Sounds like every NT prospect... lol. Seriously, tough to find a good NT for 3-4 D.

After seeing all the responses to my question about Powe's negatives - he won't be drafted by Shanny - work ethic questions? - That kills the deal right there.

"Eat himself out of the NFL" - Now, that is a serious problem.

Oh, I left out "in a year" of the eating quote. "A year?" - That makes is even worse.

If things stay on course the Skins will go OL with their next pick and select G Keith Williams.

"...stay on course..." HAHAHA! :lol:

What the hell does that mean for any team in this draft, much less the Skins. Oh wait, is Keith Williams a Husker? That would make sense.

Picking an OG/C would be a welcome change from the past two picks though.

+1 doesn't have to be a Cornhusker

Rated a 5th round steal:

Washington Redskins: WR Niles Paul (selected #155)

He’s built like a running back and is a powerful strider down the field when asked to get vertical. I can see him making plays both from the slot and on the outside for the Redskins, plus he’s a load to bring down after the catch. The biggest question I have with Paul is in regards to his hands. However, it has more to do with his concentration than his ability to pluck the football.

Evan Royster - Penn State

Royster is Penn State's all-time leading rusher, but he lacks the explosiveness to be as effective at the next level. He shows the ability to consistently find running lanes and can make defenders miss in the hole. However, he lacks the breakaway speed and lateral agility to consistently pick up big chunks of yards. Also, he is not a very powerful runner and will not gain many yards after contact. Overall, Royster is a productive football player that does al l the little things well, and he could sneak into the second day of the draft.

At 177, #Redskins take RB Evan Royster of Penn State.

Lots of wr options

No doubt they're great athletes, I just feel we have more holes to fill. But that's why I don't get paid the big bucks I guess.

I feel that they gave up on OL in the Draft. They will address the OL in FA.

We should have a heck of a great Special Team though ... :lol:

This may be a stab in the dark, but the last wide receiver is the steal of the draft for return guys according to ESPN. Brandon Banks days may be over.

I was just about to post something similar to this... This kid is fast, and has more ability to play in facets other than ST, as well. Considering the changes made to KO rules this year, this is makes some sense.

Given the choice, why choose Royster over Todman (Chargers took a few picks later and rated higher). Not criticizing - just curious if anyone would have an insight beyond Royster being local.

Royster has a lot of mileage on him. Over 600 carries at Penn State.
