Oh, and apparently an experienced NFL quarterback with 5,649 passing yards with a cannon for an arm.

***Que miffed retaliator reminding everyone that Terrell Davis and Tom Brady were drafted in the 6th round

:laugh:

What a joke...

Patrick Ramsey stinks...

2 Mill in cap space rocks though... :notworthy

Yes, but that QB does not have the ability to look past his first option. He seems like a great guy, but Patrick will never be more than a quality backup in the league.

A draft pick value is not determined by the value of 1 or 2 players who were drafted in that round. That would be stupid. You should not put the value of a 6th round draft pick as Tom Brady, but as a 1/1000th chance to draft a Tom Brady. Just because a few guys were drafted in the 6th round doesnt make the pick that much more valuable, considering how many hundreds were drafted in the 6th round and never amounted to being able to hold Heath Shulers gym socks.

Now if we had traded for 70 round 6 picks, that would be something else. But we only got one.

You don't get it...

If this were 2002 and we knew what we know about Patrick Ramsey and so did everybody else...

He's a 6th rounder... :D

6th round picks can have value, but you have to be lucky.

Thank you very much for using facts to back up your argument. :applause:

Indeed. There are some HOFers that were drafted in rounds that don't even exist anymore. I was going over the top to point out that we got yoked (or is it yolked?)

But as Bulldog pointed out, this year was a buyers market for quarterbacks so there's not much we could do.

And it's not over yet. Still waiting to see what happens to Harrington. I still say he'll be good in the NFL if he gets with the right team.

Detriot is where quarterbacks go to die.

Read the recent reports about him. He showed up for meetings with Martz unprepared, uninterested and with a bad attitude. This despite the endorsment Martz gave him when coming on board. Then, he stormed out of a meeting nearly in tears and subsequently asked Marinelli to release or trade him. That's why the Lions went on a QB buying spree despite having initially endorsed Harrington. That's been his biggest problem all along, he listens waaaay too much to the criticism. He's going to have to get a whole lot mentally tougher in a short period of time if he's ever going to make it in the NFL.

You do realize that is not HOF DE Reggie White ,right? The Minister of Defense was drafted in 1984 and was the 4th overall pick in Rd 1.

You are high as a kite my friend.

No, I didn't realize that, but thanks for pointing it out, I would have been telling other people that.

And yes, I was high as a kite last night when I wrote that, good eye, man, good eye.

edit- I was only 2 when he was drafted, and didn't ever know when he was drafted before you just told me.

Unfortunately, it would need to be a team that has a 6,000-yard rusher. :laugh:

Just kidding! I really liked Harrington when he was in college and, like you, I think he may have the skills to become a good NFL quarterback in the right situation. I understand why we picked up Todd Collins, yet I would have liked to see our staff work with Harrington.

I said from day one that Harrington was overrated...

Kinda like every other white QB drafted in the top 5... :laugh:

Alex Smith is POOP. David Carr is WACK. Ryan Leaf was FLATULANCE. Heath Shular was ANUS. Tim Couch = DOO-DOO. Akili Smith was HORRIBLE.

For the price teams paid on these crappy QB's you'd think they'd stop drafting guys like Jay Cutler with top 5-10 picks... :laugh:

P.S. - Eli Manning has the 'itis. Yeah, the 'itis his brother got! :laugh: Shut out at home in the 1st round? :laugh:

That's every Redskins 6th round pick since 1990. From what I can tell the Redskins just traded for a draft pick that will result in a player who's only chance of being on this roster is the practice squad. Basically a player that could easily be picked up in UDFA. So in the end Ramsey for NOTHING! It isn't really correct to try and compare ALL 6th round picks to the Redskins 6th round picks. So Tom Brady was a 6th round pick. Does that matter? No, he wasn't drafted by anyone the Redskins currently have running the draft. Gibbs has gone through two drafts now. 6 second day picks. And none of them have contributed to this team, even on special teams. So if you ask me, the Redskins received nothing of value for Ramsey...

now do one with EVERY first round pick for every team since then that didn't work out. Is it just us? No, it's not. - It's football - it happens - If 1st round picks were magically guarentted to be successful, we'd never trade them.

For every person that cries about giving someone the title of GM so our draft picks would all be magically successful, remember this - Bobby Bethard - our great talent evaluator selected Ryan Leaf.

I'm happy we got anything. A 6th round pick is better than what we would've got if we released him, which it was starting to look like we'd have to do.
