Redskins Special!

Hey Everyone

I'm going to do a recap of the Redskins Draft.  First off, they trade out of the first round to the 3rd pick of the second round and select Devin Thomas, wide receiver, from Michigan State.  He's a big wide receiver 6 foot, 2 inches, and 217 pounds.  In 2007, he had 79 catches, 1,260 yards, and 8 touchdowns.  He was a good pick and the Redskins have addresses their need of some big, physical wide receivers.  Next pick was Fred Davis, Tight End round 2 pick 17, USC,  he is a great receiver as he had 62 catches, 881 yards, and 8 touchdowns.  He should be an immediate impact. Next pick, second round pick 20,  Malcolm Kelly, wide receiver, from Oklahoma.  At 6 foot, 4 inches, Kelly is a red zone target and should have no problem catching touchdowns for the Redskins, considering the average NFL cornerback is only 5 foot 11 inches to 6 foot.  In 2007, he had 49 catches for 821 yards and 9 touchdowns for the Sooners.  The Redskins next selected Chad Rinehart, 3rd round pick 33, Offensive Tackle, Northern Iowa.  Rinehart will probably move to Offensive Guard for the Redskins.  He has strong arms and should start playing at the start of the 2009 season.  Then, the Redskins drafted Justin Tryon, Cornerback, Arizona State, round 4 pick 25.  He should become the starter soon since Shawn Springs is 33 years old.  Tryon had 56 takles and 3 interceptions in 2007.  He is undersized but loves the game.  Next, the Redskins picked Durant Brooks, Punter, Georgia Tech, round 6 pick 2.  This guy is a one in a lifetime punter.  In college he had a 76 yard punt.  The Redskins picked Kareem Moore, round 6 pick, pick 14.  He had 73 tackles and 4 interceptions in 2007.  He is likely the replacement of Sean Taylor.  The Redskins selected Colt Brennan, Hawaii, Round 6 pick 20. He threw for 14,193 yards, 131 touchdowns, and 42 interceptions.  Redskins selected Rob Jackson, Defensive End, Kansas State, Round 6 pick 35.  In 2007, he had 25 tackles and 2 sacks.  He could be a starter eventually but needs to get stronger.  Chris Horton was drafted round 7 pick 42.  He is a Free Safety out of UCLA.  He had 90 tackles and 4 interceptions.  He will fight with Kareem Moore for Free Safety.  This is a Boom or Bust year for Jason Campbell, he has plenty of weapons and should have a pro bowl season. My song recommendation is Moment of Glory by Sonic Flood.  I just want to let everyone know I will make different Christian media recommendations regularly on my blog.
