One pick in and we haven't screwed up yet!

(I hope his t-shirt is not a statement of things to come)
There are those who naysay and said the Redskins could've traded down and still gotten a good offensive tackle and also picked up some picks (being they don't have any today, in the second day of the draft). I say fuck it man, I'm just glad they actually picked sensibly for once. We needed offensive linemen more than anything else on earth, which usually meant Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato would've traded our 4th overall pick and Laron Landry for another running back with a famous name and not much else. Or we would've drafted something we already had, like a tight end (although nobody picks a tight end that high in the draft... usually).
I am glad we just have a fucking offensive lineman. Sure, they probably could've gotten a few extra draft picks if they had played it smart like the Broncos, and traded back multiple times. But look at the Broncos being the laughingstock of the NFL by drafting Tebow in the first round. THAT is more like a Skins move, except it would've been us trading up to the first spot in the draft to get Jimmy Clausen.
The funny thing was, listening to the draft on the satellite radio, Vinny Cerrato in ESPN coverage was all like, "They'll draft Russell Okung, because he matches their needs," and that little weasel John Clayton was like, "No, it'll be Trent Williams" as apparently all the insiders knew of that pick since like 4 pm yesterday afternoon (which begs the question, if no one was willing to trade up to steal him, is he that good?), and when it was announced as Williams, Clayton asked Cerrato outright how he (Clayton) could know more about the Skins than Cerrato? That's some funny shit. Eat fucking AIDS ass Vinny Cerrato. You don't know shit about football, brah. Nothing.
So I was stoked about the Skins doing the right thing for once. Then news came out about Trent Williams connections to the current Skins, namely chronic underachiever Malcolm Kelly being his main homeboy, all the way back to fucking high school. Seriously, the Redskins have drafted a guy in three drafts in a row from the same fucking high school in Texas (LB Robert Henson is the third, and is the guy who had the twitter scandal about how Redskins fans sucked for booing this sorry fucking team last year). How does that happen? And how fucking good must that high school be? And how the fuck did Oklahoma not contend for a national championship last year with 3 of the top 4 picks in the draft? Lots of questions, very few answers, because the NFL draft is all about speculation and conjecture.
Well, the speculation and conjecture regarding Trent Williams is that, athletically, he's unstoppable. But motivationally, sometimes he's lazy. Wow. Aren't we trying to get rid of a guy like that in Albert Haynesworth? And Trent is tight with Malcolm Kelly (Kelly convinced Williams to go back for his senior year at Oklahoma so he could get top 10 pick money instead of 2nd round pick money), which isn't exactly the greatest fiery motivational best friend to have. Malcolm Kelly has shown very brief flashes of brilliance, is mostly injured, and sometimes looks like an outright pussy on the field.
But I am an eternal optimist. Well, not really. I'm just stuck with a team I've been for my whole life, so I like to pretend shit's gonna be okay. So Trent Williams, who has not really played left tackle, will transition well because he's so athletically gifted. And his presence will cause Malcolm Kelly to explode into the receiver Vinny Cerrato was sure he was when we took him as part of our big second round receiver bonanza in 2008. Donovan McNabb will not be crippled, but if he is, Jason Campbell will still be on our team and hungry to prove all the naysayers wrong in the ownership box and he will be the black John Elway from here til eternity.
Did I mention we have no picks today? We do have both Jason Campbell and Albert Haynesworth available, but everybody knows they are available, so nobody wants to give us anything for them, because it's funny to see what happens in those situations. We still need a lot of things. A lot. When our turn in the second round comes up, I heard GM Bruce Allen say they'll sit back happily and realize they essentially drafted Donovan McNabb with that pick, which actually sounds pretty good. Except we also gave them a pick next year, and if Donovan ends up crippled, blind and crazy five games into the season because of a hodgepodge offensive line led by a lazy multi-millionaire monster too busy designing speed boat paint schemes with Haynesworth, then next year, we'll sit back and say that we don't have shit to show for the pick we're not taking. Kind of like our sixth round pick tomorrow, which was lost for Jason Taylor, who has actually played on two teams SINCE he's been here.
Depressing as fuck man. But at least they didn't fuck up with their 4th pick. When you have been mismanaged and shot in your own foot as consistently as the Redskins have been in the past, well in the Dan Snyder era really, then you have to go to sleep a happy fan. At least they didn't completely fuck it up this time.
