I have to laugh so I don't cry. This team should have at least a couple starters on the team from this draft, instead we have 1 back up and 6 people not even in the league.

Surprisingly, Rinehart is still in the league. That draft did kill us.

that was one of the Redskins worst drafts it set the team back for a couple of years

Three washouts in the 2nd round. Now that Fred Davis is suspended, this just totally plagues this draft. Devin Thomas was a pretty boy, who did not take football seriously. Malcolm Kelly could not get on the field because of injury. The only thing he did was have a 84-yard catch and run vs. the Chargers. Now, there is Fred Davis. A very talented TE, who couldn't see the field. In 2011, he finally emerged. Later that year, he gets suspended. In 2012, he was balling, but tore his achilles. Last season, he got in Shanny's dog house and was replaced by Jordan Reed. Now, he is indefinitely suspended. I can't do anything, but shake my head. Good grief. At least, Rob Jackson has shown some playmaking ability, when he replaced Orakpo. Still, he's a backup.

jackson was a 7th rounder and he appears to be the best of the lot RHino starts so maybe shanny blew it

Redskins could have had (going with positions we went with)
2) WR Jordy Nelson (Devin Thomas)
2) WR DeSean Jackson (Fred Davis)
2) TE Martellus Bennett (Malcolm Kelly)
3) G Rinehart
4) CB Brandon Carr (Justin Tryon)
6) P (Durant Brooks) No other punter taking in draft

Rinehart plays...he's not a consistent starter and didn't fit the ZBS.

Yea... vinny was a moron, or if you listen to him a scapegoat for Dan. I think he was a little of both. 2008 was a draft we could have seriously used a wayback machine for. But then again so were most of the drafts between 2000 and 2013 all things considered. If I knew then what i know now, I would likely have bum rushed my way into Ashburn on draft weekend and hit the veto button on many of the picks/trades/clusterfucks this team has made over the last 13 years. thats the wonder of hind sight. And even on some of the picks/trades we did make which some of us thought were bad... it sucked to be right.

Yea that one stung a little bit. Not much else to say.
