Re-grading the Washington Redskins 2010 NFL Draft class
Round 3
Guess what? The Redskins didn’t have a pick in the third round either. The pick was used in the supplemental draft in the summer of 2009.
In all fairness, the previous regime of head coach Jim Zorn and general manager Vinny Cerrato made the decision to add Kentucky defensive end Jeremy Jarmon. In essence, that was the 2010 third-round pick.
After two seasons with twelve total tackles and a half of a sack, Jarmon was traded to the Broncos for wide receiver Jabar Gaffney. Gaffney had a decent 2011 with the Redskins in his final full season as a player (he played three games for the Dolphins in 2012 and retired).

Jarmon didn’t make the 53-man roster in Denver and was out of the NFL at age 24. Jarmon was a complete and total bust, but at least the Redskins did get one good season out of Gaffney.
Investing in a third-round player should produce an athlete who is talented and will provide the organization with production for several years – perhaps a decade or more. There is only one way to grade Round 3.
