Redskins Botch the Draft (again)

Bucky Brooks of NFL.com graded the NFC East draft and the Redskins came in with a C+ while the G-Men scored a B+ and the Eagles a scary A-. In addition to scary A- for Philly in the draft, they traded for OT Jason Peters. The G-Men have the best D line in the league so Philly wisely traded for someone to protect the QB.

The Skins, whose O Line is weak took another path. I would have taken Michael Oher who could protect the QB for the next ten years against the G Men. But we took a DE and and is not a bad choice but it is not the best choice.

The Skins late round drafts are almost comical as they include a linebacker who has not played linebacker except for a few games, a TE when the team already has three good ones, and a WR when we drafted two last year. There is also a corner back who has before day one of training camp angered Fred Smoot by calling him old.
