[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.

CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
I just saw that...
good for him. He’ll be a special teams stand out there for sure. And working out in the same weight room as Ray Lewis shouldn’t hurt.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
Justin King
would be a good pick at our spot
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Steve Slaton
in the 3rd to Houston? Dunno about that
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
anyone online here?
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
I am...
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
I think SO FAR

CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Dallas Trade
Roy Williams???
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Dallas has been wanting to get rid of Roy for a very long time.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
I meant
the WR. it was a trade w/ det
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
nevermind
they get det’s next yr’s 4th and this yrs 111th pick
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Don't fuck with my emotions like that...
that’s not funny.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
What???
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
I guess I missed it...
I hope that didn’t just happen.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
you missed it
because ESPN blows balls
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
You are correct, sir.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
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?
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
Avril goes #92 to Detroit...
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
Shit
I open my mouth and there goes Cliff Avril to DET Any details on dallas trade?

What do you
people think Justin Kimg???? there goes our QB prospect from SD St
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
I'd prefer a DL...
but I like King.

TexSkins - April 27, 2008
Chad Rinehart, OG, Northern Iowa
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
Do you
know anything about him?
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
thats where I go
for my info
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008

I like what they asy about him
Tackle not Gaurd?
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
Good stuff...
I think he’ll end up being a G… but he could fill in at T is the team needed him to. Like I said above, he seems able to play 4 of the 5 OL spots.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
Quick break... I'll be back for the 4th rounder...
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
dallas

King to St. Louis
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
Yeah bummer
but love what i’m seeing in our OG pick Rinehart. Elite talent of the “smaller schools” versitle could play T to= sweet ass sweet IMO
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Looks like...
Washington traded down in the 4th round and picked up a 5th rounder… details sketchy… but ESPN’s DraftCast has their new selections.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
WHAT?
damnit ESPN hook up the details when possible
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Got Details!
Skins send the 103rd pick to Tennesse for the 124th and 157th picks

early fourth round trade…I like it
Redskin insider is praising the front office
oh my positives from the post
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
Thoughts?
We going O-line/ D-line the rest of the way??
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
With a QB thrown in somewhere, yeah.
There should also be a S or a CB along the way… but a large part of the rest of the draft should be devoted to linemen.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008

There should also be a S or a CB along the way… but a large part of the rest of the draft should be devoted to linemen.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
Defensive has got to be in the future
The top 4 picks all offensive, you’d think Defense plus a QB somewhere.
We’ll see if Cerrato sticks to the best available, if so I don’t see them taking a QB
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
Dallas
again trades…wow…still suck
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Opps!
Johnson from San Diego still on the board, thought he got drafted
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
wasn't he picked?
or was that a QB from SD st?
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
That was O'Connell from SD St.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
Dre Moore
is #2 on Mel’s best left list..hope he lasts until the Redskins get there
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
I doubt it...
They’ve got 16 picks for him to last through.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
He's #5 overall based on Scout
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
Red Bryant from Texas A&M is still there...
he could be a possibility if Moore is gone.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
Overall, ok
A good many performers still on the board
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
NFC East
trading a lot..dallas at it again to
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
East is a beast
NFC east is looking to get stronger and they are…I see everyone being at or above .500 next season. With the Giants being the team left behind and out in the cold as three teams still make the playoffs.
dr WNC - April 27, 2008

Wasn’t some talk about barrett at safety from Arizona state
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
Yes
I believe so
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Steltz from LSU is still there.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
Not any more to the Saints he goes
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Dre Moore
to Tampa
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Moore to Tampa.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
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.
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
Bryant gone to Bears
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
I mean Seattle
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
I'm here.
Kudos to TexSkins and the rest of you for keeping this thing going.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008

The gambler thing...
is what they said about Talib.
TexSkins - April 27, 2008
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.
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
You can never have too many cornerbacks.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
What he lacks in instincts and awareness
he may make up for in speed and effort.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
By the way, I have some fanshot videos up of
Devin Thomas, Malcolm Kelly, and Fred Davis.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
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
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
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
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
Definitely protects against a bust possibility.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
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
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Not so much
more two TE sets but way more flexibility in formations. Should be a ton of cool formations
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
I read "coachable" somewhere
and we have excellent staff at that position.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
Justin Tryon is AWESOME
read this from the insider. I ate it up with a spoon and you will to!
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Love the confidence.
He’s coming after Shawn Springs job; I don’t know if he’ll get it, but whatever happens he’ll be great for print.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
I'd like to see Caleb Campbell
S from army drafted with one of our late round picks
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
peanut gallery
at the draft are eating it up. They’re chanting USA at him right now, he’s talking to Trey Wingo

yeah I read that earlier. Chris Cooley is hands down the Coolest player in the NFL & maybe all of sports.
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
and now we have two
Davis is another Chris Cooley, could the Redskins be so lucky.
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
Michael Smith
impressed with how we traded out of first but still got our guy (Devin Thomas)
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
Jason Campbell
is going to need a lot of footballs. So far I love our picks, I’m a little worried about the D-line situation but overall are offence should be potent.
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
No excuses.
Redskins went out and drafted all the pieces necessary to make him a star. It’s on him to do the rest.

I think
we need an OLB rather then a ILB but no answer for why he hasn’t been drafted by someone.
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
I thought Dan Conner
fell too far as well. That impacted the rest of the ILB board.

I’ll update with terms once I find them.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
This Curious to me
but what the hell do I know?
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
updating
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
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
BlackOps - April 27, 2008
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.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
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
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Insider has it but not much
out of the 5th into the 6th
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
Breakdown(ish)
2nd and 14th picks in the 6th for the our 5th basically
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
I'm jumping in the shower, be back in a bit.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
NFL.com got it different but they've been more wrong then right
But a 5th round trade to get two 6th round trades would be good, forget the 7th
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
ignore this stupid post
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.
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
Think of it this way
it breeds competion better players will make the team. I love it.

Everyone's
freakin out on the insider comments. there’s a lot of whining bitchies on that site
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
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.
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
FO' Show
make a value chart for target players, stick to it and everyone else can go to hell
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.

Barret Barret Barret!!!!
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
no Barrett
Read your comment thought they picked him while typing,
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
IT'S ON!
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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

Meh,
not crazy about the pick but whatev.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
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.
dr WNC - April 27, 2008
From what I'm reading
Marcus Dixon DE from Hampton is a popular choice for our next pick
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Notice, A lot of the Redskins picks are JUCO players

LOVE THE PICK!
Burgundy and Gold - April 27, 2008
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.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
Ha Ha
was just about to mention our Hawaii fan
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
Talking about him on ESPN right now...

Burgundy and Gold - April 27, 2008
Cerrato on ESPN about Colt
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
Jaws:
just said Redskins have had a TERRIFIC draft.
Skin Patrol - April 27, 2008
Mel & Jaws
getting after it about Colt
CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.

CptChaosSidekick - April 27, 2008
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.
TomlinEra - April 27, 2008
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.
dr WNC - April 27, 2008

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)
