He has weaknesses with his footwork.

[TCB]

He will be the 5th or 6th lineman taken.

Some one PLEASE check on Dean... I worry for his flat screens health after the pick.

Cmon Shark. You had to be surprised when we passed on Williams.

A little yea, but when the pick came up I was talking with my son and figured it would be a trade down or we were deciding between Williams and Scherff. No other player factored in as far as I was concerned.

I want to know what trade we turned down.

So, Shark, you still smarter than McCloughan? Or you guys equal?

Never said I was smarter than him. But Yea... he gotta clue.

All in all, I'm glad we got Scherff -- as a RT. He had some issues as a LT, but I'm sure Callahan can coach him to be a great bookend with Trent. He's the best RT we've had since . . . Jamal Brown.

Not one of us is smarter than people like Greg Cosell, Andrew Brandt and the like. If you're trying to compare yourself to Mel Kiper, that I'll give you.

 

[skinsdad62]

as smart as not smarter

 

[redskinsfan]

as smart as not smarter

Smarter than Cerrato that's for sure.

Let's hope he can pass block. Having callahan makes me very comfortable with this pick.

“I tell you what, you talk about an athlete,” Kiper said. “Quarterback as a sophomore, he threw for 1,200 yards in high school, was a punter, offensive lineman, defensive lineman his final two seasons. Baseball, track, shotput, discus — he’s done it all. He’s 6-4 1/2, 320. You can say, well his arms aren’t that long. They’re long enough. He’s got huge hands. [He’s] mean, nasty, a tremendous run blocker, and I think he’s got pretty good feet. I think he’s underrated in pass protection. And Jon, you made this point, year after year, Louis [Riddick], we’ve talked about it, [there are] not a lot of great left tackles in this league. That’s the misnomer. Everybody thinks there’s 20 great left tackles. You’d be hard-pressed to find five, and Brandon Scherff, I think can be a left tackle [or] at worst a right tackle. This kid can play the tackle spot.
