Jeff Fisher knows how to build a defense. Donald is a beast.

We don't need a WR anymore, but Marquise Lee still on the board is a huge surprise.

!!!

if it were not raining I might have tried to squueezze a round in before take off

stay at Disney in Orlando.

Is just happy we did not trade up into the first round
 
Well that was exciting! Have to admit I nodded off after the jets pick (around 3:30???), and only woke up for Bridgewater. Missed Johnny, but did catch the cameras locked on Jerreh and the troglodytes at the Cowboys draft party. Them booing when they went for somebody that addressed a need on their team instead of Johnny Football?!?!? Priceless.

Some VERY nice options at #34 now. Twitter seems to think we've got the hots for Kouandijo. Nix looks like BPA so would be tempted to go there... I like Su'a-Filo... maybe Lee... or trade down? I'm running on adrenaline and coffee at this point!

Got to deliver a best man speech Saturday afternoon at my best mates wedding, so can't get away with another all nighter, but eagerly anticipate finding out what we've done, and what you guys think.
 
Have everything DVR'd...gonna watch it tomorrow after work. I am happy Johnny Football was drafted by Cleveland though, lol!
 
Personally i still hope we go Defense, draft OL later, Kouandijo scares me (knee)s Moses not high on...BPA...i say Tuitt would be better than Nix...Stephan Tuitt ..IMO i like (TUITT) better,...if we don't go defense trade back to get some more picks

although best player available probably LEE....he is a good receiver and RETURN MAN.....just saying ;;WR not a glaring need..how many we gonna keep on the Roster...Moss, Hank, DJax, Garcon, Roberts,..etc ...?
 
I was gungho OT, either Moses or Bitonio, but now that Nix is available, I'd go that direction. Well, that's assuming the Texans don't grab him. They can't draft another Carr at QB... Can they? Lol

Now that's NFL fan dedication, lol. No chance I'd DVR the draft if Washington wasn't picking. :)

Watched up through the Brownies taking Manziel with a Cowboys fan. He was worried all evening JJ was going to 'go there' on Johnny Football, so when he didn't there was a palpable sigh of relief. Which lasted about 3 seconds.

Then he said "I needed help on defense, not the OL."

Love it.

Of course, when the Skins finally make their pick, I can flat guarantee that there will be those around here who slap their foreheads.

Over/under on how many times some variation of "same old Skins" is posted on BGO this weekend ... 3.

Over/under on how many times the name Cerrato is floated ... 5.
 
Keim's Day 2 Redskins primer ...

Washington Redskins have plenty of options at No. 34 - ESPN

The Redskins didn't make a pick, nor did they make any trades. But they were able to see some players who could help them fall to the second round. Which will give them plenty of choices when they make their first pick of the draft.

Washington will make the second pick of the second round when the draft resumes Friday night. One thing the Redskins did not do Friday was trade backup quarterback Kirk Cousins. Cleveland had offered the Redskins a fourth-round pick, an NFL source said, but the Redskins stuck to wanting a high pick (likely a second-rounder). It's debatable if there is any market for him because of the high price tag -- though the Redskins made it clear earlier in the offseason that they did not want to trade him.

Here are some options at 34:

RT Morgan Moses: Moses is an athletic tackle, but also inconsistent. He was better as a senior -- and was excellent against Kyle Van Noy in their limited matchup. But Moses has a tendency to play too upright and would need to fix that or else have problems. I like his long arms, which bailed him out of trouble in college. But I did not like how he handled run-blocking assignments at the second level -- something he'd need to do in the outside zone scheme.

Here's my write-up on him.

RT Cyrus Kouandjio: I really like his ability, but his knees are a concern and I've heard that definitely might scare the Redskins off. He showed good footwork and strength as a run blocker and had a little attitude as well. But he was not as consistent in pass protection, thanks to his balance and footwork.

Here's my write-up on him.

RT Joel Bitonio: He's considered a good fit in a zone blocking system because of his ability to get to the linebackers. He does not have prototypical measurements for a tackle (6-foot-4, 302 pounds; arm length just under the desired length of 34 inches) but he makes up for it with terrific makeup: a leader, hard worker, etc. He also blocks with a little attitude. He ran a 4.97 40-yard dash at the combine.

LB Kyle Van Noy: The Redskins like his versatility, as he can play outside or inside in a 3-4. They definitely feel he can play inside in their scheme. Though Van Noy did not handle this role in college. When he lined up inside, it was in coverage or to rush. But he did a good job of shedding blockers on the edge, which gives the Redskins confidence he could do the same inside. However, 34 is a bit high for him.

Here's my write-up on him.

OLB Jeremiah Attaochu: Has very good quickness and is considered a good athlete. He has good size to handle the outside at 6-foot-3 and 252 pounds, but he would probably have to add about 10 pounds. He did a solid job against the run in college.

DE Ra'Shede Hageman: He had top-10 ability, but did not always play at that level. Otherwise, of course, he'd have been selected in the top 10. He dominated at times and made plays that made you say, 'Wow.' And then he'd do nothing for a while. The fact that he only had two sacks was telling. But he's athletic enough and big enough that he could provide a good push inside. Not sure the Redskins are big fans.

Here's my writeup on him.

ILB Chris Borland: I don't see him as the choice. There are too many other players Washington likes that are available and I did not get the sense that the Redskins felt he was a good fit. I think he's better in a 4-3; he will have issues in space, but would be a good physical player when facing straight-ahead running teams.

Here's my write-up on him.

WR Marqise Lee: The Redskins do not need to pick a receiver high in the draft. Their top three receivers all are under contract through 2016. However, injuries are always an issue and Washington lacks depth at this position. Lee dropped too many passes last season, but he was much more consistent the previous two years. He's had a tough background, but his intangibles are considered strong. He ran the 40-yard dash in 4.52 seconds at the combine.

DE Stephon Tuitt: Projected by some analysts to go in the first round. Isn't considered to have a quick burst, but plays with strength. If the Redskins want another player to provide push inside, then he could be worth a look. However, there are questions about his durability and his motor.

Another option: Trading down ....

Quick responses:
What would you rather be the mind set
Highest potential
Lowest bust potential

I want a guaranteed starter, so I go with lowest bust. Need a sure fire guy, not a potential project.
 
If we don't draft O line, I'm going to be as they say, flabbergasted.

Umm...we're falling to the 2nd round? Or is a player falling that could help us?


Edit: And we don't need a super star at this pick. Like many have suggested, there are a number of players who have fallen...we just need one who can be a solid starter for years to come...think Jon Jansen.
 
Yeah, agree with you. Injuries in particular scare me off with a 2nd round pick. I think we need to get a bonafide starter from day 1 with this pick, someone to plug in for 4-6 years.
