The Redskins have agreed to terms on a rookie contract with second-round selection Malcolm Kelly, the 51st overall selection in the 2008 NFL Draft. The wide receiver is the seventh and--so far--the highest of the Redskins' 10 draft picks to sign or agree to terms.

Kelly was the second WR selected by the Redskins in the second Round. WR Devin Thomas was selected earlier in the same round. While neither one will probably have much fantasy impact in most leagues, dynasty owners should keep an eye out on these two. With training camp a week away Kelly may get a small leg up on Thomas if Thomas doesn't gets signed later this week. Kelly could see more camp reps if Thomas lingers unsigned.


I am wondering what dynasty owners think about these two as the season nears.

I am higher on Kelly than I am on Thomas. To me Thomas was a one year wonder and if he has an extended hold out, I am really not going to drop picks on him.

Kelly has hands and body control you can't teach. I would much prefer him over Thomas in dynasty leagues, who had one productive year and cashed in. I'm leery of those types of players.

My only concern with any young receiver - and more so with Kelly - is their maturity level. Will he take the job seriously or be another Dwayne Jarret?

I have both of them so I'm OK

Id venture a late, late (14th or onward) round pick on Kelly is going to be worth it in redraft leagues. Someone has to play opposite of Santana Moss.
