To date, no ransom demands have been made and his captors are unknown.Police were alerted to the possible kidnapping at approximately 11:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 26, about 25 minutes after the Redskins drafted cornerback Kevin Barnes out of the University of Maryland with their third-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft."Our suspicions were aroused last night when we got the go ahead in our war room to not worry about trading up to draft Marc Sanchez and we were then instructed to draft Brian Orakpo out of Texas, which made complete and total sense, and was reacted to with great joy by our fans," said Redskins head coach Jim Zorn.

Last year I was able to convince myself that we had a decent draft, despite the fact that we drafted a bunch of crappy offensive players with our first several picks.

The Broncos 12th Pick
The Broncos surprised a lot of people by not trading up. They surprised even more people when they selected running back, Knowshon Moreno (Georgia) instead of a defensive player such as Brian Orakpo (Texas). I would’ve loved to see them pick Orakpo instead. In the off season, Josh McDaniels brought in J.J. Arrington, LaMont Jordan, and Correll Buckhalter. Not to mention they...
