2010 NFL Draft - Redskins Select TE Dennis Morris From Louisiana Tech In 6th Round

This Redskin’s selection makes a lot more sense now. Sellers has been a good fullback for a long time, but he is getting long in tooth. I, as should all Redskin fans, trust Mr. Allen’s and Coach Shannahan’s judgment on such matters. If they like this, then all us fans should like this.
HAIL TO THE REDSKINS, FIGHT FOR OLD D.C.

I hope Morris beats him out. Sellers let us down many times. I remember his missed blocks that got CP and Betts clobbered on crucial plays at the goal line. Totally whiffed on blocks, proved by replay. Portis had every right to complain, and Sellers had the gall to look like the aggrieved party. The media hit CP on it, but should have blamed Sellers. We all remember the Cincinnati goal line fumble disaster, too. He’s just not that good, so I hope Morris beats him out.

and can easily pick up at fullback where sellers left off. If management thought this position was a need, John Conner, the best fullback in the draft went in the 5th round. Horrible choice for a draft that, except for the first round pick, turned out to be pretty mediocre. Not Vinny horrible, but still pretty bad.

Redskins culture has to change! we cannot get too attached with players anymore. STEELERS, do not hesitate to replace players, that is why they are competitive year in and out, same with Patriots.

These teams know the value of picks and if they can trade and stock up, they’ll do it because there is so much talent in the draft. Did you guys realize how many TE were taken in this draft?

Draft picks are so valuable, Dennis Morris selection can be taken many ways, as the replacement for Cooley or Sellers as a FB, we have a stud in Fred Davis who proved can be as good as Cooley, and he is younger.

Shanahan recently said that in the future he sees very unlikely that he will give away draft picks, because he understand they are valuable and is the right way to build a football team.

With that said, I think after this season Chris Cooley should be traded for a 3rd or a couple 4th round picks and find a way to deal him.

For the 2011 season he will be 29 and may still have good value, also depending if he has a good 2010 season. I know Cooley is a fan favorite, but this is about winning football games Redskins nation. WE GOTTA STOP GETTING TOO ATTACHED TO PLAYERS!

Don’t be surprise if Cooley gets traded before the season starts, some teams may be ify about Cooley because of the injury he had last season, but he still has value, and I really hope a trade happens for a future draft pick.

other players to watch that wouldn’t surprise me that could get traded, Andre Carter, McIntosh, Roger, Landry and Haynesworth, but yet many teams rarely look at players from a 4-12 team.

My favorite move has been SELVISH CAPERS, was considered a top 5 OT, would be great if he can get plugged to the line from the get go, along with Williams.

when a player scores 6 TD’s with aprox 600 receiving yrds in half a season, that should tell you something. Yes he is still young he has some flaws, but he will only get better.

Cooley is going to turn 28 in July, in 2008 he only scored 1 TD and played the entire season and was healthy, last year he scored 2. Look not taking anything away from Cooley, he is still a beast and still productive, but redskins culture has to change, we cannot continue to get too attached to players, he still has value, and if we can trade for him would be a great scenario.

Cooley is a fan favorite, but this is about winning games and getting a championship. TE are replaceable in this league, just look at the previous draft how many got selected.

I’ll take a 4th round for Cooley.

First of all, I don’t analyze the player based on one season, Cooley in the past two season has only scored 3 TD’s, I’m not saying he’s declining, he is still a productive player, but the main issue is he is almost 30 yrs old and we’re still a loosing team that has so many needs, it hurts to see us at the bottom of the nfc east every year, in 05 and 07 we had winning records, but we had to make a push to win 5 straight games in 05, and 4 straght in 07.

We are not a team that can solidly say we can start 6-2 and then maintain our level, and end with a 12-4 record, they have to bite our behinds to make a run to the playoffs?

how about we build a team out of draft picks like the cowboys have done, 90% of their roster is composed of draft picks, real talented players.

Cowboys don’t have major holes like we do, and of course there not going to get rid of Witten, the skins need help everywhere, and because of that sometimes you have to sacrifice certain players to fill other needs. Eagles didn’t hesitate to let Dawkings, Westbrook, McNabb, Lito Sheppard, Sheldon Brown, Chris Gocongs go for draft picks, and I wonder why they have been competitive for almost a decade.

We maybe be better than the eagles for 2-3 yrs, but what if we keep giving away picks and just instead of gaining them? we will still be in the same situation while the eagles or Giants keep building from the draft.

Wake up people, its been 18 yrs, our team haven’t gone anywhere, we haven’t been competitive year in and out, we have a year here and there, but thats it, we have been the ugly ducklyng for too long.

I hope our new coaches can make something happen and makes us competitive, and start building our team from the draft from now on.
