Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

There's nothing new to talk about until the 14th when the new schedule comes out.(Unless the Redskins sign a free agent) Anyway, I was looking at the Detroit Lions 1st 3 picks. They have #1, #20, and #33. If the Skins had those 3 picks who would draft ?
For me i'd say Jason Smith at #1 of course. We all know we need help at the OT position. The most likely good linebacker left from USC at #20 probably will be Clay Matthews. So i'd take him there. At #33 without question would be Alex Mack.After looking at this I can honestly say for the 1st time in my life i'm jealous of the Detroit Lions.

If your jealous of their draft just look at their roster. Problem solved.

Ummm, You said it better than I did actually. I'm jealous of their draft picks, not the F'ing team.

Updating the thread title and moving to the Draft Central forum. Let's make sure we put things in the right forums

re: Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

I would take Jason Smith and Beanie Wells probably. As the Redskins, not the Lions.

Just ask the poor fool; 'If your last one to leave, would you please turn off the lights".. Lions Thred! Plz get a life.

Oh, I see. Word.
Anyway, WaldSkins, I think you missed the point of this thread.
The idea is who would you want to draft if the Redskins had the Detroit Lions 1st three picks. They have #1, #20, and #33

Things are not good in Detroit. Ford, GM, the schools!..... The Odds of playing more than 2 seasons,... Just don't see us "the tax payers" paying for the mess. This team is in Mexico in 2011.

Jose double shot's.....

LOL!

I say they would be the Mexico Ron's!

re: Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

By the way, I realize the 33rd pick is not actually a first rounder but just go with it...

re: Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

Jason Smith, either Freeman or Rey, and Alex Mack..

re: Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

If I were the lions, I would draft Eugene Monroe because he can do it all, and Jason smith kinda isn't a definite sure first overall pick to me, since he has had a few torn MCLs and ACLs in college, and he didn't run block a lot in college..I wouldn't get a QB because Sam Bradford next year will be available and looks like the real deal at QB, whereas these guys are alittle sketchy and uncertain to me

re: Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

Detroit is terrible so they should pick players that can contribute immediately. Screw Stafford - he'll be a terrible first pick. Who's going to block for him? Plus he's probably not ready. Yeah he played in the SEC which is a tough conference but he wasn't very consistent. I'd build my core team with a guy like Monroe (probably a safer pick like Jake Long) or the kid from Baylor or draft Curry (who'll pair up great with Sims). From there I'd play it by year and take the best available because lets face it, Detroit sucks.

re: Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

Detroit will likely have a top five pick next year and will have a chance to pick either Bradford or McCoy.

re: Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

Nice idea for a thread...

1) BJ Raji
20) Rey or Oher if Rey is gone
33) Alex Mack or Matthews if Mack is gone or Unger if both Mack and Matthews are gone.

...make sense?

I never heard anything about Jason Smith having multiple torn ACLs and MCLs in college.

You wouldn't draft a QB just because Bradford will be available next year? The Lions address it now I think. How on earth do they know they'll have any chance at Bradford? To bank on a landing a player who won't even be draftable for another year is silly IMO.

If I was the Lions and couldn't get out of the 1st overall pick, I'd draft Sanchez at #1 (I think he's gonna be better than Stafford), the best O-lineman available at #20, then the best defender available at #33. Maybe Connor Barwin/James Laurinitis/Larry English.

Yeah but it isn't like the Lions are immediately desperate for a QB. All indications are big DC is working extremely hard this off-season and considers himself the starter...my guess is he'd beat out either top rookie this year. And there will be significantly more QB talent in next year's draft...not even comparable to this year really.

Right on. Build the core of the team and draft a QB, if at all possible, next year.
Detroit has the opportunity to draft quite a few players that can contribute this year. If they're lucky, maybe this year's draft class will help them win three more games which will likely put them in the top 5 or so next year.

re: Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

1. Matthew Stafford - QB - Georguh
1a. Eben Britton - OT - Arizona
2. Alex Mack - C - California
3. Lawrence Sidbury - DE - Richmond

I like Daunte, I'd love to see him come out and light it up. But I don't know. Banking on him would be a huge risk for a desperate team and fan base, and a rookie HC. Then again, the new FO guys may want to be more disciplined and take sure-fire prospects like Curry or Smith/Monroe.

I maintain that Sanchez will be a really good pro QB.

Worth taking @ 13 if he falls?

[quote=The Goat;544634]Worth taking @ 13 if he falls?[/quote]

Hahaha. I knew that question was coming. I almost put a disclaimer at the bottom of that post.

No. Not worth taking at 13 for the Skins. If he's there at 13 he'd definitely be the best PA, but we've got bigger needs.

I think Jason Campbell will be a really good pro QB this year.

re: Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

Sanchez as trade-bait...maybe the Lions will value him at 13 and trade-up to get him. (I doubt they take a QB w/ the first pick...hell I'd take J. Smith, Curry or Raji all before the top QBs). Still the draft is really so unpredictable so I won't be surprised no matter what happens.

If we've got a deal in place to move Sanchez, then sure, we could draft him. But in that case, why not just make the trade prior to the pick? I wouldn't draft him with nothing more than a hope that we can trade him.

that is a good point. If detroit passes on stafford and sanchez slips to us, they could throw some picks at us to get sanchez.

Since the thread was who should the skins draft if they had the lions first 3 picks not who should the lions draft

1. Jason Smith
20. Clay Matthews
33. Alex Mack

Do we still have 13 in this scearnio

No 13th pick.
FYI - We have the same exact picks.

Re: Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

After:

1. Jason Smith
20. Beanie Wells

I'd take Alex Mack at 33 if he was there, but if he isn't, I'd go defense, probably Clint Sintim.

This looks good to me. I might switch Mack to #20 and take the best LB available at #33 to be sure I got Mack, but I would be very happy with those 3. Beanie Wells at #20 would sure shake Portis up wouldn't it? :)

not really since it was portis who was trying to recruit Edge James to come here before he went to the Cards.

Well that's true but Edge is a couple of years older than Portis and they're friends. Him, Tana, and Edge are pretty tight and Edge is certainly no threat to Portis. No more than S. Alexander was. A young Beanie Wells with the skill set he possesses might not be so welcome. It's hard enough for Betts to get on the field without Portis having a fit.

Re: Who Should the Skins Draft If They Had the Lions' First Three Picks?
 

1. A.Curry olb
2.T.Jackson de if available , or best oline
3.best oline available - A.Mack ,P.Landot , D.Robinson

If you have the first pick ,you take the best player in the draft regardless of need. It's to much money wasted on a possible bust prospect that will cripple a team financially . Plus OLB is a need for us anyway ,just not as much as o and d line . We have a top defense with no turnovers and brought in Hanesworth to help that. Theres not another player that could have as much impact on are defense as Curry. Also there is some Oline depth and would be able to pick up one or two with the 20th and 33rd picks.
