Why D.C. should Bmore: NFL Draft edition

In this next segment (which I will interject whenever I damn well please) I bring light to an issue that people prefer to brush under the carpet.

There is some sort of Metro area (D.C.) prejudice towards the murder capitol (Bmore) and I for one will not stand by while it remains unaddressed.

In this edition I will use the help of my good buddy Mel Kiper, Jr. to explain to all you D.C. area jabronie's why the Redskins Drool and Ravens DESTROY TEAMS WITH RECKLESS ABANDON.


Mel's Draft grade for the proud Ravens franchise:

Baltimore Ravens- Top Needs: CB, WR, LB, S
Summary:  Last year, the Ravens got a lot good value but didn't get much out of the class in 2010. This year, they again got a lot of good value, but also hit on some players that could fill holes a little earlier. The big name is Jimmy Smith, who has the talent to go higher, but could use the guidance that a player like Ray Lewis can provide. Given that cornerback was the biggest need on my board for Baltimore, a value like Smith should have them thrilled. The Ravens also needed a wideout who can stretch the field, and got one with Torrey Smith of Maryland. He's a burner. I would have liked to see an outside linebacker on the board, but Reid is a decent value, and Doss has great hands and helps receiver depth. McPhee is an intriguing defensive end prospect, as well.
Needs:  B
Value:  A-
Overall:  B+

Mel's Draft grade for this poor excuse for a franchise:

Washington Redskins: Top Needs - A football team that can win
Summary: We know the Redskins need help at quarterback, but I'll give them credit: They realized there wasn't a quarterback in this draft who can help them in 2011, and they moved out of the spot that became the Gabbert pick. They clearly have concerns about their defensive line, and should get help in the pass rush from Kerrigan. Jenkins was an OK value, a bit of a surprise in Round 2, but the Hankerson selection at No. 79 was in the neighborhood of a steal. He gives them something they really don't have on the roster now. You have to assume Mike Shanahan thinks a lot of Helu, given the trade up to get him. The Skins added players at pretty much every need outside of quarterback, where they clearly have other ideas in mind. Fair enough. I just don't think impact will be significant. 

Overall Grade C+

Most Viciously Peeved (MVP): Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome must have been furious when the Ravens passed their first round pick because of a "misunderstanding" with the jabronies of the week.

Jabronies of the week:

Next time you try and work out a deal, how about you not try and sabotage our draft? IDIOTS.
