Scamp1 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I know the likely hood of getting WR Monk from Arkansas, and DE Manley from Oregon ST. is a long shot. But how great would that be especially having 2 posistions filled by the very names that are famous here in DC? Dexters son is even more of a great story with Monk and Green going into the HOF . Wouldnt that be great to hear names like Manley and Monk called during the HoF game . Those 2 posistions are needs with our teams and these kids can definately play at this level and would not cost a high draft pick. Just dreaming in Feb but sounds feasible.

The Full Monty Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Those names are really under the radar - maybe as UFA's? I don't know if they're really all that good, I only heard about them in another thread, but we can bring them in during training camp and they can prove it.

KDawg Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Manley may not even be drafted. Monk can be had in the later rounds as of today. It's not as long of a shot as you might think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. S Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 is this Marcus Monk? I think he's rated as a 2nd rounder right now, some have him in the late first. As for Manley Jr., there is another thread on him, and yes, I do hope we take him late or as an UDFA and see if Greg Blache can convert his talent into production.

jsmith2003 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I thought Marcus Monk was slated more in the late rounds, will have to read up more on Manley though. here's a rating system from NFL.com --> www.nfldraftcountdown.com give positional breakdown ratings, and Monk is listed as being rated (27) @ WR position, but @ 6-6 he could get pulled sooner based on height, there are only 4 picks @ 6-4 + before him. They don't list Manley under DE/DT rankings on this site (listed above) do you have a link to him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSilverMaC Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 It would be really nice to have those names said again on Sundays, and even better if they were mentioned with a Redskins team as dominant as the originals were on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's got the size, but is a bit slow. Kinda reminds me of what we already have in Mix and Espy. By the way, does anyone know if Espy is fully recovered from his injury?

The Full Monty Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Hard to project before the combines, but Monk should be drafted in the mid rounds. Yeah nice. His height looks like an asset. What's the reputation on his route-running and hands? This offense is gonna be about YAC, so those qualities are much more important than the absurdly overrated 40-time stat.

Mr. S Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 ahhh, whoops, I was thinking of Malcolm Kelly and Adarius Bowman for whatever reason, both of whom are ranked higher as WR's. While his weight seems low, at 6'3", DJ Hall of Alabama seems like a good talent too. Has character issues, which is always a concern, but I remember seeing him having some great games at Bama.

HailSkinz1 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Can they play? That's the only thing that matters, but I wouldn't mind it if we gave Dexter Jr a look during camp as a UFA. Monk? Sure, if he's the best guy available, but I wouldn't draft him just because of his last name. Hail, H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This offense is gonna be about YAC, so those qualities are much more important than the absurdly overrated 40-time stat. He has great hands, and good route running ability. The knock against him is that he had a knee or ankle injury before the season started this year, and was out for a good chunk of the season. Fortunately I saw him play the year before. He's a great WR and someone is going to have a gem in him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DGreenistheBest Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Can't lie, the idea of having Monk and Manley listed on a roster again is pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zoony Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 Marcus Monk's injuries his sr. year have his stock slipping, but you never know how his stock might rise with a solid combine/workouts. Right now, I think maybe 4th round for Monk. But we'll see. More than anything, I think his lack of speed is going to hurt him the most. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DallasSucks19922010 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 are they monk's and manley's sons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kuraitengai Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 are they monk's and manley's sons? its dexter manley jr. so yes, its the originals son. marcus monk is no relation at all to art. the name is purely a coincidence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirtySkin21 Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 i dont know, i dont think we should just go after a player just because of the last name.. Alot of the time it doesnt work out. I think we need to just continue forward and draft who is available to us and not worry about getting a monk or manley( i think manley jr quit oregan st and isnt even eligible for the nfl) and i heard he doesnt have the motor like his daddy. but anyways, thats just mho. I think we get monk in the later round, cool but we shoulnt pass on a better player availabke with that pick just because the name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDawg Posted February 18, 2008 Share Posted February 18, 2008 I don't think anyone is actually suggesting drafting either of them because of the name. I think they're trying to say they fit in the system and the name is a bonus. Drafting anyone based on name is not a smart football decision.

However, if his workouts in the combine are good he could go day one of the draft. His strengths and weaknesses are similar to Anthony Mix. Just suppose we get Monk and together with Mix wow, think of the mismatches that would present to opposing defenses in the red-zone. There's one thing I admire about the NY Giants, they have tall receivers who are physical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
icbmayday Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 i mean the second generation i mean the sons i mean the offspring thats all good wit redskin pride and history but a last name does not mean that you can play at all thank u management............

Oldskool Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 You can get a Manley in the first and a Monk in the second but You won't get a Monk in the first and a Manley in the 2nd. DE is a much more shallow pool of talent this year than WR's are, especially big, possession types. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperSmartQb#8 Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 Monk is coming off of a season during which he had two surgeries on his right knee. He was already lacking in the speed department before that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbnva Posted February 19, 2008 Share Posted February 19, 2008 to be honest it would be awesome for historic sake, but there would be too much pressure, especially for the newly HOF appointed Monk. They would always be compared to the originals and will probably never live up to the names. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE is a much more shallow pool of talent this year than WR's are, especially big, possession types. nobody would draft either 2 guys in the 1st or 2nd round Dexter manley II (he is not going by Jr) transferred from oregon Ducks to West Texas A&M (who?) where he started only 2 games in his final season of eligibility. Basically if he comes to the skins he will be lucky to make the practice squad Monk played 6 games, had 116 yards and 3 TDs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
