It feels like Ron or a good portion of his scouting staff is still on payroll.If they didn't like Cooper, I'm questioning they're ability to judge these players.You have your opinion. I have mine. Not sure where I said anyone couldn’t. I just think Washington fans are now programmed to hate everything. And it’s sadOh come on man...us fans have a right to ***** and comment. This is a message board. Keep in mind I've been a fan since before Gibbs 1.0 and have stuck by the team all these years. Part of being a fan is caring about the team and bitching and having an opinion. I will always root for them. I don't really buy the whole "never have an opinion because you are not a GM" argument. 1. Sometimes teams do screw up and fans are right 2. NFL makes $ cuz passionate fans ***** and complain. It's not like I'll ever not root for them. But it's just an opinion just like fan opinion that we ignored offensive line last year and the fans were right!After getting the QB, I think he's trying to get the BPA regardless of position. This is how you build quality and depth all over the field. We may be shocked at some of his picks to come. I'll trust the process. I wouldn't expect him to come to my job and know more than me, anymore than I expect us to know more than him. If he had failed for a few years, then we ask questions. For now just enjoy that we are getting quality players even if many draft nerds that don't have jobs with actual teams say otherwise.And Philly gets the stud CB who could have helped us. I sure hope Peters knows what he's doing. Sorry for being negative but I can't really see what he's doing. Getting more picks...but will they be impactful players? I dunnoWashington sends picks 40 and 78 to Philadelphia for picks 50, 53, 161.
PS just realized this may sound like I'm coming at u personally...sorry if it comes off that way...not intended. Cool?
We got the Heisman winning quarterback, which is in all likelyhood step up from any quarterback we’ve had in a long time. Fans are programmed to look at him as RG3. It’s a fair comparison, but they are completely different people and situations. Daniels can also read defenses. Rg3 couldn’t.
We got the number one rated defensive lineman. And he was the clear cut number one. Fans are programmed to believe Payne and Allen are great history doesn’t show that. And even if better coaching uses them more effectively, I’m not gonna knock them getting the number one defensive lineman in round two.
We got the number two rated tight end. And he was well ahead of Javtavoin Sanders as far as the rankings go on most boards.
We got the number one nickel cornerback. And since about 60% of plays in the NFL are played in Nickel or dime that seems good.
We got an offensive guard and while not as high as I would’ve liked them to get one. the guy has starter written all over him.
I mean, they didn’t trade with Philly out of number 40 if they liked any of those cornerbacks. So the answer is they didn’t think much of DeJean Cooper or kool aid McKistry. if they did, they would’ve taken them. They are flat out saying to Cooper and Mckistry you are worse than who we traded down for.
They will be right or wrong on many of these pics. But overall, I think it’s a B grade draft. Which is better than the F minuses Bruce Allen and Ron Rivera pumped out for us over the last 10 years.
none of our opinions matter. They are fun to ponder and put on a board which why we are here. But All that matters is the record that comes out of this team over the next 2 to 3 years that’s how Peters and Quinn will be judged.
They're really not going to like him when he has a pick6 against us every year for the foreseeable future.
These are all things Ron would do: "☑" = all things Ron would do.
☑ They took the Emmanuel Forbes of QBs at 2.
☑ Signed 2 starters from the Panthers.
☑ Drafted a second round DT to add to the collection.
☑ Re-signed Cornelius Lucas to play LT.
☑ Half assed middle round guard project in the mold of Saahdiq Charles and Braeden Daniels to groom as your LT.
☑ Retread QB in Mariotta to start.
☑ Spent more $ on defense than the offense.
☑ Signed Wes Schweitzer I mean Nick Allegretti.
☑ Fixed the center situation and called it a day, totally something Ron would have done he called that the most important need last offseason.
☑ Andrew Wylie remaining at RT.
