How are you qualified to say who is NFL worthy and who is not? SEVEN NFL teams since the 3rd round passed on Meredith. Including his new team Green Bay. For you to say he's a future starter or even that he is a better pick than Cody Glenn is just plain silly.
missing the point. not about Glenn's worthiness. it's about value. drafting Tom brady in the 1st round is technically stupid if you can get him in the 6th. drafting a guy that likely wasn't going to be drafted is not getting bang for your draft buck. it's compounded by the fact that it's at the expense of not addressing what is universally considered a top team need. OFFENSIVE LINE
That is not at all what the first poster said. But to your point we don't know these team's draft boards, or the process. If he had gone undrafted who says he signs with us? We saw a guy we wanted in a position we thought we could get him and we pounced. The Redskins are actually working the phones talking with other teams in in their opinion this was their chance to get a guy they wanted. To assume he's a special teamer who will be cut is as ridiculous as assuming he's blossom into a superstar who will be a household name in two years.
There's no minor leagues in football. These project picks never work out. Especially ones that aren't special athletically anyway. Matt Jones, ARE, Brad Smith, and Pat White all succeeded because they excelled at another position and were special athletically.
Actually there are several leagues that develope players. Some still around, and some not. But just to name a few, Canadian Football League, Arena Football League, European Football Leage (No More) and lastly, the United Football League (starting 2009/2010). Feel free to speak with Jake Delhomme, Mike Sellers, Kurt Warner to name a few.
They aren't under the NFL teams control, which is my point.

That may be a good thing though and for the success of those leagues, they want to get the players into the NFL. That will help them sell seats with marketing tactics like "Come See Tommorows Starts."

Ok, he's intriguing. Matt Jones had the atheticism of a number one overall, he just couldn't play qb. Thats why he was able to develop into a WR. Its a shame his head was in the wrong place.
I wonder if they take a FB. Might keep Sellers quiet.

And some history of injuries, which would follow the trend of the first 3 picks. It looks like Vinny believes that's how to get value. Definitely boom or bust potential, I guess.
Don't forget that Dexter Manly Jr. is out there too and I wouldn't be shocked if we took him in the 7th with our last pick. Heard he's a scrapper and something tells me his Dad has taught him a thing or two about getting to the passer.
With the 158th pick just obtained from Minnesota, the Redskins have drafted Cody Glenn, an outside linebacker from Nebraska. He'll supply depth and special teams help.
Glenn was suspended from the team indefinitely and also faced a civil suit while at Nebraska. He spent three years as a tailback for the Cornhuskers and then switched to linebacker as a senior. Glenn's suspension arose from ticket scalping, according to a league source. He is very raw but certainly has athletic ability.
