Talk Stink

The NFL Washington Redskins have used their mid-sixth round pick (#186 overall) to select former UH quarterback Colt Brennan.

It seemed Brennan’s surgery could have dropped him from GM’s draft boards, but recent in interviews he has addressed critics with a positive mindset. The familiar criticisms are highlighted in the ESPN draft summary.

However, there are substantial concerns about the Hawaii spread scheme inflating his numbers and he doesn’t have great arm strength, either. His recent hip surgery raises concerns about Brennan’s ability to stay healthy.

It is worth noting that Washington had three sixth round picks and used the first of the three to select:

Georgia Tech’s Durant Brooks, a punter (#168 overall).

Assuming Brennan makes the cut he’d serve as a developmental third string quarterback behind Jason Campbell and Todd Collins.

Oddly, the Redskins.com headline mentions Brennan in its headline, but not the story itself.

Update: Davone Bess is headed to the Miami Dolphins and, according to SB’s Dave Reardon, was told that slot and punt return jobs are open. Between the two Bess might have the best shot at seeing playing time next season. Also, Ryan Grice-Mullins is a Texan via free agency.
