Draft Grade = C+
4 Washington Redskins - OT Trent Williams - 6'4-5/8" 315 - Oklahoma
I think Okung is better, but Williams makes a lot of sense too. Love this pick if Okung is gone. Grade: C
103 Washington Redskins - OLB Perry Riley - 6'1" 239 - Louisiana State
Good value here and good fit for the Redskins here at the ILB spot. Grade: A
174 Washington Redskins - TE Dennis Morris - 6'1" 253 - Louisiana Tech
Morris isn't a good value here at all. Washington didn't even need a TE with Cooley there. Grade: F
219 Washington Redskins - WR Terrence Austin - 5'11" 172 - UCLA
They already have a bunch of solid WR's, and they reach out of the draft here. Grade: D
229 Washington Redskins - C Erik Cook - 6'5-1/2" 318 - New Mexico
The Redskins get a big powerful center who fits the ZBS here. Grade: A+
231 Washington Redskins - OT Selvish Capers - 6'4-1/8" 308 - West Virginia
The Redskins get another starting caliber player for their offensive line here. Capers is a huge steal. Grade: A+
Overall Grade based on talent acquired and team needs met: D
I didn't see them do anything that will make them into the so-called playoff team they are expected to be. To me, they are still an average at best team who's best shot at a winning season is for Kolb and Romo to go down to ACL injuries.
