Atleast the team is trying to shore up one of the lines. Building a D line that can get to the QB without blitzing=Win. Like the giants.

Go out and get the top prize.

Especially since it’ll be an early 3, haha.

Typical. I expect first and second round picks to start ans third round picks to at least get playing time. I see this as a depth pick only. Maybe they plan to release Wynn. We def need to make the playoffs and force the pick to be late third round.

Jarmon would have been picked higher in the normal draft if he had been eligible. He will play eventually and could be valuable depth behind Carter, Wynn, and Daniels, one or more of whom might be done next year.

This move isn’t like trading a future draft pick for an overrated vet. This is a farsighted move that is representative of exactly the direction we want this team to go.

Plus it makes next year’s decision between drafting an O-lineman or continuing to re-up the D-line a little easier.

We need young defensive linemen. Philip Daniels and Renaldo Wynn are one-year patches. We basically added two extremely young pass rushers with serious abilities this year with Orakpo and Jarmon. I would love to see us use next year’s #1 on a stud offensive lineman.

The reason the Redskins needed to look for a young defensive end is because they have too much age at the left end spot of their defensive line. Phillip Daniels is 36 and Renaldo Wynn is 34. The Redskins can develop Jarmon over the next year to take over the starting job and maybe help at defensive tackle on passing downs.

I’d quote it but can’t via mobile. Thus building for the future begins… I hope.

especially since we actually USED our pick. I think this guy would’ve gone higher in next year’s draft, so this is probably a steal. And now we have pretty young depth at D-line. Once the old crusties retire we could have a rotation of Jarmon, Carter, and Orakpo. All 3 pass rushers. Very nice.

needs to get on the Orakpo/Daniels workout regiment.

Sometimes I think relying on Wynn/Daniels to hold down the Base End spot is even more dubious than expecting one of RT candidates to turn into a above average starter. This gives us more depth this year from a guy who seems perfectly suited for the Daniels role of solid run end with some pass rush skills who can move inside on third down. Plus next year it no sure thing Carter will be back or any good and that leaves just Orapko at the DE spot. JJ with a year experience will probably be better suited to start for us in 2010-2011 than any third round DE we draft next summer would be. If it pans out we don’t need to invest any high draft picks or serious FA dollars on a DE next year and we’ll have our bookends of the future. Plus our best answer for the RT position is to use one of our top 2 draft picks next year to get a young talented dude and this trade doesn’t affect that plan at all as it saves the top 2 picks and diminishes another big need. Finally we are planning ahead and using our draft picks to bolster the line play.

has helped the last 2 Super Bowl teams overcome some shoddy O-lines. I can’t remember the last time we had a dominant pass rush.

I’m still not sure about this pick. If we make the playoffs then it is a steal pickup, making it a late third round pick. However, we need Tackles in the draft next year. If we have a late first and late second round pick we are going to have an issue drafting an impact LT. A late first pick should get us a decent RT assuming the draft depth is the same as past drafts. Having the third round pick would allow us to trade up in the first round to get an LT quality player to play RT (and maybe replace Samuels down the road). Then the second round can be used on a DE who is rated higher then Jarmon.

I’ve read plenty of places where he is rated a 2nd round talent. DE’s usually go higher as well, so who knows. 2nd of all, YES we need more O-line depth, but I disagree that we need more DT’s than DE’s. Haynesworth, Gholston, and Montgomery will be here awhile, and Alexander could be too. The same can not be said of Carter, so we probably need another starter opposite Orakpo. Or, if they use Orakpo at OLB, then need starters at both DE spots. I think this was a forward thinking, gutsy move. I just want to know who made it.

Redskins Insider said Cerrato had him pegged as a 2nd rounder….

Sporting News…not so much:

Weaknesses: Is not an explosive pass rusher, limiting his ability to defeat offensive tackles. Struggles to threaten the corner as a pass rusher, and lacks a variety of pass-rush moves…His lack of explosiveness makes Jarmon a mid-round prospect.
