I was younger. I don't put much stock in mock drafts or pundits.
From playing and coaching I know somethings can't be taught. Forbes has unique ball skills. That can't be taught. You can teach many things but that isn't one of them. But many want to focus on his weight only and not the fact that he has the NCAA record for returned TDs.
