styx491 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Despite the awesomeness of your sig, I must point out how terribly close this team is to being the Lions at the moment.I know, that makes me want to vomit too. IMO, his sig perfectly balances out the horror of the Lions comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEAUX SAINTS Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 As an outsider looking in, I'd have to give it an F. Devin Thomas and Malcolm Kelly are both pretty awful, and Fred Davis is a good TE but pick doesn't really make sense when you have Cooley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xero21 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 I really don't want to call Devin Thomas a bust yet. I just want him on the damn field. We're rebuilding. If he gets on the field and plays like crap for 2 months, great, we know for sure what we have in him. But if he can play consistently like he did against New Orleans and Denver last year, then we have something. But sitting on the bench shows nothing. But looking back, this draft was really sad.

The Tris Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 Could be worse...We could have been the Lions The Lions have actually drafted very well the past couple season. They have A LOT more young talent than we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 the draft is an F. the Redskins took THREE receivers in consecutive picks on a team that had an aging OL and DL with little depth. and two of those receivers are so poor they really can't be counted on as any type of contributor at the position. it's nice to see Thomas contribute on special teams, but that is NOT why you take a player #34 overall let's be honest. he is a bust.

HailGreen28 Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 C-Fred Davis and Devin Thomas still have a chance to contribute, but honestly have not done much. Horton was a flash. Malcolm Kelly was a horrible pick and anyone who defends it is snorting cocaine and smoking meth. Wouldn't it be great if for just once we had all our picks. Like every round. Ah....one can only dream. 2008 we had all our picks, thanks to Gibbs. Then the idiot Vinny started trading them away as usual.....Agree with you about the rest... I'm still hoping Horton gets better too..... but the 2008 draft wasn't anything to be proud of overall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bulldog Posted September 30, 2010 Share Posted September 30, 2010 Bad front office equals a bad draft regardless of the number of picks. The Redskins had 10 picks in 2002 and came up with some decent NFL players but no regulars worth remembering. 2008 with all the picks was even worse.

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 kareem moore, another gem of the 2008 vinny class, is gone. leaving only Fred Davis and Rob Jackson. easily the worst draft in this teams history (or recent history).

jfriedenthal Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Coulda been a beast draft.. Calais Campbell, Desean Jackson, Ray Rice, not to mention all the O-Line holes we could've filled with those three number twos. Flippin ridiculous how much further we would've been with competence in the GM chair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinsinparadise Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Didn't we trade away our 2nd rounder in 2011 for McNabb? If we still have a 2nd rounder next year I may actually have some faith in us being able to build a team the right way. It was for the 2010 2nd rounder, not 2011 ---------- Post added November-15th-2011 at 04:49 PM ---------- 2008 we had all our picks, thanks to Gibbs. Then the idiot Vinny started trading them away as usual.....Agree with you about the rest... I'm still hoping Horton gets better too..... but the 2008 draft wasn't anything to be proud of overall. Gibbs though traded a ton of picks during his tenure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 This is why it's going to take a while to build our team. Devin Thomas - lost his KR job, may get cut Malcomb Kelly - Out of the NFL Fred Davis - BEAST Chad Rinehart - Pressed into BUF service after a player went down Justin Tryon - backup CB for the giants Durant brooks - Out of the NFL Colt Brennan - :rotflmao: Rob Jackson - backup LB Chris Horton - Out of the NFL great job Vinny and Dan :thumbs up: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny was available to 32 teams in 1999. He was peddling to all of the teams he could after being jettisoned by the 9ers. I think his shtick involved being a part of the 9ers success, and he also showcased his infamous giant book of players (FAs, college, everyone) and rating scale. This is what I've heard/read anyway. Only one team/person wanted him. The Redskins under Snyder. Schottenheimer came to the team in 2001, demanded complete control, and booted Vinny. Again Vinny was available to 32 teams. Again he went peddling. NO ONE was interested. When Snyder fired Marty, who did he re-hire? Vinny. Snyder needs to stick with "NOT-Vinny" as his GM. Anyone but Vinny, needs a chance to succeed at this point, which includes unearthing all of the nonsense that Vinny has placed here - not just actual players but the mentality that has pervaded that locker room for years. The Redskins have to stop being a place "just to get paid." It's started to happen, but it's a process. My biggest fear is Snyder will again lose patience, and will again sink this team into the pits with his stupidity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCClybun Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 With the release of Moore, barring him getting claimed off waivers, that makes 13 players out of the 21 that Vinny drafted over a three year period that are now out of the league. THIRTEEN. Out of 21! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How in the hell did this guy even have a job????? yeah that '08 draft pretty much ruined us. We had 9 selections and out of that 9 only 2 is left on the roster (Freddy and Rob Jackson)... 2 out of the remaining 7 are currently on an NFL roster (Reinhart and D. Thomas).
