I don't know anything about the guy - is he worth taking a shot on with the Redskins?

Not this year...maybe next. So if you're in a dynasty league, you could take a shot on him.I was deciding between him and Johnny Knox...and chose Knox.

I think he's worth a flyer in a dynasty. Was drafted by a 4-3 team, has good size, speed, and athletcism.

Rookie linemen often need at least a year to develop. Jarmon has a projectable skill set and opportunity, though, so he's at least as good of a development pick as guys like Lawrence Sidbury and Connor Barwin. If you've got a deep roster and no other position in which to use the slot, it's not unreasonable. I wouldn't expect much until 2010, however.

He's worth a spot on a taxi squad in 2009. He figures to play LDE starting next year, with Orakpo ultimately going to RDE once Carter goes.

If you have enough room. In most leagues d linemen are guys I put last on taxi squads. I'll wait and try and pick him up after this season.

Really? DT's and CB's are the last guys for me. DE's that can make plays are worth a lot so I tend to have at least one flier every year on my taxi squads.

I only play in one DT/CB required league. Most leagues I see don't require them.

I agree with this. DE is right there with LB in the leagues I go with because of the move to 3-4 for alot of teams. A guy like Jared Allen. Mario Williams etc is worth weight in gold. In my 16 team league where we can do a 4-4-3 with 3 DE, they are nice to have. I might take a flyer but not sure which one I like the best between Barwin. Sidbury and Jarmon. In a year from now in certain leagues, they could be valuable like Derrick Harvey will be this year

Zorn on Jarmon: 'He's Studying the Weight Room'

Speaking for the first time about the Redskins' supplemental draft pick, Coach Jim Zorn said he'd be surprised if rookie defensive end Jeremy Jarmon has a big impact this season, but it'd be a surprise he'd welcome.

While the Redskins have steered clear of calling Jarmon a "project," it seems clear that he was drafted with 2010 in mind.

"I want to be surprised if he has impact this year," says Zorn. "I'm looking at him as a guy we got a year early, so we can develop and be that much further ahead. When the NFL Draft comes around next year, he'll already have a year under his belt. He won't be preparing for his first camp."

Jarmon, a 6-foot-3, 277-pound defensive end, was selected in the third round of the supplemental draft July 16. Since then, he's been a regular fixture at Redskins Park, but Zorn says Jarmon hasn't been studying a playbook yet.

"What he's been studying is the weight room and the field," Zorn said.

Last week, Zorn said Jarmon was given the team's "preliminary test to see what kind of shape he's in" - a test most players underwent in June - and he says Jarmon passed.

Making the safe assumption that both Jarmon and the team's first-round pick, defensive end Brian Orakpo, sign contracts soon, the Redskins will need to free up at least one more roster spot.

Zorn says he's excited to see how Jarmon fits in with his crew of defensive linemen. When players aren't NFL-ready in the traditional sense, it helps to have a veteran nearby to take the supplemental selection under his wing. A great example is Jared Gaither, the Ravens' 2007 supplemental pick who had a full year to learn under Jonathan Ogden before assuming a starting spot on the Ravens' offensive line in his second season, helping stabilize the line and lead the team to the AFC title game.

"We've got a lot of depth in our defensive line already," Zorn says. "But when you look at the future, we've got to address our defensive line in some areas. I mean, Phillip Daniels -- he's had a long career, he's still going strong and I don't know when he'll want to shut it down. But at some point he will. So Phillip, who's a tremendous leader and who will have a tremendous season this year, can influence this young guy before the beginning of his natural professional career. That's invaluable. And I think Jeremy Jarmon is the kind of guy who will take wisdom nuggets from our veteran defensive line."

Zorn also praised owner Daniel Snyder for his willingness to part with next year's third-round pick and make Jarmon the first supplemental pick in franchise history. Jarmon was ruled ineligible for his senior season at Kentucky after failing a drug test in February. Jarmon says a dietary supplemental triggered the positive test. Zorn has met with Jarmon several times by now and says he has no concerns about his character.

"There might still be some question marks because he didn't go through all the poking and probing of the combine -- he didn't have that lengthy examination that others had - but we're really excited about what we have here," Zorn says. "That's what really has been wonderful about Dan Snyder. He really has been willing to step up and say, 'Yeah, I'll do this.' Other teams might be willing to do the same thing, but we were just willing to risk a little bit more and we got him. If we risked less, we wouldn't have him right now."

"The plate's clean with him. There's no paint on the canvas. So we're all eager to see what he can do and what he brings to the table."
