Love the pick.
Great value. The guy runs a 4.3 physical too.

I know we have 3 starters from the first 3 picks.

It would be amazing if we are able to have a number of these guys start here on day 1 - then again, this roster does need a lot of help

I just hope that we continue to add players that can possibly become really good NFL players for the Redskins in a year or 2
Until recently, Snyder & Allen have made a lot of really bad decisions - nobody with any sense believes this franchise will get better under their guidance

This is a really, really good NFL draft to have a bunch of picks - LOVE the 3 we've added and hoping for more from the 7 picks to come

If that QB from Pitt is available he might be worth taking a shot at in the 5th round

theses guys are doing an OK job so far

I was wondering if we might grab him in the 4th round. Not expecting that in the 5th round. I don't understand their QB plans, but it seems like they're content with Cousins/McCoy/Sudfeld for now.

Nicholson is the first really questionable pick so far. Dude seems like a complete nobody.

He fits the mold of a cover two safety perfectly, although I think they could have gotten him later.

I'm a MSU grad and watched every game this year. I am very disappointed in this pick because the guy just never performed this year. He was getting burnt right and left. With that being said, there were people running wide open all year.

Been busy and checked our picks. Anyone surprised no qb? Before we picked up the right end I saw the Miami qb is still available

Peterman is gone to Buffalo. Now we can stop hoping we draft a QB with no arm strength.

His measurables are great, but the knocks on him are that he lacks toughness, misses tackles, and has low self-confidence. That sucks.

It will be interesting to see which player has more impact in the league between Roullier or Bucky Hodges. Wonder why Hodges fell?

I'd say they did a great job, very professional, no drama. I wonder how far ahead they saw Allen would be available so they would know to sit pat.

I'm prettty stocked about Allen... Losing Baker was inevitable imo, now it's an upgrade for a fraction of the cost... I'm with it!!

there were many that felt he is very similar to Kirk Cousins - that didn't work out too bad for us

I think it's interesting we didn't draft a qb.

If we had drafted one early, I would have really wonder about Kirk's long term status with the Skins.

If we had drafted one later, it tells me they aren't so sure about McCoy or Sudfield.

NOT drafting one at all tells me, we are keeping Cousins long term AND/OR they feel comfortable with McCoy/Sudfield as replacements.

It was smart not to draft a qb.
You want to send Kirk Cousins the wrong message by drafting a qb?

If we are fully committed to Kirk then no Qbs.
Even if it's a Sam Darnald no.1 prospect.

The front office has shown they are fully committed to Kirk by tagging him and building this team around him.

I don't think that anyone wanted a QB that would be a threat to Cousins - but we're going to need a QB soon

over 220 players were drafted - most of them are not going to be starting for a year or 2, if that

No point in wasting a draft pick on a Qb who's not good.

If we're gonna draft a qb make sure he's good. I don't believe in half measures.

With that said I'm glad we didn't draft a Qb.

Overall I think the draft was very good. Only picks I didn't like was the TE and Rb at that point in the draft. Nothing against those players in fact Perine should be an asset on short yardage and goalline.

I still wanted a true NT. Hope Phil Taylor works out.

we were never going to become a consistent playoff contender with just 1 draft - too many holes to fix - like always, we're getting better

we did REALLY, REALLY WELL with the draft but we still have a lot of work to do

now we need to get Kirk Cousins signed to a long term deal
somebody has to figure out how to give him the money he wants and be able to pay everyone else
if that can't happen, I'm OK with not paying him - it's not like we're a great team with Cousins at QB and nothing without him

I see that many 'pundits' think the Redskins did very well with their picks

it's a great start - hopefully they get the QB signed to a deal that both sides can work with

What the actual *f$ck*? Did you even see the video? The woman hit him first. All he did was defend himself.

Cleveland got a 1st round draft pick in the 6th round because there's some stupid double standard about how men aren't allowed to defend themselves from women.

If she had put her hands on me I'd have knocked her ass unconscious, too.
