Redskins Draft Class

I'm glad that the Skins stayed put and didn't trade up. Carlos Rogers fills a need but I feel that they would have been much better served taking Mike Williams, who could make an instant impact on offense. Carlos Rogers, on the other hand, will be the third corner behind Springs and Harris, and won't get the ball in his hands to make game-changing plays.

As for the #25 pick in Jason Campbell, the term project pretty much equates to a worst case scenario of bust. I am very down on this pick. What makes matters worse is that the Skins have established #2 and #3 quarterbacks in Brunell and Hasselbeck, respectively. The Skins just recently re-signed Hasselbeck. Perhaps now they plan on trading him away for a low pick in next year's draft? If he stays on the active roster, does Campbell get allocated to NFL Europe and/or the Skins keep 4 QBs on the roster? That seems highly unlikely. This pick should have been used on a WR or DE that can step in and contribute right away. Everything in the NFL is very short term. A QB for the future should have been the least of their concerns.
