oh please, you just would have thought up some other excuse if the Commanders did that.

I was hoping you guys wouldn't draft Anderson or Okoye in the draft.

I was hoping you guys would take Landry or someone else.

I have no clue if Anderson or Okoye will turn out to be great players or not. I just didn't want you guys to get someone who could rush the passer. And I had been saying this to many of my friends back up on campus since well before the draft.

I bet Landry has a good career for you guys. But I'd rather see you guys with a great S than a great DE or great DT.



EDIT: Asthma, Jamaal Anderson went #8 to the Falcons. I know this because my friend is a Falcons fan and wanted Landry at 8. And when the Commanders pick came up, I was praying for Landry to be taken and not Anderson.....and he got pissed at me for rooting for Landry to be taken instead of Anderson. He wasn't disappointed with Anderson....he just really wanted Landry.

Cool. Thanks man. I wasn't sure if Anderson went at 8 or 9. He might have been a tad of a reach at 6 for Washington, but I'd MUCH rather see them with Landry than with Anderson. Anderson will be a very good strongside DE, IMO and would have been just what the doctor ordered for Gregg Williams.

I was thrilled when Washington didn't trade, didn't take a DL and simply took a safety, instead.

They are likely to have a hole at LG too with Dockery leaving. Wade, who will take his spot, has been a journeyman at tackle so far in his career and the likelyhood of him playing anywhere near to Dockery's level is highly unlikely.

If Washington has a weak OL and a weak DL, they're in for a looooong season, IMO.

Same. The only trade I wanted to see them make was for Briggs. But then again, I didn't want to see Chicago get a chance at a blue chip prospect.

Though, in the end, that's exactly what they got with Olson at TE. Someone who should help that offense stretch the field and grow with Grossman (or another QB).

I wanted to see them trade for Briggs too. He's a decent LB, but that's all he is, IMO. Plus, as you know, 4-3 OLB's simply don't make much of an impact. It is the DE's, DT's and CB's that are the big play guys in a 4-3.

I figured I'd rather see them with an OLB prospect like Briggs instead of a good young blue chip DL prospect like Okoye or Anderson.

Turns out, I didn't have to worry anyway... the dummies took a safety at 6. :)

That's even better IMO because he plays even further from the line of scrimmage than a LB does. Of course, I do think Landry will be a good one... but like I said, I'd rather them have a good, young safety than a good, young DL anyday.
