And with the 21st pick in the 2008 Arrowhead Pride Community Mock Draft, the Washington Redskins select:
Texas WR Limas Sweed
Official Arrowhead Pride Parade with the pick:
As much as I'd like to fill the "U" gap left by his memory (R.I.P. 21) and go with Calais Campbell, I have to pick Sweed, based entirely on scientology. Plus, sliding a "U" past Primetime will cause him all sorts of agony. Common sense and general blogger consensus seems to favor Calais, but people forget who runs the Redskins. The rational value of youth oriented defense might be important for Chiefs fans to remember should Jake Long not fall, but not for instant gratification loving Redskins. (To be honest I also think a lot of mock drafts break down around the 20 mark, because someone is bound to have traded down).
Does a lopsided flashy offense sure to bust under it's own wheels sound like the team that brought in Al Saunders in one of the most half crocked maneuvers in recent history? Also, Sweed is a big guy, the wrist injury looks to be mostly draft time bunk at this point. Moss, Campbell, & Sweed sound like something the NFC East would love, I think so, or I think it's enough to get a certain little guy jumping up and down on a couch about if you catch my drift.
