aszumilo Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I like this quote from his draft profile Excellent weight-room strength -- can squat a small house. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davistron20 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I don't kno about this pick. I don't know his size either, but if they were serious about size at guard they should have taken Gabe jackson. All that aside, I hope he succeeds. Welcome to the Skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drowland Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I hate picking right before the Ravens. Ozzie showing how it's done while we reach on a player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Sounds like a guy with potential. Happy with the focus on the line. Not sure if he's the guy, but glad to have him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timmy Smith Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I like that we picked a lineman and I have no idea who he is, but CBS Sportsline has him marked as a 7th rounder/undrafted. Hope the Skins scouting office knows something no one else does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boss_Hogg Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 What's this? Another linemen? I thought the Skins don't draft linemen cuz Snyder likes the skill positions? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1972FAN Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I hate picking right before the Ravens. Ozzie showing how it's done while we reach on a player. A little early to make that prediction We have not seen either player in a pro game yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leesburgvaskinsfan Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Verklempt - me too. Another nice pick. I'm overjoyed and all choked up over how well we're doing in this draft. It's great having real football people making our picks. Hail! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folex Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Redskins selected Nebraska OG Spencer Long with the No. 78 overall pick in the NFL draft. Long (6-foot-4 5/8, 320) made 33 starts for the 'Huskers, primarily at right guard, before suffering a season-ending left MCL tear six games into his senior year. He pumped 225 pounds 28 times at Nebraska's Pro Day. When healthy, Long is a huge-handed (10 3/4") drive blocker with tools to be a running-game asset. He has average athleticism for pass blocking, but upside to become a starting right guard. Long's senior-year injury could ultimately make him a draft-day steal.

1972FAN Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Spencer Long OG NFL.com analyst Nolan Nawrocki projected him going in rounds three or four, and refers to him as a “big, tough, physical, ornery blocker with starter-quality positional traits and intangible qualities.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTBIRD 227 Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Hey, at least the skins are looking to improve or attempt to address the O line. We all know the game is won in the trenches. Hail Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

expensivegift Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Spencer Long is so injury prone. We could have gotten Gabe Jackson. 4 year starter at Miss ST, didn't give up a sack in the past two years in the SEC. Moses and Jackson were two 2nd round talents that could have been had in the 3rd. Spencer Long would have been there in the 4th I bet.... At least we bolstered our O-Line... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

martytheman Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 Long has now made a numbers crunch at guard.. You'd think your 3rd rounders are gonna stick.. but who is gonna play/stay out of Long, Lerib, Lavoau, Chester, Gettis, Hurt Hope the guy pans out, but kind of seems to be a waste of either this year's 3rd round pick or 2 years ago (Lerib) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conn Posted May 10, 2014 Share Posted May 10, 2014 I like that we picked a lineman and I have no idea who he is, but CBS Sportsline has him marked as a 7th rounder/undrafted. Hope the Skins scouting office knows something no one else does. NFL.com has him as 2-3 rounder. Was gonna be a top-5 OG before his injury. But I still wish we took Turner. Hope Long plays his ass off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
