Canadian Hog Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Considering how excited Gibbs sounded yesterday about the quality of guys that they felt would be available here on day two, this whole trade down scenario doesn't come as a surprise. From this standpoint, it's a good move in my estimation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDane Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft05/tracker/player?id=8419 Strengths: Is an intriguing developmental FB prospect because of his unique blend of size, athleticism and speed. Has great experience as a ball carrier and receiver. Shows excellent initial burst and good speed for his size. Has some lateral movement quickness and does a decent job of planting and driving without losing much in transition. He has good vision and patience as a runner. Is a powerful runner with good body lean and lower body strength. Has soft hands for a bigger back out of the backfield and shows a good feel as a route runner in the short area. Has good size as a blocker. Is raw as a blocker but has some upside if he can improve his technique while getting bigger and tougher. Weaknesses: Durability is a concern after missing four games with a leg injury in 2003 and suffering a knee injury during the 2005 Senior Bowl. He's a bit of a 'tweener who lacks the top-end speed and explosiveness of a fulltime NFL running back, but also lacks experience and strength as a blocker. His awareness and angles must improve as a blocker. He needs to also do a better job of sustaining and playing with leverage. Is big but must improve his lower body strength and overall power as a blocker. Also needs to become more physical and aggressive in that facet. Overall: In 2003, White started the first eight games (five at RB and three at FB) before being sidelined by a fractured right scapula in the Arizona State game. At the time of his injury, he was the team's leading rusher. He finished with 379 net rushing yards and three touchdowns, while also averaging 10.1 yards on 10 receptions. White returned healthy as a senior in 2004, where he continued to play a 'tweener RB/FB role and split carries with RB Maurice Drew. White finished with 164 carries for 764 yards and eight touchdowns. He also chipped in with 20 receptions for 115 yards. White is a versatile fullback in the mold of Packers' FB Najeh Davenport just not nearly as athletic. White lacks ideal experience as a blocker but he has excellent size and some upside in that area if he can improve his technique and get much stronger. He also has good speed for his size and excellent experience carrying and catching the football. Essentially, White is a running back stuck in a fullback's body. Because White is such a unique athlete with the versatility to provide production as a runner, blocker, receiver and on special teams, he is worth taking a late chance on by a team that uses its fullback in a versatile role. However, he looked to be woefully week as a blocker at the Senior Bowl and he lacks the explosiveness as an athlete to bother wasting a pick on him any earlier. Furthermore, his knee injury in the Senior Bowl provides even more reason for concern. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beastman Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 This pick confuses me. So many good WRs and d-lineman who could come in a contribute immediately, and we take a short yardage back/special teamer? Ladell Betts is a very good backup RB, and Gibbs doesnt use a FB in his sets, but an h-back which is what Cooley plays. I would have liked to have seen us take Roydell Williams, Fred Gibson or Aurise Currie even. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 Whoa. that's kind of a sweeping statement there beastman. I mean, it not only is a comment on the players available, ( able to step in on the NFL level right away), but one ont eh players the Redskins have now. Not only are these draft prospects good enough to come in and play now, but they are better or at least as good than what the Skins have presently?

TheDane Posted April 24, 2005 Share Posted April 24, 2005 There is no WR remaining on the board, nor was there one at the time we picked Manuel, that would have beaten out Moss, Patten, Jacobs, or Thrash. No one. If we keep Gardner? Forget it. There wouldn't be room on the team, much less on the field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
