Default As for the Redskins.....

I think Kerrigan could be a nice addition opposite Arakpo, which should get his totals up which is a positive. Kerrigan causes a lot of turnovers, hopefully he'll bring that to his pro game as well. Instead of reaching for a QB they trade down, got 2 picks in Rd 2, and can address other team needs. This team is NOT one player of need away, so the extra pick is another plus in my opinion. Let's see what they do tonight in Rd 2 hopefully get another O lineman, then perhaps a young QB to groom behind whoever they decide to start.

I like the fact that the Redskins didn't take any of those QB's. Was there anyone in there that looked like the next coming besides Newton who really could be any kind? Before I get lambasted, I am not saying Newton will be anything, I am just saying he has the arm, size and speed and will certainly get the chance.

How about an offensive lineman? They could have taken pouncey or even traded up and gotten that kid from USC.

Bush is not dependable. He is injured too often, and when he is in the game, he makes more than his fair share of mistakes, especially considering how well he is paid. The Saints can function just as well with Pierre Thomas and Chris Ivory in the backfield.

Bush is apparently not very happy with the selection of Ingram. He tweeted last night. "it's been fun New Orleans."

It's funny, remember how much crap the Texans took for passing on him?

Roddy White's tweets didn't make him sound too happy about the Falcons mortgaging the draft for Julio Jones, either.

I think you guys got a steal with that Temple guy. He will be a beast under Rex. I'm kinda jealous eventhough I'm thrilled with the Eagles pick. We needed O-line help more than any other position. CB is a close second but hopefully we get somebody good in FA.

Yeah, I hope so. I wanted a more traditional pass rusher, but a close second for me was getting younger on the DL. Rex can line Wilkerson up all over. He's a little raw, but he's got the potential to be a beast. Would love to see us trade back into the second round to snag Ayers or Reed or Moch.
