2. If we were drafting 15th instead of 5th (ish) I would very seriously want us to consider Jahvid Best or even Spiller. At 5 I would agree that it's not really beneficial to us
[3.] I don't think I would classify Bradford (or Clausen or Snead or Skelton) as "projects" I mean I don't expect him to tear up the league right away but I could see him starting for us by mid-2010. He won't sit on the bench for three years or anything like that.

1. The redskins evidently felt the same way about Laron Landry. How's tha t working out for us? He's a baller, but we've not had the best luck drafting defensive backs in the top 10. Laron Landry - picked way to high (in retrospect). Carlos Rogers - picked way to high (in retrospect). Sean Taylor - started right away but itook almost 3 years for him to really start to grasp the NFL game. Thats far too long for a top 10 pick in my opinion. i'm not sure if its just our bad luck, but "stud" college DBs picked high do not seem to generate immediate returns - which should be a "given" when youre picking that high in the draft. Couple that with the fact that FS isn't even one of our top 10 team needs, and you'd have a hard time justifying picking any DB that high.
3. I'm sure they'd all be forced to start and then have matt stratford-esque seasons. No thanks. Give me Leinhart any day of the week instead. He'd come cheaper, be more experiened, and have every bit of upside that Bradford, Claussen, etc. have.
