E-Dog Night Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'm giving the Redskins front office a solid B+. Nice job by Allen & Co. Got good value in places, addressed needs without being desperate about it, brought in competition in the right places, and picked players that fit Shanahan's system. 1) Robert Griffin III: A+ Anytime you get a consensus franchise QB, it's a freakin' A+. 2) Josh LeRibeus: D Not sure about this kid. Had some maturity issues in college and probably would have dropped. Not great value here. 3) Kirk Cousins: B- Lacks certain physical tools and has a very different skill set from RG3, so if he has to come in, the offense has to make changes on the fly. But grooming a QB as a backup/future trade prospect/competitor is never a bad thing. 4) Keenan Robinson: B- Not a big need area at the moment compared to others, but London can't play forever so he might move inside. Butkus Award semifinalist, figures to make the team as a special teamer for now. 5) Adam Gettis: B Solid lineman from Big 10, well suited to ZBS, could start right away. 6) Alfred Morris: C Not terribly gifted but seems like a classic Shanahan one-cut back. Skins had more pressing needs here and could have addressed the secondary with this pick. 7) Tom Compton: B+ Great depth prospect at RT in case Jammal Brown can't stay healthy. Could replace Brown in a couple of years. 8) Richard Crawford: C Could push for a return spot, might not otherwise see the field as a DB anytime soon. 9) Jordan Bernstine: B Good value pick, would have gone higher if not for injuries. Could be a starting safety in 2-3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Epochalypse Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Too soon to judge but at first glance only real question I have is the RB. Not sure he was necessary, but we'll see how it plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drexen Del'Sangre Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 You are missing Keenan Robinson, our 2nd 4th round pick out of Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Born In 93 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 hate the cousins pick dont mind anything else overall b draft imo got our QB and some decent prospects, hopefully the guard doesn't take too long to develop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaskins Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Overall a solid B. They addressed a lot of needs and stacked depth at key positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsHokieFan Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 RG3 makes this overall draft an A Pick by pick is always tough. In particular after round 3, it can be a crapshoot in who turns into something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Dog Night Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 You are missing Keenan Robinson' date=' our 2nd 4th round pick out of Texas.[/quote']Oops. Don;t know how he got deleted from the list. Had him up there but made an edit and must have cut him out. Sorry Keenan! Another edit coming in a minute.

skinsfan07 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'd give it a solid B. Made some solid picks after RGIII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elkabong82 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 RG3 A+ "Ribs" was going to be taken by KC, he wouldn't have dropped. Athletic, familiar w/ zone blocking. B Cousins good back-up, higher value than where we got him B Keenan Robinson (you forgot him OP) good ILB filling a need, ST value and reportedly good cover skills, has to work on shedding blocks - B Gettis familiar zone blocker as well, others seem to be high on him, I don't know enough about him personally though, but since he fits the system I'll go B- Morris good strength compliment to Helu, we needed a 3rd back, not bad for a 6th rounder C+ (hard to give 6th rounders a B or an A) Compton - athletic, best in a light conference C+ Crawford - decent pick, ST value, a bit slow though D+ Bernstein good ST value also, quick, and has safety value C Overall an A (mainly for landing RG3), addressing needs w/ talent, especially OL this is just my impression though, I won't pretend to know enough about the other draftees to try and project their long-term value, save for Cousins who I was familiar w/ pre-draft and feel will be a solid back up to RG3) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MonkFan8 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 I'll give it a B+. We addressed our needs, some later than I would have liked but I am actually on board with the Cousins pick. Now we just have to hope these guys pan out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-Dog Night Posted April 28, 2012 Author Share Posted April 28, 2012 Keenan Robinson is playing ILB He's listed as an OLB, played outside at Texas. But I agree, the Skins will move him inside to challenge Perry Riley and perhaps take over for Fletch eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roanoker Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Addressed main glaring need with RG3. Overall B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Overall I give us a B grade. RG3 was a home run obviously and the three OL, and Robinson were good picks. Cousins is a bit of a headscratcher, good value but we have so many other holes that I don't know if it's worth taking a guy who best case scenario will never play. Not a fan of the Morris pick. Seventh round guys are meh but whatever 99% of seventh rounders are out of the league within a couple years anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phishisthegreatstuff Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Impossible to tell this early, but I think drafting another rookie qb when we traded 3 picks to get RG3 is an abomination and drops my grade down to a C at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elkabong82 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Everyone should have a draft grade of A simply because we got RG3. All the OL should reinforce that grade. Letting just 1 pick knock it down at all is absurd and, quite frankly, means you're taking our franchise QB for granted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HailGreen28 Posted April 28, 2012 Share Posted April 28, 2012 Overall B-. Griffin - B. Hopefully Griffin is our Peyton Manning for the next 10 years. I can't grade that pick an A at this point in time, after all we gave up. Hoping this becomes an A+++ pick in a couple years. LeRibeus - D. Looks dumb as Claibourne and had academic troubles. Not thrilled about him. Only thing I like is he's an OL. Cousins - F. We went all in with Griffin. Why burn a valuable 4th rounder on his backup? Keenan Robinson - A. I like a college 4-3 LB converting to 3-4 ILB. And I thought even with an undersized 3-4 front, shedding blocks wasn't as much as issue for ILBs as OLBs? Adam Gettis - B. I believe he could be better than LeRibeus. And we need OL. May be too small. Alfred Morris - D. Guys here tell me we need him. I say just sign Ryan and Hightower to one-year deals for depth, and keep using Cooley as FB/TE. I understand the need for youth but Helu and Royster are on their sophomore year here and Young's only been here for 3! Tom Compton, Richard Crawford, Jordan Bernstine - Given how well Shanallen have done the last two drafts, I trust these are good picks that will contribute in camp and have a better than average chance to make the team than most late-rounders elsewhere. Call it a B for those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
