Landon Collins

What really pisses me off about the whole thing is we could have drafted the guy. We had a need and he fit great. Fans wanted him, media was picking him in mocks. Everything seemed to align. Then big sweaty takes a receiver. I’m sure he would have been resigned and not hit the market. Sucks.

Now I'm pissed off all over again. Lol

If you’re looking for some real fun, revisit the thread from when Dorsett got drafted (I for the record was saying that I hoped Dorsett’s arrival would get Cribbs off the team not Josh Gordon like I said there):

Haha nobody liked that pick... funny reading our own comments.

I seriously wonder wtf Grigson was thinking there? He could have addressed a lot of needs and had the options. Phillip effing Dorsett. Lmao!

Ehh I actually tried defending him. Cringe. I liked Dorsett, just not as a number 1 pick, I did want Collins. I liked him as a second rounder. Was really wrong on him, why I put more emphasis on route running now.

I watched Dorsett play in the Miami FSU game and he was amazing. Funny thing is, I think the pats really would have taken him in round 1 that year.

I just read that the Redskins did not bother consulting HC Jay Gruden before signing Collins to that deal. That he heard about it on TV. What a POS organization.

Wow! Hotseat? That deal was crazy.

Yeah... do you think Grigson caught wind of that possibility and took him thinking he got a player and screwed the Pat's at the same time? Only to screw the Colts.

I think he knew. I think it might have been a bigger factor than it should have been. He really did not like the pats and I think he was the driving factor behind deflate gate. Not that I blame him, every one knows they cheat. But it shouldn’t influence our draft picks. Defense was a much bigger need. If they needed less pressure on Hilton, they should have worked on Moncrief’s game more.
