Redskins Draft: Random Thoughts
Random Thoughts from the draft:
I’m happy the Skins drafted Trent Williams, I preferred Okung but I’ll take the most “athletic” tackle in the draft. An added bonus, he can chew gum and talk at the same time.
Tonight will be very boring unless the Redskins can get creative with trades and get themselves a 2nd or 3rd round pick. This draft is very deep and a lot of talented players will be available in the next 50 picks.
The Haynesworth trade possibilities are dwindling. The Titans say they’re out and the Lions/Bucs both drafted DT’s with the 2nd and 3rd overall picks. Albert is our best bargaining chip to get back in rounds 2 or 3. Of course, the Skins could trade a 1st rounder next year for someone they really like in round 2 this season.
I can’t see how the Redskins can just release Jason Campbell for nothing. He was a 1st round pick and has played fairly well over the last 3 seasons. You have to get something for him, even if it’s a late round pick next season. If not, pay him the $3 million to be your backup, McNabb always misses 2 or 3 games a year.
Roger Goodell must be sore today from all the chest bumping and bear hugs he received last night.
Did anybody see when the cameras cut to Tebow to get his reaction to the Steelers taking his college teammate, Maurkice Pouncey? I guess they were expecting the Tebow household to explode with excitement, instead they got zero reaction. Zero.
Did anybody see the exchanges between Jamie Dukes and Jim Mora Jr? They don’t seem to like each other much. Highlights included Dukes saying that Mora was still getting paid $15 million to say good things about the Seahawks and that if you don’t draft the right people you end up fired after 1 seasons and working in TV.
Big Ben heard his future chants for the upcoming season…”she said no, she said no.” To which Big Ben responded “don’t speak with your mouth full.” Thats wrong, I know.
Finally, if the Redskins find a way to pick tonight here are some of the guys I like that remain available that will probably go in the 2nd or 3rd rounds:
Dexter McCluster RB/WR
Jonathan Dwyer RB
Charles Brown OT
Bruce Campbell OT
Sergio Kindle OLB (might be worth a #1 next year)
Brandon Spike ILB
Taylor Mays S
Chris Cook CB
Javier Arenas CB
Cheers and Hail
