Draft King Analysis
Perhaps I'm in the minority on this one, but I loved what the Redskins did in this draft. They took Taylor over Winslow, which I think was the right move. The Joe Gibbs offense needs a tight end that can and will concentrate on blocking, not start whining about not having enough balls thrown his way (which I suspect might have happened with Winslow). Moreover, Taylor is a simply amazing athlete, and you add him to a secondary with the likes of Shawn Springs and Fred Smoot... and I like it.
Washington made a trade to get Cooley in Round 3, which is good in that Cooley is the type of blocking tight end who is physical (he's a former defensive lineman) but he can also catch the ball (only without the me-first ego). Wilson and Molinaro provide the team some flexibility in case the conflict between Joe Gibbs and OT Chris Samuels continues to be an issue this off-season.
