2014 draft prospects Early edition

[skinsfan69]

Manziel is just too risky to take number one. I keep the guys they have at QB and take Clowney.

I've heard a few times now that the Skins might be looking to trade back into the 1st Round. link

But I haven't heard who those coveted targets are that they think could be taken in the 30-32 range. Have any of you heard?

I do like the thought process that if you feel strongly about a prospect to lock them into the 5 year first round rookie contract as opposed to the 4 year rookie contract.

Makes sense and the price to move up isn't significant.

My guess would be if CJ Mosely or Justin Gilbert fell. I guess the shocker pick would be for TE Eric Ebron.

CJ Mosely would make this defense a number one defense. We could then go secondary and d-line in free agency. Bring back Rak, Tapp , and Jackson. Don't forget Kerrigan and Jenkins.

I want Stephon Tuitt to be our pick. I think he'll be there at #34 but we may need to prepare to move up to get him.

No, they need a QB, but I agree, Manziel is no #1 pick. You only take a QB #1 (or #2 like we did) if he's a sure thing.

The media's hyping Russell Wilson and his weekly 150-yard performances as proof a shorter QB can succeed, so now a wave of short QBs are going to take over the league. Sure.

Bridgewater would be my choice if I were Houston. Clowney would be an easy pick to make and likely won't backfire but they aren't going anywhere without a QB. Having the #1 pick doesn't come around often, not even for Oakland and Cleveland, so they need to make it a franchise-changer. A QB is the best way to accomplish that. A defensive player, while valuable, usually doesn't "save" a team the way a franchise QB can.
