we traded for the sake of trading

Vike's 5th and 7th

Vinnie is going to turn water into wine.

This time it will work for sure!
~

what a dump a$$ we need the LB and he gives it away to Minn.
I can't stand it anymore.

I would have taken Jamon Meredith. But maybe he'll stay on the board forever.

Looks like our fifth for their 5th and 7th

Did i beat JLC to that?

traded for 12th pick in seventh round

Skins got the Vikings 7th rounder.

Vikings have/had picks :

#158 overall (we were sitting at 150 when we traded back)

and #221 overall (which we traded to them for Erasmus I believe)

Fire Cerrato.

looks like 158 and 221 for 150

LOL we got our own pick back, that's awesome

So either we have multiple players and feel comfertable that one of them will be available 9 picks down, we have no clue who to draft and need time, or vinny needed to prove he could trade

I would have taken Jamon Meredith. But maybe he'll stay on the board forever.

knock on wood. everyone

looks like the vikings 5th and one of their 7th

not an awful move if both Meredith and Duke Robinson are still on the board.

Brinkley was the pick, he's a slow guy and wouldn't have been much help for us IMO.

Could be an okay move, but really, I don't get too excited about picks in the 7th round.

Unless Alex Boone OT Ohio State is available in the 7th and we make that pick.

If we end up picking up Duke or Meredith here inthe 5th, and then a guy like Boone in the 7th, I think I'll be satisfied with this year's draft. Not overly excited about it, but satisfied.

Stop whining, this is a good deal for us. We trade down 8 spots and we "gave up" a middle LB that we had no interest in. We also grabbed a 7th rounder. What the hell are you complaining about?

This trade down is fine-- we all know our boy Morocco scouted these late rounds; he won't let us down.

5th round- Duke Robinson, G/T
6th round- Herman Johnson, G/T
7th round- Cecil Newton, C
7th round- best available OLB or K or KR

Who cares about an extra 7th rounder that will turn into Gibran Hamden?

==============================================
I have to guess people don't like his pass blocking, which is what random peeps on WF said.

I think we needed center/guard more than a pure guard, as that player would provide depth now and a replacement for Casey Rabach in the future.

Now, I think we're into looking at projects.

I'd consider Alex Boone (OSU) in the 6th, he was a projected 3rd rounder until he got arrested for being a drunk (yet again).

Get him back into AA, make sure he stays there...it could be worth a 6th rounder.

anyone know why duke robinson is sliding so far? he's the #2 rated guard by SI.com.

On ESPN, it looks like they got an extra 7th rounder

so basically we got a shot at eramus james for 8 spots in the 5th round. worth the chance i guess

Duke now, Meredith or Boone next, LB last!

So the skins can pass on him at 128.

Since the ESPN boys brought it up....What are your thoughts on Vick....Yeah it's whack.....Just want to see what ideas are out there.

Duke Robinson has weight and character issues.

So Erasmus James was worth 7 spots in the 5th round. Hilarious, it all works in circles. 7th rounders aren't much but gives a chance to have the rights to players we may have to fight other teams for as undrafted FA's.

Vinny's doing everything he can to avoid re-building the O-wall...

It;s college, ain't it?? Everybody drunk!!

hey, who was that PR/KR guy I heard people talking on about here as a possible 7th rounder or UDFA?

also, I like the list posted above with Duke Robinson and Herman Johnson, but I'd also like to see us take Alex Boone or Jamon Meredith, both OT's. That's two new guards and two new OTs to compete. We don't have to keep 'em, but some of those were 3rd round grades if not higher. I've seen Duke projected as first, although his sliding so far has me worried.

Its not about the middle linebacker moron, its about taking the chance of giving 8 teams a shot at a guy that could really help us and that its amazing that Duke fell this far.

columbus knows how to party

watch philly take him right in front of us since their shopping Andrews.

OLB Marcus Freeman from Ohio State off the board.

Ouch, I thought he would've been a very good pick. I bet we were hoping he'd fall to us at #158. I think we would've made that pick.

Should make it easier for Vinny to draft OL though...

Duke still on the board and peeps were crying because Skins did not pick him in the 3rd.

Maybe Buges something us arm chair GMs don't know.

Looks like ESPN got a Staubach clone to hang around in the Pokes pen after they banished Ed Werder, LOL

Why draft this guy when you know he's going into the NFL drug program from the jump?

Just read this about Duke. Something is shady here with him sliding like this.

3/24 Update: Heading into Senior Week, the NFL Combine and Oklahoma's Pro Day, the biggest thing keeping Robinson out of the first round was his weight and conditioning. However, the 6-5 guard worked hard to make an impressive physical impression on NFL coaches and scouts. He now has the look of a professional football player and he very well could be off the board by the end of the first round and the first interior lineman taken in the draft.

If we end up picking up Duke or Meredith here inthe 5th, and then a guy like Boone in the 7th, I think I'll be satisfied with this year's draft. Not overly excited about it, but satisfied.

What IF Napoleon had a B-52 at the battle of Waterloo?

No wait, I believe Saturday Night Live answered that one decades ago.

What if we had traded up a few spots in the 3rd, and got Antoine Caldwell?

I know you watch the SEC, I don't think I've seen your opinion on that player.

another OT off the board, Xavier Fulton

not really sure what his story is, but any OT going off the board is a bad thing for us right now

"Why draft this guy when you know he's going into the NFL drug program from the jump?

Posted by: TWISI | "

cause we'd be spending 5th round money of him

if he messes around and keeps screwing up, we cut his butt. But a potential first or second, even third round talent at a position of need for us is still there in the 5th? We even traded back to pick up another 7th and he's still there? It's almost a no brainer.

JESUS HELL, DRAFT DUKE ROBINSON ALREADY!!!

two OTs in a row off the board......

skins may trade down again

Gotta be something in the back ground on the Duke.

Eagles up...we are next.

Down here, would be fine with another trade back for another pick.

macho is gone

Skins up and Duke still there...hmm...

Meredith and Robinson still available, just like Oher was still available 10 picks after we picked Orakpo; sort of makes you think maybe our scouts know a bit more than all of the "scouts" that post on here, including the beat reporter

Macho to the Eagles.....DUKE is on the board freaking take him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would've liked Caldwell a lot.

The Bama line last year was probably the most dominant OL I've seen since I've been watching SEC football religiously in about 98 or so. MY memory from then is hazy, but I can say they are definitely the best OL I've seen since about 02, 03, 04 seasons. Nothing from there stands out.

but Bama has a junior that stayed that was just huge, like Phil Loadholt huge. He was gonna go, but for some reason I'm not sure of he stayed. He should be a 1st rounder easy next year.

and Macho Harris off the board, I wonder if we were looking at him at all...

We're up.......

On the clock. I'm with anyone who says we should take the Duke...

Truth that would make sense if the skins had more picks. No need to watse a pick on someone who has to work on personal issues as well as adjusting to the nfl game

Meredith and Robinson still available, just like Oher was still available 10 picks after we picked Orakpo; sort of makes you think maybe our scouts know a bit more than all of the "scouts" that post on here, including the beat reporter

Yeah, cause their track record is amazingly strong......not

We picked....

Lets see how we screw this up....

Cody F-ing Glenn?

And Duke is still on the board!

"Watch your futures die" - the Borg Queen

Macho Harris is an iggle, I think I'm gonna vomit.

wtf....cody glenn?

Cody Glenn

OLB Nebraska

Who the heck is Cody Glen????

wow.....a linebacker.....wow.....do they just not care about the 16 point a game offense, how do you totally ignore it?!!?!?!?!!!

this guy has 9 games experience at OLB?

3 years as a running back?

51 tackles last year?

come on wow, we should've drafted Freeman with our draft choice instead of trading back. That didn't work out at all. Awful!

http://www.draftcountdown.com/scoutingreports/olb/Cody-Glenn.php

Cody Glenn

And thats how we screwed it up.....

Another linebacker ... gee as if we don't have enough? Oh well, its all Jason's fault even when the Owner's favorite complains about the line he has to run behind.

Cody Glenn started his career at Nebraska as a RB only switched to OLB last year. Not a fan of this pick...

http://insider.espn.go.com/nfldraft/draft/tracker/player?id=24802

espn doesn't even know who cody glenn is...

wtf is wrong with these people. everyone knows the O'Line sucks! why wont they draft any linemen?!!!!

Who cares about an extra 7th rounder that will turn into Gibran Hamden?

Posted by: hehateme | April 26, 2009 2:54 PM

Don't hate on Gibran...he is still making bank as a third stringer for buffalo...

unbelievable, they're fing morons.

Cody Glenn..Must be for special teams..wtf

I just want the team to focus on absolutely NOT addressing the glaring need of an aging offensive line. Good good.

is the offense ever going to get some love? oh thats right we signed a cat who has been out of the league for 3 seasons.....

ANOTHER DEFENSIVE PLAYER!!!!?????

everywhere I'm reading didn't even had this guy as a probable draft pick

What I liked about Caldwell, along with the C/G's off the board earlier, is the versatility.

Your center of the future is good enough to help at tackle right now? Awesome.

Conversely, you're not going to draft a college tackle and then tell him to start handling the ball.
~

Speachless... I feel like a fat kid that just dropped his ice cream

Questionable to say the least.

And the Eagles take an OT right after us. I swear Vinny is such an ahole.

So, let's see they've solved the linebacker weakness, and the corner back weakness, the defensive line weakness, all that's left is to draft another safety.

Meanwhile, back on offense ... the Giants and Eagles are going to have a field day with this team.

Projected as a 7th round or Free Agent.

So I guess the offense is just fine...

I really am starting to think that the FO wants Jason Campbell to fail to make themselves not look AS stupid. "See, we told you he wasn't our guy" as JC is laying on his back after taking his 30th sack for the year...

I propose we do a quick kick every first down and just pray our defense scores on turnovers. Terrible.

2 LB's and a CB....

curious...not sure when we're gonna rebuild that aging O-line. I do think Dock is a big help there but we need an RT and another guard that isn't in their 30's

So, let's see they've solved the linebacker weakness, and the corner back weakness, the defensive line weakness, all that's left is to draft another safety.

classic!

is the offense ever going to get some love?

cl, next year. be patient. this experiment is almost over.

jeez. not taking meredith or robinson for another 6 foot linebacker smacks of mismanagement, period.

Only one way to trade our FO:
Stop going to games.
Stop going to Six Flags.

Who knew the Redskins MVP of the 80s-early 90s was Jack Kent Cooke :(

They must think Glenn can be a nickel LB and cover backs and TEs

another friggin' linebacker with another tackle available? stick a fork in this draft. it's done.
