With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...
 

Dante Fowler Jr


Thats my feeling, what's yours? Who do you want and who do you think we select?

I think Randy Gregory, Beasely and Fowler are my favorites...Shelton, Cooper and Mariota are under strong consideration by the organization. I trust Scott, should be interesting.

I say Fowler, Beasley, even Williams, whoever falls on their lap after the other teams pick ahead.

Re: With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...
 

Williams, Beasley, Fowler... in that order.

does randy gregory seriously weigh less than 240?

Re: With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...
 

since lawrence taylor, has such a slender [under 240] pass rusher recorded double digit sacks?

von miller is the closest i could think of but he's 250, i believe. von miller's combine profile says he was 246 at the time.

Amari Cooper, Leonard Williams, Dante Fowler Jr.

Re: With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...
 

If Williams is gone then Cooper, but I really believe in Murphy

Re: With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...
 

Trade down.

If that is not an option for this thread, then I say Fowler. He has the size that McC covets.

Re: With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...
 

Williams, Cooper, Fowler - in that order.

I expect the two QB's to be gone along with Williams. Oakland may pick Knight rather than Cooper but my gut says the pick Williams or Cooper with Jax taking the other.

At that point, it becomes a question of Fowler v. Beasley. Between the two, I really do not know who is likely to be the better pro, and I am not certain which way Scot McC is leaning. To me, it all depends on who Scot McC thinks is the better "football" guy.

I [B][I][U]DO NOT [/U][/I][/B]want Gregory or Knight. As I have said in other places, I would rather risk they become HOF'ers for someone else than have either become Justin Blackmon for us. (My concern for Knight is more that he is a one-year wonder against less than stellar competition - I have not heard any concerns about his character).

I really dont think the weed stuff affects Gregory stock with McC...thats my gut feeling. Randy Gregory is high on our draft board...Gruden is a bigggg fan

i like gregory but not #5 overall. but i don't feel extremely strong about that, he may be worth it. i certainly don't know

Re: With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...
 

In a strange way I'm rooting for them to take Mariota, if only because it means Scot McCloughan likes him. And given how much he liked Russell Wilson, I'd see it as a very good sign if McC thought highly enough of Mariota. I'm not sure if that is circular logic but it basically shows my faith in McCloughan.

All that said, I think Fowler is the pick.

let's get a poll going in here.

with "trade down" being a choice

I am hoping for a trade down since there seems to be some good pass rushers later in the draft. Now, if Leonard Williams is there at 5, which I dont personally think is possible, then you take him barring an absolutely crazy trade offer.

As for our pick if we stay at 5, Im hoping for either Beasley or Fowler. Imo, Beasley will be the better pass rusher, Fowler will be the better overall OLB. I understand the logic of a WR with that pick, but im still hoping for help with the pass rush with the number 5 since a WR being dominant requires getting him the ball. And unless we improve across the OL and QB, the best WR isnt going to help us much, where as a dominant defense can.

What if Mariota is there at 5 and Mclovin doesn't pick him, people will swear DS made him pass on him. We can't win with the media.
