Destructis Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/draft2011/news/story?id=6402860 The other players are Aeneas Williams (Arizona), Jessie Tuggle (Atlanta), Peter Boulware (Baltimore), Andre Reed (Buffalo), Brad Hoover (Carolina), Richard Dent (Chicago), Anthony Munoz (Cincinnati), Paul Warfield (Cleveland), Charles Haley (Dallas), Shannon Sharpe (Denver), Jim Taylor (Green Bay), Aaron Glenn (Houston), Jeff Herrod (Indianapolis), Donovin Darius (Jacksonville), Willie Lanier (Kanas City), Sam Madison (Miami), Chris Doleman (Minnesota), Andre Tippett (New England), Willie Roaf (New Orleans), Joe Morris (Giants), Marty Lyons (Jets), Willie Brown (Oakland), Troy Vincent (Philadelphia), Natrone Means (San Diego), Dwight Clark (San Francisco), Cortez Kennedy (Seattle), John Lynch (Tampa Bay), Jevon Kearse (Tennessee) and Doug Williams (Washington). I think it's very cool that Doug Williams gets to announce our 2nd round pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panel Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 The NFL is trying every gimmick they can think of to get people to not be put off by the lock out. The lock out makes the whole Draft feel like much less of an event to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Destructis Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 I think it makes the draft a little more interesting to be honest. I expect more movement by teams because of needs that were not able to be filled through free agency this year. I believe they did the same thing last year with retired players in the second round. What does surprise on this list is Troy Vincent from Philly being there. He was very big in the union for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jflow78 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 That is kind of cool. A Redskin that was drafted before FA gets to announce our pick...........before FA. I actually would rather have a draft before FA every year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitman21ST Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I like the move by the NFL. I know it doesn't mean much in the grand scheme of things, but in a way, it's the NFL reaching out to the retired players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 That is kind of cool. A Redskin that was drafted before FA gets to announce our pick...........before FA. I actually would rather have a draft before FA every year. The draft is generally more of a crap shoot than FA so I prefer FA first so you can fill needs and then use the draft to either fill what you didn't get in FA or simply take the BPA. I could be wrong but I expect to see more teams draft for need this year instead of going their usual BPA route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkabong82 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 What if the Redskins trade back into the 1st and they don`t have a second round pick? I imagine he'll announce that one then, or whatever round holds our 2nd pick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussieskin Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 I am proud to say that a very good friend of mine in Georgia bought me an number 17 jersey with his name on it, it is my prized possession and i wear it whenever i can being a redskin fan in australia puts me in the minority but wearing that jersey makes me smile with pride even if other aussies dont know what the jersey is or who Mr Williams is i know and thats all that counts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Fried Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hopefully we don't have a 2nd rounder if we can trade that, #10, and next year's 1st and 3rd to move to #1 overall and take Mike Pouncey. That would be a dream scenario! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicCitySkin Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Hopefully right before he says the name of the player, he proclaims :"I don't think a headache comes with the kid. He didn't shoot nobody. They didn't arrest him for drugs. He didn't rape nobody. Ain't no problem with the kid." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scruffylookin Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Vinnie... Is that you? Isn't Pouncey an olinemen? No way Vinny drafts him. : ) As for Doug, I guess it's all nice and everything but couldn't they find a real Redskin to represent us? What I mean by that is a longer tenured player? If you want the Super Bowl MVP angle, there's this guy named Mark Rypien who for some reason continues to get the shaft when it comes to his place in Redskin history. He won Super Bowl MVP AND actually played with us for a while (8 years with the team, 6 years on field action, 5 years led the team in passing vs Williams' 4 years with the team 3 years on field action, 1 season led the team in passing).

wilco_holland Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 Wasn´t Doug Williams in the Bucs front office? Or did he already left there, because I heard some UFL rumors. I think it is cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
