Redskins Draft.

Skins did a good job in my mind. At first, I was a little surprised they traded down with their first pick but after a couple of minutes of thought, it was a good move. They were able to get more picks and they were able to get the guys they would have ended up getting with that 21st pick anyway. They will also save money having not to pay first round type salaries.

Obviously, WR was a need and we certainly addressed that with Kelly and Thomas. We end up getting two larger WRs which is what we were looking for. Given that we will be running some 3 and 4 WR sets, it makes sense to stack up on the WRs. We ended up getting two of the best in the draft. We also picked up the TE Fred Davis from USC. The guy was the Mackey Award winner last year as the nation's top TE. He's a big guy with good hands. Again, we will be running some double TE sets so it seems like a good fit. Still, I will admit that I was a little disappointed we didn't get a D lineman. I know the defense was ranked 8th last year but we need more production from the left DE spot. Daniels is just too old and he should just quit football and pursue his world strongest man dream. Maybe the thinking is that Chris Wilson can take more snaps at DE. He certainly has the speed but he is undersized and isn't as good against the run. Apparently he is working hard in the offseason so maybe he will improve. Also, I had heard at one point the Skins considering moving Daniels into the interior. At this point of his career, it may not be a bad move. He is a big strong guy that might be better suited in the middle now that he has lost some speed.

Well, I expect the second day of the draft to be spent on the defensive side of the ball and some O line depth.

Give our draft grade from the first day a B-. Like the guys we took but I lower the grade because I thought we should have gotten at least one defensive guy.
