Jarmon will be a project for this year and probably will see most of his playing time on special teams. He is only 21 years old so he is still a little raw and reportedly needs to get significantly stronger in order to hold up against NFL pros. The good news is that he will spend all year with Phillip Daniels and Renaldo Wynn who are consummate professionals and should be excellent mentors for him.
This was a good move for the Redskins. The team could not make it through a full season with only Phillip Daniels and Renaldo Wynn. Both players are past their prime and Daniels missed all of last season due to injury. Selecting a young defensive end with good long-term potential is a better option than signing an older veteran stop gap for one year or during midseason. Vinny Cerato believes Jarmon was projected to be a second round pick in 2010, which of course means he would have actually been a third round pick. Nevertheless, several teams had placed fourth round claims on Jarmon in the supplemental draft so he was a wanted player. Had the Redskins not used their third round pick on him, they would have lost him to another team in the fourth round.
