OT: 2015 Redskins Part I: Building America's Football Capital (0-0-0)

[Hivemind]

What. The. ****.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Guess nobody cared for Williams enough to move up.

A lot of talk lately about shoulder issues for him.

 

[g00n]

William's shoulder and rawness must've scared SMC into the safer pick at the other position of need

 

[tycoonheart]

So they are gonna play him at RT right?

 

[Cush]

a tackle who will move to guard at 5

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Not mad at the pick. RT is now locked up. Huge hole filled.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

So they are gonna play him at RT right?

Being picked at 5, yes he will play RT. And if he can't play RT then he can move inside.

I guess Scott doesnt believe in BPA after all

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

I guess Scott doesnt believe in BPA after all

Maybe Scherff was best player available to McClou. Maybe.

 

[Capsman]

I guess Scott doesnt believe in BPA after all

I didn't know he told you who he thought was the best player available. Given your inside knowledge, you know who they are taking in the 2nd round? J/K

 

[nyrpassion]

Safe pick, but still can't believe we passed up on Williams.

 

[Cush]

Safe pick, but still can't believe we passed up on Williams.

It's Washington

 

[nyrpassion]

It's Washington

...Yes. I'm a Redskins fan.

They needed to address the offensive line. You can't win if your quarterback is injured or on his back all the time. Scherff might not be the "sexy" pick, but he was the right pick. I love it. You can bet that Bill Callahan is really going to groom him into a good one. If there's one thing that man knows, it's offensive linemen and I'm willing to bet that when Scherff goes on to become a multiple pro bowler, no one will complain.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

I like "nasty, physical; like to finish blocks. Like to get after people".

I like that a lot.

 

[Beef Invictus]

Sure.

 

[mrwarden]

Do I wish they could have gotten him at 8? Sure. But this has been the fundamental problem with the team since RGIII's rookie year. I would take 2 more OL tomorrow.

 

[g00n]

I like "nasty, physical; like to finish blocks. Like to get after people".

I like that a lot.

And yet from his "weaknesses" section on the NFL draft analysis:

Has dominant finishing traits, but not a consistent finisher of blocks. Would love to see more fiery play demeanor from him.

I'm OK with the pick. I haven't seen a lot of him but the film I saw was good. Been begging for o-line help forever so not going to complain.

Yeah. I agree.

Gotta think protecting a fragile Griffin and boosting confidence of all QBs by giving them more than a microsecond for play to develop before they're pressured was a big priority after picking up RGs option.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

And yet from his "weaknesses" section on the NFL draft analysis:

Figures "NFL draft analysis" says opposite of how he just described himself.

Guess we will have to wait till the season to start to see how "nasty" he really is.

Regardless, he might be a reach at 5, but RT was an eye sore of a hole since Jansen left after the '08 season and now its filled. Hopefully.

 

[Berakos]

Maybe i'm the only one, but i don't get the hype behind Leonard Williams.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

At least McClou and friends left no stone un-turned when it came to their homework on Scherff.

 

[Jacoby4HOF66]

Maybe i'm the only one, but i don't get the hype behind Leonard Williams.

Its the hair.

 

[usiel]

Love the pick. OL was what I wanted.
