Maybe I'm just delusional with excitement over Portis, but I think this is an incredible deal for the Skins.. They are getting someone who will be a top 5-10 back for the next 5-8 years (barring injury of course).. Granted they are giving up one of the top 3 CB in the league, but who impacts the game more every Sunday? The RB gets 20-25 touches a game, a CB is involved in 7-8 plays on a busy day.. It's going to be hard for someone to convince me that a secondary of Bailey, Smoot, Ohalete and Bowen is better than Smoot, Springs or Winfield, Ohalete and Sean Taylor (who they'll draft at 5). Remember the impact Roy Williams of the (ugh) Cowboys had his first year, we should, he scored 2 TD on us! I would like for us to still have the 2nd round pick, but if that's what it takes then that's what it takes. We didn't play anyone with elite receivers in the division anyway so it's not like we need a shutdown corner 8 games a year. If we were in the Rams division, then it'd be more of a premium.. Cowboys-ball control, Eagles-west coast ball control, Giants-ball control under Coughlin.. A couple Snyder special signings and we should be good to go!
