Art Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Top clip on Redskins.com. Interesting to see him lay some things out. Kind of amazing the guys we were thought to be interested in at 21 BOTH wound up on our roster . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 That is interesting. I wonder if thats a good or bad sign about the scouting dept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhoRUSupposed2Be Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 That is interesting.I wonder if thats a good or bad sign about the scouting dept. Well like you sigs says, to put it in a delicate euphemism "you have to rely on some good luck and a common sensibility." :helmet: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skinsfan999 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 So apparently they would have taken Tryon at 103, also. Seems like they really liked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Recent Vintage Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Wouldn't say it's the scouting Dept... Vinny's been saying for weeks that the quality WRs in the draft were in the low first and second round. Plus Snyder was lobbying hard for a WR, so of course those players got swept to the top of our boards. I, for one, am really impressed with Vinny and our War room, being able to get the players they wanted at the original pick (Thomas and Davis... then later with JT) while being able to get more picks via trading down.

H-O-G Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Well in my opinion im happy we got 3 great targets. Yesterday at a draft party i was at we were all joking on eachother about what team would waste their first round pick on 'THE' one year wonder Devin Thomas and im so glad we didnt pick him at 21. Although I'm not very big on Thomas im glad we AT LEAST traded down and acquired more picks in the process. Getting Malcolm Kelly and Fred Davis has made me very happy though. just my 2 cents..

@DCGoldPants Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 As long as Vinny stops referring to them as 1st round talent, we'll be ok. Last think we need is an agent trying to weasel alittle more loot because your team keeps referring to a 2nd round pick as a 1st round talent. Happy enough with the WR's, even if only one of them hits. The TE is fine, would have rather had a lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 That is a great clip. Vinny is looking fit and sounds sharp. Good stuufs. Larry still looks like he'll have no chance on the hardwood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ouvan59 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 There are two very distinct parts of the draft. 1. Scouting - this is the most important part. You have to make sure the players you get will fit what you do. 2. Drafting - Knowing when to take who and what you want. Also included in this is trading. This is the biggest grey area since you never really know how the other teams feel about the players you like. Is the player you like going to be available later? We could very well have picked Thomas at #21 and Kelly at #51 and a lot of people will have said we did well. We ended up trading down and and getting Davis as well. On the other hand we will never know if somebody who went from 21-33 was who we really wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rjmorton42 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I posted this in the main draft thread too, but both yesterday and today, Vinnie made himself available for interviews on redskins.com while the draft was on-going and other teams were picking. Am I missing something, or shouldn't he have been in the war room monitoring other teams and being available to discuss trades? Particularly yesterday when there were formal press conferences with Vinnie & Zorn after our 1st & 3rd picks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Happy Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Nice move. Too bad he screwed it up by wasting a 6th round pick on a punter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laurent Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 I like what we've done in the draft. I would have preferred coming away with Thomas, Campbell and Kelly on day one, but ultimately we did ok. The DE we picked doesn't really seem to fit the mold of player that Blache prefers at the position, and with Wilson already somewhat of a project I don't see what he brings to the table but oh well.

Oldskool Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Wow. One whole guard :puke:Hope he can fill two holes simultaneously Where's the hole Sarge? Jansen and Thomas are back from IR and Kendall still has a year on his contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLongshot Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Wow. One whole guard :puke:Hope he can fill two holes simultaneously One whole guard is really all we needed for next season. Samuels, Rabach and Thomas are going to be starting for a while, and we got Heyer behind Jansen if we need him. That leave Kendall, who might not be back after next season, so we got a guy we can coach up and eventually replace him. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Jansen and Thomas are back from IR and Kendall still has a year on his contract. Wasn't that said before the season last year? As for Kendall, he was having knee issues at the end of last season, missing practice and parts of games. But we're the Redskins. Pinning our line hopes on a wing and a prayer......
