Draft Strategy after the first round
 

Let's talk about what we think will happen for the Redskins after the first round. Who do you think the skins will go after or hope they go after? I feel that we will have to address the o-line in the draft. This cap punishment by the NFL has screwed us. We have had to change our strategy we may have to find a way to acquire more picks. What's your opinion?

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

I'd like to give up our 3rd and 4th to move up into the 2nd to take a starting interior lineman.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

We need another S, CB, OL, RB, ILB

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

Why is RB a need?

Secondary definitely needs some help.

Watch out, you might kicked in the nuts by NC like I suggested the same in another post. Except that I would target a S as a bigger need instead of OL.

I was thinking we should pull a trade like this but I think the cap penalty we have us to resort to picking up more quantity over quality.

Yeah I question the RB need too.

Could we swing a pre draft trade for an early second, use it as trade bait for a later round second and third? I really like the idea of accumulating picks still.

Hightower is not signed, is returning from major injury and there are many very good RB's.

[quote=diehardskin2982;899848]I was thinking we should pull a trade like this but I think the cap penalty we have us to resort to picking up more quantity or quality.[/quote]

We had 12 draft picks last year. We need quality starters, not more backups.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

i'd take 2 or 3 offensive lineman, and 2 or 3 defensive backs, maybe a linebacker

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

Hightower shouldn't be difficult to re-sign if we want him.

Helu and Royster outplayed him anyway.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

Our needs are CB, FS, RT, G depth, ILB depth, Slot WR, 3 string RB, Backup QB

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

im hoping we can get either a starting safety or RT before the draft and then like move up in the second like Aristocrat said for a starter in the other spot.

I see a lot of trading around by BA, wouldnt surprise me if we get more picks. Biggest needs I see are Safety and OLine depth, I hope we can find a diamond in the rough at S.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

Mark my words, a RB will be drafted by the Redskins in 2012. Weather or not we need one is irrelevant.

Very true, theres always a position or 2 that we draft even though we're filled up with them on our roster.

TE, SS, OLB in years past.

Any position is up for grabs in this years draft. I know BA said he drafts BPA and not position of need.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

BPA from round 3 until UDFA

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

If somehow we could package our third and one of our fourths to get him, I would move into the second to take OT Mike Adams. He could start quickly at RT.

Barring that unlikely scenario, I'd take:
3rd Bobby Massie OT Ole Miss - has Shanny speed and athleticism
4th Brandon Taylor SS LSU - a little undersized but has good speed
4th Audie Cole ILB NC State - good size, instincts, and athleticism
5th Danny Coale WR VA Tech - speedy, capable, and can add to our stable of Tech wideouts now that Royal has spurned us

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

If we go after a running back I hope it's LaMichael James. 4.3 speed, soft hands and is a threat to score anytime he touches the ball.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

Pick players who have the best chance of sticking, regardless of position.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

Easy strategy. Pick the best man available unless he's a D-lineman or OLB...and I'd even take an OLB if the gap between him and the next guy is big enough. Don't trade up, we need more players, don't trade down, our quality of picks is piss poor enough.

Chris Rainey RB/WR/KR/PR/Kick Blocker

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

^ I was high on chris rainey until i heard him interview at the senior bowl. He is a cocky lil chit whos attitude will draw unwanted attention in our locker room and though the media. No thanks.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

I think we do have a need at saftey but this class is very weak especially considering from the 3rd round on down. While next years saftey class is supposed to be one of the strongest in years, id rather try and get by this year and draft a strong safety in the 2nd next year. On the flip side this years CB and IOL are rather deep. I would prefere us doing something like this:
3. Casey Hayward CB/ Josh Norman CB
4. Phillip Blake C
4. Audie Cole ILB
5. Tauren Poole RB/ Bobby Rainey RB
6. Chase Ford TE
7. Adam Gettis G

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

We only need ONE MAN after the first round. And that man is, *cut to character saying own name* Captain Insaneo

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

I'd be fine with Captain Insaneo in the 3rd-4th.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;899890]Chris Rainey RB/WR/KR/PR/Kick Blocker[/quote]Offensively, I would say the biggest need is guys who can make people miss, and then a close second is guys who can run block a little.

Biggest overall team need at this point is safeties who can cover better than I can.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

Best player available at S, CB, OL, ILB. I think most of us will be on the same page on this one. Hope the FO is too. We got RGIII we already won this year's draft in my opinion. Won't be missing ANY Skins games this year.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;899872]BPA from round 3 until UDFA[/quote]

My hope is that we'll get enough done in FA to do what you say.

I'd like to see the Skins take a chance on a versatile player who could become game breaker, such as LaMichael James, Brandon Boykin, or Chris Rainey.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

[quote=BigHairedAristocrat;899857]We had 12 draft picks last year. We need quality starters, not more backups.[/quote]

Those 12 picks were all rookies. Some guys turn into starters over time. 5 were starter worthy last year and more could turn out to be starters.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

I am not sure they will resign hightower. With Helu and Royster playing as well as they did, they could bring in a lower round pick in the draft. As far as what they do, FA is going to be key with no 1st or 2nd as to what we do draft wise. I am sure they are looking to get Oline help from FA, then possibly add more picks in the 3rd and 4th to look for some Oline depth and maybe safety or corners in those rounds. Use the latter rounds to look for the Oline depth.

We really dont need to draft for Dline, LB's, RB's, WR, or TE.

[quote=diehardskin2982;899848]I was thinking we should pull a trade like this but I think the cap penalty we have us to resort to picking up more quantity over quality.[/quote]

I seriously doubt that the cap penalty would change the dynamic of taking 1 2nd round player vs 2 or 3 lower round players. The difference in combined cap hits would be minimal.

[quote=44Deezel;899946]Those 12 picks were all rookies. Some guys turn into starters over time. 5 were starter worthy last year and more could turn out to be starters.[/quote]

exactly right.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

3. BPA at CB or Tackle
4. BPA with what was not taken above or Safety
4. BPA G/C or Kurt Cousins
5. Chris Rainey
6. Nate Potter
7 BPA at TE, DL or ILB

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

3. Brandon Mosely, OT, Auburn
4. TY Hiltion, WR/RS, Florida International
4. Janeze Jackson, FS, McNesse State
5. Audie Cole, ILB, NC State
6. Keith Tandy, CB, WVU
7. Kelvin Beachum, OG, Southern Methodist

In having 2 4th rd picks we could jump back up into the 3rd and take an OG, ILB... This year's S class is pretty mediocre and underwhelming... Don't think we'd draft a RB... The WR class is deep, as is CB, and ILB.

I have said the same thing about Rainey for awhile. His interview not only at the senior bowl, but on SiriusXM NFL radio was terrible. He is a thug. He probably keeps a piece in his jock during the games. And I don't mean the one he was born with... Stay away.

Plus he was charged with stalking not long ago. I don't care how fast he is, he is an idiot.

Re: Draft Strategy after the first round
 

Although the percieved quality of safeties availiable in the draft this year is weak, there's still a quantity of these guys who can play and will develop.
