OK, I am betting our usernames are based on the same on Danny Rouhier’s PSA.

With regards to the 2008 draft, I remember it as:

1) Wow, we traded down, 3-second round picks.

2) Devin Thomas, not bad, most draftniks have him as the best receiver and gave him a first round grade. Only 1-year of production, but we’ve just filled a huge need. Vinnie is defying all expectations.

3) Fred Davis, who the f is Fred Davis. A tight-end, you’re kidding me. We’ve already got Cooley. Vinnie living down to expectations. Calais Campbell is just sitting there. We desperately need a DE, we’ve just signed his college coach, why didn’t we pick him. Never mind, may be he’ll still be on the board.

4) Nope, Arizona takes him with the 50th pick. Damn it. We’ve picked up two big receiving targets, albeit one is TE. We’ve addressed a huge need, now we need a linemen, offensive or defensive I really don’t care.

5) With the 51st pick the Redskins select Malcom Kelly.

Hey, isn’t that the guy who started out as a first round pick in all the mocks and then plummetted because he has a dodgy knee, missed the combine, got into a spat with his College and ran really, really slowly at his pro-day.

6) Finally, a guard, Chad Rhinehart, with a 3rd rounder. Let’s see what the experts say. Ahhh, they all say reach, about 2-rounds too early. Nevermind, Joe Jacoby went undrafted, maybe Rhinehart will prove them wrong.

7) and on

8) and on.

1) He turned up out of condition and with a dodgy knee.

2) He near as damn it missed his entire rookie season, including practices, because his knee kept swelling up, he couldn’t practice and he didn’t know the offense.

3) Second season, wins starting job with strong camp and pre-season. Hype machine goes into over drive. He catches 25-balls and goes 347-yards.

Much of that season is notable for Kelly’s ability to go for entire games without ever being open.

To add insult, a large portion of his yardage comes from a single long reception against the Charger’s back-ups (who incidentally still managed to crush our first string).

4) Kelly show’s new commitmant, joins new QB McNabb’s Arizona “Hell Week”. Injures hammy. Returns to team for training camp and hides extent of injury from the staff. Manages one practice and is then consigned IR, missing the whole season.

5) Kelly shows tremendous commitment to the team by turning up to the facility everyday whilst on IR. Great. Everything looks promising for a last shot in 2011, his fourth year with the team. Kelly injures his foot within the first few days of training and hasn’t practiced since then.

Nope, I cannot see any reason to cut him there, not with such great hands and all.

Especially, after what happened with Marko Mitchell. Some misguided people pointed out that he’d just had a few good games against bottom of the depth chart scrubs in pre-season, and that probably didn’t mean much. Some pointed out that Shanahan was actually a professional coach and actually got to see him practice, but they should have listened to the shouty types who new he would come back to haunt us.

Though I don’t think were scheduled to play the Edmonton Eskimos this year. Maybe Kelly can join him to form a ferocious receiving tandem with great size and hands.
