What to do with #53 overall
 

I am a bit of a dumbass so correct me if I am wrong. I believe that we will take a CB, but I just don't know who.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

i say inside or outside linebacker. we need a starter there. I think i'm not the only person who thinks warrick holdman shouldn't be a starter. I'm willing to give him a second chance though, to prove that last season was a fluke, If it wasn't, then we seriously need to cut him.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

I say inside because of this: any LB we have can play outside, but only lemar can play inside, so we need depth there.

If Holdman isn't a starter then Clemmons is. Remember Antonio Pierce. These LB's arent being kept around for nothing. One of them will emerge as the starter. Our defense did just fine with Holdman starting. I believe that depth at corner is more important than a possible backup at LB.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

i think it depends on who's available. If there's an outside linebacker available, like rocky macintosh, then i'd think the redskins take him because he's suited to be an olb. If there's an inside backer available like abdul hodge or d'qwell jackson, then the skins should take them because we can just move lemar back to the outside.

@angryssg: i realize what g.w. did with a.p. and lemar marshall. Both of them were considered backups before he came along. Now they are damn good starters. That's why i'd rather see Clemons as starter than Holdman. Holdman had a shot at being a good starter last year, but he wasn't. Clemons on the other hand, is unproven. It's his third season in the league, third under G.W. as well, and i think we should give him a chance, if we don't take a linebacker in the draft. And i do remember several plays that Holdman was responsible for last year. The one that comes to mind was Tatum Bell's first td run in our game against the broncs.

I doubt very seriously that any of those LB's will be available during that part of the draft. Particularly D'Quell. Those guys are going to go in the late first early second. We pick late second.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

you know, your probably right on that one, i too expect them to be late 1st, early 2nd rounders. But they aren't the only ones available. This draft is linebacker heavy, i don't think we'd have a lot of trouble picking a good one off the board.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

Corner.

Another person with so me credible information has joined the discussion.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

Am I crazy to think that this whole shake-up at the top might end up helping us? It seems like everyone was planning with Bush going as the obvious #1 up until very recently. Now some teams might be scrambling because they have more options. In my opinion, the Saints had a couple ways they could go before. I'm not expecting any miracles, but I think this could cause a player of greater quality to drop to us than before. I still don't have any idea what player that may be, or what position they'd play though.

It could and it counldn't. Remember that teams have their own views and values for certain players. So it may not have much effect on us because Bush will still go in the top five. Everyone else according to draft boards will follow. It would take several suprises to actually effect us late int the second round.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

There are some mock drafts got us picking Leonard Pope... now even with our pickup of a te i dont think this is a bad pick. Then teams would have to fear our long ball and our short ball, plus the run.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

Pope won't make it to 53, but TE could be a very interesting way to spend the pick. Check my updated 3 round mock for my best guess at how things will unfold.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

TE is not an option with Cooley and Fauria. One blocks and one catches.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

yeah, i dunno why people think we need a tight end. Are they saying Cooley isn't good enough?

marcus washington can play inside. If we take an ILB, it'll only be one that can play OLB as well. We can get a starter and we should get a starter. No ILB i going to learn all the calls for the defense and gain enough experience to be trusted there in a couple preseason games.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

I don't want M.W. playing inside. I think he has a huge impact on the outside.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

Obviously they dont. Its hard to remember a TE that gets over 700 receiving yards apparently.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

They will draft a Hybrid Safety/Corner.

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

i say take best available player (unless it is a qb or wr)

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

Corner.
Skins will not draft QB, WR, TE, HB, S, KR, PR or DE.
I anticipate a corner pick and depth picks at DL, OL and LB's. Possibly a kicker in day 2.
Until draft moment all the talk is pure bs.
TE? no way we'll draft a TE Mel Kiper JR!

linebacker and some offensive line depth

Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

Less than 60 minutes to the start of the '06 draft, should be a long afternoon for us Skins fans.

Anyway, discuss the day right here.

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

cant wait for the draft, even if we dont have a first rounder...i like the atmosphere on draft day. reminds me of football...

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

#2, barring a trade for 3-4 1st and 2nd round picks, saints will take bush.
titans - young
jets - D'Br F
GB - hawk/davis
49ers - davis/hawk

then it gets foggy... do the raiders take leinhart or michael huff? if young was here it'd be obvious who'd they take.

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

Guys, I'm going way out on a limb here. I'm actually gonna say Mario Williams will be the first selection.

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

Here We Go, Baby!

If I were the Jets I'd offer the Saints a 3rd round choice for Duece and then take Da Brick.

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

This is exciting...hope to see some crazy trades...and it looks like Skins will be seeing Bush at some point this year (he will obviously be getting stuck by our D).

Re: What to do with #53 overall
 

Offensive Guard.

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

Shit! We're going to have to listen to Micheal Irvin's loud mouth all afternoon.

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

Did Williams ever get a sack against a team other than the Terps? Not according to these highlights.

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

say hello to next year's number one pick houston

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

Saints should take D'Brick'.

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

Does anyone thing that the Jets fans might boo thier draftchoice?

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

titans took young. better than picking leinhart...not sold on leinhart at all. i want to see him play when he is under pressure without a dream team around him...and by under pressure i mean pass rush

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

#3 is too high for Young. Tenn. screwed up (just an opinion)

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

NYJ will take Lienart.

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

leinhart will be a bust.

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

Does anyone else think that Volek deserves a chance to be the starter in Tenn?
He lights it up everytime he is in the game!

Re: Official 2006 NFL Draft Thread
 

leinhart? when they already have P-Ram? your crazy!
