NOTES ON THE SELECTION OF LB SHAUN DION HAMILTON
· Hamilton is the 472nd selection made by the Redskins in the Common Draft era (since 1967) and the 57th sixth-round selection in that time frame. He is the 83rd sixth-round selection by the Redskins all-time since the institution of the draft in 1936.
· Hamilton is the second linebacker from Alabama selected by the Redskins in the last two drafts, joining LB Ryan Anderson (No. 49 overall in 2017). Including the selections of DL Jonathan Allen and DL Da’Ron Payne in the 2017 and 2018 drafts, respectively, the Redskins have now selected a defensive lineman and linebacker from Alabama in back-to-back drafts.

· Alabama’s 25 all-time selections by the Redskins are third-most from any school in franchise history, trailing only Notre Dame (34) and USC (30).
· Hamilton becomes the third player selected by the Redskins all-time with the No. 197 overall pick, joining T Len Vella (1962) and QB Gus Frerotte (1994).
This is the only pick I was like Meh to not because he sucked this kid is good I don' like drafting injury type players and hoping he stays healthy . Kind of like that rb we had from Georgia we will seeI like this pick

Yep same time last year i was like holsey knees are destroyed .. wait and see but I hate drafting players like thesehe is worth taking a flier on for sure
he is worth taking a flier on for sure
The problem I have is everyone keeps saying "when healthy". That is not a good way to start out in describing a prospect.

Thing is, yes he had the ligament injury. The KNee cap was a freak injury. And I would actually take a bone break over a ligament injury any day. Think he will be healthy, and we got him in the 6th. Plus we arent expecting him to start.
In the 2nd or 3rd I would have been wondering about the pick... in the 6th, if a 6th rounder can be a steal, this guy might be it.
I thought he had an ACL tear in 2016? My point is, I would rather take a less talented player who can stay healthy than a talented player who has had season ending injuries two years in a row. We need ILB help...no doubt about it and I would have rather taken a healthy ILB prospect.
