squatch66 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 from what i see from these picks zorn is really looking to run a wide open offense. im thinking that we are going to see some 4 wide and maybe 3 wide/2 te sets next year. zorn seems really committed to seeing jason succeed and is trying to get him the best weapons with which to do so. if i was jason i would be very excited right now. admittedly im not really big on the davis or kelly picks. i think that the skins were going to give campbell a hard look at 51 but the god damn cardinals picked him at 50 :doh: but reading cerrattos comments kelly was the guy all along so i dont know. i would have liked to see the skins have picked trevor laws or calais campbell at 48 and then kelly or davis at 51 but hey what do i know im a fan. :2cents: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mumbojumbo Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 As the Old Ball Coach use to say around here it's going to be "pitching and catching." It would have been a dream day for Spurrier with three guys to catch the ball. To bad there's no help with blocking and tackling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redskins2473 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Based on how the draft played out and the teams obvious desire to load up on talent at skill positions for Zorn's WCO, I'd say give the front office the benefit of the doubt on Day 1. Even if they had picked Campbell, Laws, Groves, etc., who is to say they would be impact players right away or at all. They were not considered elite talent. Good players yes but not elite. The skins picked up skilled players considered to be elite in this draft class anyway that suited their needs. Can't argue with that. The other counter argument to the dislike for not taking defensive players on day 1 is this. Yes, there are deficiencies on defense but they were ranked 6th overall last year, warts and all. That can be misleading I guess if you witnessed those painful stretches of being unable to pressure the QB but I'd say they won't have a huge fall with the current structure of the D in 08' and by adding some quality players on day 2, they should be able to hold things together until the 09' draft. Reaching for talent on the Oline would have been another bad move considering the early run on the premier OT's. Part of the value they got in the second round is because Atlanta reached for Baker. Let's just hope for no major injuries along both lines and that Zorn's WCO takes some of the pressure off the D and I think folks will see this team is headed in the right direction.

Tin Man Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Interesting perspectives on this board. Personally, I'm happy that we're actually having a draft, and a quality one at that; as opposed to trading away the picks and spending crazy money in free agency for big-named has-beens that don't produce. Man, I am so happy to see f*ggin' Brandon Lloyd gone!!! So hey, this has already been one helluva draft, with more action to come today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2006Skins Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Got the seal of approval from JLC. There's a first http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/ Skins send the 103rd pick to Tennesse for the 124th and 157th picks. Skins did not previously have a 5th round pick, so now they get one. Guessing they may target a a QB there, now that they have that pick. Gotta think they look DL with the 4th round pick and there's some good ones still on the board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Brian Johnston with the 4th round pick PLEASE!?!?!?!?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
method man Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I like this trade. I think this team realizes that it needs to satisfy more need positions. I like 1) Moore, 2) Johnston, 3) Pressley, and 4) Blake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tml6157 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 We are looking really good right now. There is a lot of DL remaining and the addition of Thomas, Kelly and Davis will make us VERY lethal this year. Im super stoked to see Jason play with all these targets this year!!! Rinehart was an awesome pick as well, I took him in my draft as well. We are having a SWEET draft this year!!! Here's to a Brian Johnston DE and Antwaun Moldin CB and Dennis Dixon QB in the 4th, 5th and 6th!!! :applause: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinSabbath Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 AW MAN! The damn BUCS moved up and grabbed Dre Moore... I think we should have stayed in our rd4 pick 4 spot and just taken him there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tarhog Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Nice job on the coverage John Like you, I have mixed feelings on Day 1, but there's no disputing we got all 3 guys at a value. We haven't had a true 'HUH???' pick yet, something thats been rare for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
