For all those posters who bought into that BPA lock and stock and barrel, without regard to Need..........
I saw Schefter report that top three players on the Redskins board were:
1) Fowler
2) Amari Cooper
3) Brandon Scherff
Took the top player on our board.
And I seriously hope you're not going to point out that we happen to "need" every player we draft this weekend. We freaking "need" every position.
That's really interesting how the board turned out to be.

OOOF!
Of course, now we will hear from you-know-who on how the board itself reflected need ... you know, like the guy at #2.

This is a GREAT pick
Scot chose the best player available in his estimation for this franchise - he did not choose the best player available which is Williams
GREAT pick and obviously not by Snyder - we're gonna love this pick for the next 10 -12 PLUS years

Like I said........we shoulda been "clued" in by what Scot might do when we took Pot Roast and Paea earlier this year. We will still get some LBs in the later draft, round 2 or 3.

I'm just not that surprised Williams wasn't as high on McGLoughan's board as he was on Kiper's. We brought SM here because he supposedly knows how to pick the right players and build a team. I'm hyped.
RGIII and Alf shoud be hyped too.
How about BJ Finney at center around the third or fourth round now?

According to whom though, man? Mel Kiper?
Williams went #6. Why didn't the Jaguars take him at #3 if he was the best player available?
I'm not saying he's not, but that all remains to be seen. There isn't some definitive list handed down from God's own personal draft board on who the best players are.

According to Adam Schefter, Scot thinks the first two teams picking passed on the BPA, that the next two got it right, and that we got the 3rd best football player in the draft at #5.
I'm going with Scot for now.

I'm okay with this pick. I would have liked Beasley, but I'm good with the best offensive lineman in this draft. With respect to Williams, I had a hard time seeing him as a great pick, simply because he doesn't seem to rush the passer as well as you'd like to see.

... but don't you realize that since we had a need on OL, the fact that we picked this guy at #5 implies we had him ranked as highly as we did and we drafted him there because of that need?
Can't you see that's why we had a WR ranked #2 overall - becuase we only have Garcon and DJax?

I hope we get a monster OG with the second pick. I know our defense needs to improve but a strong running game would take a lot of pressure off of the defense and our QB. Please find us a monster OG in round 2!

I was disappointed earlier but am feeling slightly better about it now. I wish we had been able to slide down to the 8 spot, but it is what it is. COme next season, I expect we'll be glad to have Scherff on our line. Whether it's RT or LG, I'm OK. I just hope Bill Callahan coached him up to play better than he did in the bowl game against Tennessee because he was eaten up by a freshman in that game.

Laken Thomlinson is an impressive young man.

We finally have bookends. Lichtensteiger is solid at center. We know we need an upgrade at RG and I think one of our two rookies from last year have a real chance to fill in there. I'm also a little higher on Lauvao than a lot of people seem to be, so maybe it's him that gets replaced instead. (Or maybe we get two new starters along the interior.)
Anyway, I can really start to picture how we build a good o-line from here. Settling RT like this is huge.

Jim Haslett said it best...BPA within what you need...a really high first rounder has to fill a hole and play day 1.
I think BPA will play a bigger role as the draft gets further on.

Me too. Even more guys will emerge who are ranked higher by Scot than by anyone else.

He said he'd give a QB serious thought too, but I'm thinking neither were very high on his board.

Here's something that intrigues me. In the ESPN story from December, the writer says that he and McCloughan were watching some tape, and McCloughan freeze-framed a LB making a read or changing direction or something like that, and he said that he'd rate the guy as a mid-rounder whereas most people probably had him as a seventh-rounder at best.
I've been thinking about that anecdote since we hired him. If we end up drafting a LB in the middle rounds that people talk about being a little bit of a stretch, will that be the guy from the story?

Yeah and this is what Scot did in the past with the 9ers. He picked Oline in the first round for a few years until he built a line. Sort of like what the Cowboys have done recently. I could only hope we find 2 guards and a bigger center.
Everyone needs to be 300+ and run maulers. Then we can get back to playing smash mouth and forget this pansy, back peddling, finesse football we were playing before.
