Looking Ahead -- Very Bright Future?

[l3lind golfer]

Now, I got to thinking. Lets say Brockers turns out to be a good DT for us and Jenkins is a good CB. I think both those guys could really put our defense to another level, if they reach their potential.

Realistically speaking, I don't expect us to make the postseason next year, nor do I expect the Redskins to make the postseason. So we could possibly be looking at two top 10 picks in the first round next year.

Not to jump to far ahead, but our future is looking really bright as of right now. Not to mention we have the Redskins first round in 2014 as well. This is an exciting time for us and I'm looking forward to it. We have a real shot to build our team into a legit contender these next couple of years. Hopefully we nail these draft picks.

I'm pumped.

Agreed. It's nice to see some sunshine on the horizon for this team. Its been a while. Our future resides on drafting well, particularly with 2 firsts next season and the following. Lets hope our front office knows what they are doing. If they do, we should see the playoffs again

If Golfer is being optimistic...I don't think the rest of us on here can think otherwise!

In all honesty, I'm very surprised as Fisher's draft style here... Normally he's a little more conservative with his picks, but every single draft choice so far has been a risk. Brockers is raw, Pead is raw, Jenkins has character problems, Johnson is raw and has character problems., Quick is raw. Sure, you could make the argument that every single draft prospect is raw, and that's very true. However, I think the barometer for being able to tell which ones are more NFL ready than others can be used. I would say out of the 4, at least one of these guys is going to struggle, and I'm sure two will struggle in the first year.

But I also feel that there's a good likelyhood that at least one will turn into a stud, maybe 2. 2 studs in the first 3 round would make this draft successful. 3 studs, and consider it one of the best drafts the Rams have had in ages.

Here's what I'm hoping. At the very least, Brockers turns into one of the best run stuffers in the league. That along with Long and Quinn would be amazing. I'm also hoping that Janoris Jenkins can produce as a CB. Not necessarily INTs, but just quality coverage, which I believe he can do.

Quick was a good pick at WR, but I think he's a #2 guy in the big picture with the potential to be a #1. I'm not really worried about it, because we should have two pretty high draft picks in the first round next year, and there are some STUDS at WR, MUCH better than the WRs in this draft.

I think that, although all of them are "raw", it will help them develop as a unit and as a team. With JL55, Finnegan, and Long providing leadership on the D side of the ball, I believe that alone will help them hone their talents on the field, and less issues off. Finnegan will help those character issues be channelled on the football field, and less likely in strip club shoot outs.

I also believe that the competitions in practice will produce better players on both sides of the ball. I think you will see a growth in the receivers that we have on roster already (specifically with Salas) in having great cover corners on them each day.
