I really couldn't let this go...as much as I would not have selected Watt at #11, you can't say that he's 'slow' and then turn around and say we need some 'speed' with Akeem Ayers!

Watt is 6'5" 290lbs and ran a 4.81 - 40 and a 6.88 -Cone.
Ayers is 6'3" 254lbs and ran a 4.81 - 40 and did not register one of the fastest times in the Cone so it wasn't reported.

The 2 guys I'd like at OLB, Brooks Reed was clocked at 7.11 and Justin Houston turned in a 6.95 in their 3-Cone drill, so Watt did better than those guys in terms of quickness. Even the much-heralded Von Miller scored a 6.7 at the much lighter weight of 246lbs. So, Watt is NOT slow.

Just found out that Ayers ran a 7.52 in his Cone drill. Not worried about him going to the Titans.

Brooks Reed, Justin Houston, Chris Carter, Curtis Brown, Brandon Harris, Sam Acho, Martez Wilson, Kenrick Ellis, or Rahim Moore. I'd be happy with Davon House or Jarvis Jenkins too.

Please.....come on Texans.

[Arky]

Redskins take Jarvis Jenkins @ #41. Texans up next....

I'll take Brooks Reed for $100, Alex....

Brooks Reed! I thought for sure he wouldn't make it to our pick.

Another white boy ? Dang, the NCAA is gonna be protesting.
Sorry, sorry I really like the pick. He can rush the QB.
Hey, isn't that Mitchs teammate ?

Got anymore numbers at your fingertips, Roy?

Reed had the fastest 10 yard split of any defensive lineman at the combine.

OK Rick Smith has now had his best draft on paper. Watt is a solid pick, not my favorite, but a solid high motor guy. Gives us on the field options and off the field options with Mario being in his last season of his contract, and Smith not being happy with being in a 3-4.

Reed a solid pick at 43, I would have been happy with him, or Harris ,and then Rick Smith pulls off getting both Reed and Harris. Nice!!!

Our 3-4 just got better.

Sadly the lock out is back in place at least until mid week, so no FA signings yet.

I am a happy campier right now. A much different mood then I had last night.
