Re: Love Waived By WFT
Isn't it crazy how many injured guys we've drafted or signed thinking we were getting the deal of the century? "This guy should have been a first round pick but he had a devastating knee injury!"
Peter Schrager goes crazy and gives us Travis Etienne to us at 19 in his mock draft today:

I think this was pick also widely mocked today by folks on the web!First-round running backs might be a dying breed, but I love this addition to Scott Turner's offense. Etienne is electric between the tackles and in the open field as a ball carrier, but also adds value in the passing game. Washington still needs another playmaker or two on offense to be a threat in the NFC.

I saw that too. I love all the speculation around the draft, but I hate it too.riggofan wrote:Isn't it crazy how many injured guys we've drafted or signed thinking we were getting the deal of the century? "This guy should have been a first round pick but he had a devastating knee injury!"

Still need a playmaker or two? With Gibson, McLaurin, Samuel, McKissic, and Thomas?
That seems a bit of a reach. Especially with our NEED at linebacker and at tackle.
Sean Taylor was one of a kind, may he rest in peace.

I'd like to see another RB added to avoid overworking Gibson. Not sure that any of the other backs on the roster are what we need.

I like Barber and McK, but as a compliment to Gibson, not necessarily as a replacement in case of injury. It's a tough haul to carry 4 backs on an active roster too.UK Skins Fan wrote:I'd like to see another RB added to avoid overworking Gibson.

Barber did well at what he was asked to do last year, but I'm greedy - I'd like somebody on the roster who can contribute more than just a handful of short yardage carries. Maybe Lamar Miller is that guy?BossHog wrote:I like Barber and McK, but as a compliment to Gibson, not necessarily as a replacement in case of injury.

I'd agree that running back at #19 would be a luxury, when left tackle or linebacker would both make a greater immediate impact - and offer really good options in this draft too.
