I know why Hilton hasn't gotten drafted!

Well, I dont know this for a fact, but this is my theory. I remember the year Priest Holmes came out, after he didn't get drafted by the 3rd round he told his agent to notify all interested teams and told them not to draft him. That way, he could control his own destination of who he signs with. Maybe Hilton is doing the same thing, considering he did so great at the NFL Combine. His stock was on the rise, and maybe after Day 1 he said forget this. I'll sign somewhere as an undrafted FA. There is no way this guy would slip to the 7th round especially because a lot of other teams drafted DE's that aren't even close to Hilton's level. Let's just pray he'll sign with us as an undrafted FA....

Nope... Character issues.

Character aside, this guy has skills, there is NO way he would drop this far based on character...

He could be a serial killer and still be worth a 5th pick, the fact we didn't draft him is stupid, hopefully RS4L is right

Brian: Who are the Redskins going to pick with the 151st pick?

Scouts, Inc's Todd McShay: (1:11 PM ET ) The Redskins are coming up shortly. After drafting a safety and a tight end on Day 1, I think they'll be looking at either a defensive tackle or defensive end. Mississippi State's Tommy Kelly and Auburn's DeMarco McNeil are my next two highest rated DTs, while Isaac Hilton (who is dropping because of character issues) and Florida's Bobby McCray rank as the next two defensive ends.

Why would you want us to draft a serial killer?

In Jakes link, the chat guy said available targets were Tommy Kelly! That guy is a beast who was supposed to be a day 1 pick. Damn, if Hilton wasn't drafted because of character issues, we should at least have drafted T.Kelly out of Missippi State! Day 2 has really been stupid so far. Hopefully Tommy Kelly, Isaac Hilton, and TE Jason Peters will all go undrafted and sign with the Skins. I think they could all make an impact and be extremely good players.
