Redskins use third rounder to take Jarmon

According to the Washington Times, the Washington Redskins have used a third-round pick to take former Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon in the supplemental draft today.

Jarmon was the only player selected.

That leaves the Redskins with five picks currently for the 2010 NFL Draft.

"We feel good that he can come in with no pressure, learn and he runs well enough to play special teams," Redskins front office boss Vinny Cerrato said on ESPN 980. "He can learn from Philip [Daniels] and Renaldo [Wynn] and get ready to play later on in the season or in the future."

Adam Schefter, soon to be of ESPN, reports that the Lions were going to take Jarmon at the beginning of the fourth round.

Thoughts: This is moderately surprising considering Washington just took Brian Orakpo in the first round of this year's draft. While Jarmon is a pretty solid defensive lineman, I don't think he was worth more than a fourth-round pick. The other two teams mainly looking at Jarmon were Detroit and Philadelphia.

It's wouldn't be surprising if Jarmon had a minimal impact this year considering he is getting such a late start
in the process.

only 5

the bad part is that the bears don’t have a 1st round pick next year and if they go trade happy again, they will probably not have a 1st round pick 3 years in a row

Im saying

the Redskins ALWAYS only seem to have 5 picks. They have their 1st rounder then they never pick till the 4th round.

Don’t they know the backbones of most teams are built on their 2nd and 3rd rounders? Obviously not and its the reason they are the doormat of the Beast.

How quickly can the rest of those guys sign with teams?

I’m wondering where Dixon ends up, surely he’ll get at least a try out right?

I've won the same lifetime achievement award twice....yes I'm the Most Interesting Man in the World

Immediately. All these guys will get a tryout somewhere. Well, except maybe for that wide receiver from Florida State. He has a lot of character issues.
