*Devin Thomas |
WR |
Michigan State |
(From Falcons who acquired pick and 5th-round pick in 2009 draft from Raiders for CB DeAngelo Hall, March 21, 2008.) |
Draft Scout Says: Once Jim Zorn was hired as the new head coach of the Washington Redskins, it was clear that the club would be adding taller receivers soon. The Redskins probably couldn't have anticipated that Devin Thomas would fall to this point, but in trading down, W ashington played the board beautifully.

Fred Davis |
TE |
Southern Cal |
(From Falcons who acquired pick and 1st- and 2nd-round picks in 2007 draft from Texans for QB Matt Schaub and 1st-round pick in 2007 draft, March 22, 2007.) |
Draft Scout Says: Chris Cooley doesn't have to look over his shoulder with the selection of Fred Davis, but for Jim Zorn's offense to work effectively, more traditional tight ends were needed. Davis, the Mackey Award winner, has the athleticism to move around, while also holding up at the point of attack as a run blocker.

*Malcolm Kelly |
WR |
Oklahoma |
|
Draft Scout Says: If there was any doubt as to how serious the Redskins were in adding size and athleticism to their receiving corps, the questions were answered throughout the second round. Kelly's stock dropped after poor Pro Day workouts and due to concerns about a lin gering knee injury. At this point in the draft, however, Kelly was excellent value for the Redskins.

Chad Rinehart |
OG |
Northern Iowa |
(Compensatory) |
Draft Scout Says: One of the top "small school" prospects in the entire draft, the Redskins got a versatile talent in the late third round in Chad Rinehart. A collegiate left tackle, Rinehart is being projected inside by many after a solid performance inside at the Senior Bowl.
