Day 2 Open Thread

Outback_shirt_tiny by TexSkins on in Draft Comment 222 comments

[Note by Skin Patrol, 04/27/08 6:30 PM EDT ] With the 249th pick in the draft the Redskins select Chris Horton, safety out of UCLA. He will join Kareem Moore in competing for a spot on the roster, though with only three safeties currently on the team, it isn't unthinkable that both make it. Enjoy guys, and thanks for spending the draft here.

[Note by Skin Patrol, 04/27/08 6:11 PM EDT ] With the 242nd pick of the draft the Redskins select Rob Jackson, DE out of Kansas State. Defensive End was a need and we finally, mercifully addressed it, although this late in the draft there is very little guarantee that Rob will be with the team for long, but best of luck to him.

[Note by Skin Patrol, 04/27/08 3:54 PM EDT ] With the 186th pick the Redskins select Colt Brennan, QB out of Hawaii. We have a Hawaiin Redskins fan on hte site who I am sure is absolutely thrilled with the pick. Guy had sick production in College albeit against lesser talents, the main criticism of him being that he's a system product. His bad showing against Georgia probably caused him to fall this far. The Redskins wanted a young qb to develop under Jason Campbell, and they got one. I think it's good value this deep. Most of you, if you followed CFB at all, are familiar with this guy. But more info available here.

[Note by Skin Patrol, 04/27/08 3:42 PM EDT ] With the 180th pick, the Redskins select Kareem Moore, S out of Nicholls State. We filled a need position since we were not especially deep at safety. I would've taken Josh Barrett and his 4.35 40 time, though. I don't know about this pick whatsoever... Additional information on Moore available here .

[Note by Skin Patrol, 04/27/08 3:19 PM EDT ] We have a punter, Derrick Frost has a problem. With the 168th pick, the Redskins selected Durant Brooks, place kicker out of Georgia Tech. He was the Ray Guy best punter award winner last year. More info here , thanks to CptChaosSidekick. It says that not only is he a Ray Guy award winner, but is apparently close personal friends with the actual Ray Guy. Dude had a 77 yard punt last year. Durant Brooks is the first punter taken, per the talking pictures box.

[is the FIRST Note by Skin Patrol, 04/27/08 2:48 PM EDT ] Trade with St. Louis terms per Redskins Insider is that we traded our 5th (157th) and 7th (228th) for their 6th rounders (168th and 180th). A 5 and a 7 for two 6ths, kind of a wash but the Redskins obviously like the value in the 6th round the way the draft board is filling out.

[Note by Skin Patrol, 04/27/08 2:39 PM EDT ] With the 157th pick the Redskins take... no one. We traded the pick to St. Louis. I will update with terms as soon as I find them.

[Note by Skin Patrol, 04/27/08 1:48 PM EDT ] Make sure you check out both Conquest Chronicles and Crimson and Cream Machine for info on Fred Davis and Malcolm Kelly. We don't have College blogs for all the teams we selected players from, but we do for those guys and the websites are valuable resources for info on two of our first three picks.

[Note by Skin Patrol, 04/27/08 1:40 PM EDT ] Shouting out to my friend Ben at Curly R , his coverage has been great and I'm thrilled to see him back in this blogging business. Here are his thoughts on Chad Rinehart .

[Note by Skin Patrol, 04/27/08 1:11 PM EDT ] Redskins take Justin Tryon, cornerback out of Arizona State with the 124th pick. A need position filled here by a guy I don't know much about but will find out more. Hat tip to CptChaosSidekick for his draft profile available here: word on him is he's a nickel or dime cornerback with questionable upside and hands but great speed, reliable tackling, and plays aggressively.

[Note by TexSkins, 04/27/08 10:01 AM CDT ] With the #96 pick, the Redskins take...Chad Rinehart, OG, Northern Iowa. More info here, courtesy dr WNC.
[Note by TexSkins, 04/27/08 10:58 AM CDT ] Looks like the team traded again... and picked up a 5th rounder. They got what looks like the Titans 4th rounder (#124) and 5th rounder (#157) for the 4th rounder they got from Atlanta yesterday (#103). I'm just going by ESPN's DraftCast. More details later.

[Note by TexSkins, 04/27/08 11:05 AM CDT ] Per Redskin Insider, with a hat tipped at CaptChaosSidekick, the story is true. Trade with the Titans, extra pick in the 5th. 10 total picks for the weekend. (At this point, at least.)

Day 1 was obviously very much Zorn's day. He got all the guys he needs to put a very good offense on the field. Day 2 is all about Vinny, Front Office Campbell, and the scouting department. I wouldn't be surprised if Zorn sleeps in and misses a few pick. Okay, actually I would... but he won't need to be there. Day 2 of the draft has less to do about the coach than it does about how good a team's scouting is.

Anyway, here's your open thread. Who do you want? What position do you think the team is looking at, or should be drafting?

Hit it up in the comments. I'll have a Day 2 recap tonight and I'm sure once Skin Patrol gets off his ledge, he'll get a few musings up as well.

Stretch

The kid has a motor, but as far as NFL caliber it will be a chance, as a third rounder it’s a big chance to take. The one upside, I like winners and he’s been a winner.
I would tend to steer away from Notre Dame candidates just for the reason of poor team performance, it’s easy to get comfortable losing, where winning demands more winning.

I have to say it...

Cris Carter is calling some WR from Louisville better than Wes Welker coming out of school. Umm… no. No, no, no. Not even close. Thanks for playing Cris Carter.

Welker came out leading the NCAA in punt returns for TDs. What record does this random guy from Louisville have?

I put up NFL Draft Countdown's bio on him on the main article...

he played LT as a 4 year starter… he projects as both a T but mostly a G. Versitility is probably his biggest asset.

He is apparently still “raw when it comes to his technique” so Buges gets a project to work with. I like it.

Bryant or Barrett

Although, so many connections exist which we don’t know about. I think that is the real change in the Redskins, unless someone can get insider information from a trusted source then the players are not rated as high. Cerratto or Zorn forgot which had a good friend on the training staff for Malcolm. The insider stuff is why it’s so difficult to figure who’ll be picked.

by dr WNC on Apr 27, 2008 12:47 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

from Nfl.com

Pick Analysis:Rinehart was very impressive at the Senior Bowl and has good strength. He’s able to pull and moves well for a guy his size. He may have potential to play tackle as well, but has not played against strong competition so he will need some time to develop. He gives the Redskins depth on the offensive line with a chance to grow into a starter.

commentary attached to that link:
Make no mistake, Justin Tryon will give up some big plays. He’s a gambler by nature, and he can get burned as a result. But this undersized corner plays with tons of heart and fire, and as you’ll see on Draftguys TV, those qualities often give him the edge against bigger competition. Tryon’s a mid-round cornerback who could develop into a Nathan Vasher type of player.

NFL.com says

Pick Analysis:Tryon has good feet and is able to change direction well. He could be a nickel cornerback. While Tyron is undersized, he’s a good fit for Washington’s scheme.

I'll have to

view him because work blocks most media stuff. Initally I was lik WTF with all the Wr’s/TE butnow i’m all about it especially the way Zorn says he plans to use them

by CptChaosSidekick on Apr 27, 2008 1:23 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

My issue:

If the pick of Fred Davis is evidence that we’re going to be going with a lot of two TE sets, then perhaps it wasn’t the best idea to go with two WRs.

My guess on the Malcolm Kelly pick is that he was simply too good to let go at that pick. In other words, it was a best pick available move. There’s a certain appreciable logic to that strategy, but we had a lot of needs and I wouldn’t have minded seeing us address more than one need on the first day of the draft.

Then again, our D was 8th last year, offense was 15th. Offense needed more work and got a lot of help yesterday.

Go register. Or else.

by Skin Patrol on Apr 27, 2008 1:26 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

A postive but negative point

The odds of both Kelly and/or Thomas being a bust are very small, the drafting of two will give the Redskins no less than one Very Good player….possibly two but the Redskins should have the big reciever for sure as one of the two will be outstanding in the NFL

by dr WNC on Apr 27, 2008 1:29 PM EDT to parent up reply reply actions actions   0 recs

OR

Both will be awesome because they have a big chip on their shoulder(s) Chad Johnson and T.J. Houchmizada (sp) where drafted together and that worked well. I really think we hav a chance to be a top 10 Offence

ESPN Insider takes on Rinehart

Obviously the interior of the offensive line is getting up in age and the Redskins found value here. He will be brought along slowly with the intent of taking over next year. He plays with a mean streak and should be a good fit in the Redskins’ zone-blocking schemes.

Pretty interesting

segment on ESPN about him right now. Apparently if he isn’t drafted or else signed by a team and stays there for a year, he remains in the Army and could very likely end up in combat. So getting drafted for Campbell is a lot more important than for anyone else, since it could mean the difference between, say, Washington DC and Iraq.

From the Insider

Skins trade their 5th round pick while on the clock. They send the 157th pick and the 228nd pick (7th round) for the Rams picks at 168 and 180 – both sixth round picks. So the Skins end up without a 5th round pick after all, but have three 6th round picks and two 7th round picks, both of those are comp picks at the end of the draft.

by CptChaosSidekick on Apr 27, 2008 2:47 PM EDT reply reply actions actions   0 recs

Why?

I don’t understand why the team feels they have more value at 6 and 6 instead of 5 and 7. At this point, it’s the higher rounds where the real value is, not like you’re trading from 1 to get a 2 and 3. boo on that

Only thing...

I can say is that the picks we got are higher in their respective rounds. They got our mediocre 5th rounder, we got their good 6th rounders, they got our mediocre 7th rounder.

Still, the last pick in the 5th is better than the 1st pick in the 6th, so…

I’m calling it a wash.

I say it's not all that bad

Three rd 6 picks & two number 7’s is good because they’re trying to add more players for depth. We need a lot of depth accross the board. More players= more and better competion IMO

But a 5th round trade to get two 6th round trades would be good, forget the 7th

 Round 6, Pick 14 (180) (From Broncos through Rams)      
 Round 6, Pick 20 (186)      
 Round 7, Pick 21 (228)      
 Round 7, Pick 35 (242) (Compensatory selection)      
 Round 7, Pick 42 (249) (Compensatory selection)

But the Redskins have 3 6th round picks and 2 sevens. Which still leaves them with 10 picks and not a lot of room to sign Non-drafted Free agents without some changes to the roster.

freakin out on the insider comments. there’s a lot of whining bitchies on that site

I think there are some good reasons

to question this pick, but the hyperbole over there is totally unnecessary. Is a 6th round pick really going to make or break the team one way or the other? One commenter said this pick was the reason we’ll always be a mediocre team… That’s obviously overstating concerns with this pick.

There’s very little a team can do to ruin its franchise with a 6th round pick.

He's a Projected 6th rounder

Picking second made sure the Redskins got him.

The Redskins stated the board lists the key 150 players, which they have targeted.
Cerratto said they are picking on value, may not be a need but appears to be value, where you pick the next Ray Guy. Not only distance but his accuracy is talked about too.

I'm not crazy about picking a punter

but let’s be honest about what Derrick Frost is not; a top tier punter. He’s mediocre, and this guy could be good for years to come. His only weakness is that he overkicks… fine with me. I’d rather have a leg too strong than one too weak.

Go register. Or else.

The Pick Sucks for the Fans but in football "sense" it is right

The Fans including myself are looking at needs, we see areas that the Redskins need to improve, which they themselves said they need to improve or add Depth: DL,OL S etc. but typically the best kickers are taken in the sixth round as Value picks
Cerratto said all the picks were going to be value picks not need picks, the Redskins were choosing on the best value. They traded out of the 5th round to get the Second pick of the sixth round for top punter, a value pick.
Just like the second round, the redskins did not need 2 WR, but the value played out that way.
Again with Barrett he is valued as a 6th or 7th rounder, another value which happen to hit a need.
I’m not a fan of stricly value picking but that is what the Redskins said they were going to do, the cool thing they have now said Chad johnson is in the past too

I read:

The most important aspect of selecting players in the 6th and 7th round is to select them based on athletic ability which reads high potential to coach and become something special, to select a smart and athletic player seems to fill that expectation exactly.

From what I'm reading

Marcus Dixon DE from Hampton is a popular choice for our next pick

Colt Brennan.

We have a Hawaii fan on the site who is thrilled, I’m sure.

Good pick, good young qb to develop behind Todd Collins and Jason Campbell. The real comparison here is between him and Jordan Palmer, who we got with a similar pick a year ago. The reason that comparison is interesting is because there really isn’t any; Colt Brennan was many times over a better college qb than Jordan Palmer was.

Go register. Or else.

Vinny Cerrato:

On Colt: Jim Zorn really liked all the intangible stuff, how he was in lockerroom, the leader he was on the field, way he carried himself. Looking for a guy to develop. He can come in, take his time to develop, is a guy who set a ton of records, threw a bunch of tds, had some success. Can’t discount all the victories and all the touchdown. Mel was ripping him.

Mel: Was not!

Vinny: Was Jaws, ok.

Trey Wingo: Jaws is always the bad guy.

Vinny, on what Colt has to work on the most: Dodges it, says we have the right guy to coach him in Jim Zorn, Colt is coming into the perfect situation with no pressure, time to learn, to develop, under the right staff.

Vinny on having picks, trading, new philosophy, etc.: 10 picks this draft has been fun. Trades really helped us out in moving back to get the guy we wanted each time. Gathered picks without giving up anything. We felt like we got 1st round value on all three 2nd round picks.

Vinny on what Redskins need to do to compete for playoffs in NFC East: Must be physical, capable of running the ball, and stay healthy. Need to play good early on the road.

I'm happier

then a Hog in shit with this draft! I give it very strong B+ Not only did we make more picks, the value for which we got them was outstanding. Color me fucking excited!!! the only way we could’ve done better is to bolster the pass rush but our D didn’t exactly suck either

Great minds think alike.

I felt bad. I was talking to my girlfriend when it happened, was telling her the story and all that… she asked me who he got picked by, I said he’s going to Detroit, and then without thinking about it I said “I’d prefer Baghdad.”

I apologize to all Detroit natives.

The Redskins had a good draft. Finally Snyder understands you just can’t buy SuperBowls and you need to build through the draft. Let me just say I’m not a Redskins fan but my team and the Redskins have one common enemy – the Cowgirls. I live in DC and get ticket to Fedex field from work so I’m excited for you guys this year. The 2nd round picks and a 3rd round OT are beast picks – Zorn WC offense is gonna be nasty with Portis and Betts in the backfield, Thomas and Kelly on slants, Moss deep and Randel=El with gimmicks. I don’t understand why the Redskins didn’t pick up some D-line help. Actually they just got DE out of Kansas St.

Good luck this year, I’ll be looking forward to the MNF match up between the Redskins and my Steelers.

It'll be interesting to see who the undrafted pickups are...

Still some potential players available.
Overall I have to say this draft has the Stamp of Zorn, Cerratto and Snyder, I also think it talks of the future.
The Redskins will remain the power running with strong passing over the next 2 years but Snyder and in some ways possibly Zorn want to open the offense up into a high flying passing game. Snyder has always wanted a Run and Shoot team, review his actions and it’s almost obvious with his hires, free agency pickups and drafts. He’s found a coach who may know how to balance the game but provide enough aggressive passing to make Danny happy. This Draft has that written all over it and does put a stamp of approval on Zorn for several years…in my opinion.

Rookie FA's

I’ve scoured the web to find any rookie FA’s we might have signed but can’t come up with any. The only rumor I could find is the signing of a G from Appalachian st. (sp)

Anyone got anything, or am I the only one needs to get a life?

Oh

that DE from Hampton, Dixon the ‘Skins fans had an eye on… is a Cowboy. Reason #562 to hate them (this is from hashmarks over at ESPN)
