Skins officially pick Rocky McIntosh

[RedskinPete]

Wow I hope he was worth three picks! Now what the trade was was giving each other 2nd rounders this year. What the Jets got was our 07 2nd rounder and this years 6th rounder[189]. Not a real big cost but I just hate to give up that second rounder in 07!!! If he turns out to be a starter and the LB that Arrington was not we hit pay dirt. But if he is a so so player not good at all!!!

I think he will be a starter, my own fear is that Rocky's weaknesses are similar to LaVar's.

You maybe right!!! What is really troublesome is the way we have mortgage the 07 draft with our 2nd and 4th goen!!!!! This kind of doing things has to come to a end soon!!! So 07 we have a 1st,3rd,5th,6th and 7th! Free agents next season can't really be a way to get players becaues of the money short fall! So I have to say it. We need to hit a home run on a late round pick on Sunday with the 5th,6th[2] and 7th[2]!!!!!! When will the madness end????

Maybe next years 1st round pick(32 overall) We will package with the rest and move up to the #1 over and pick QB Quinn from ND or what ever his name is..

Kiper said that he has great LB instincts. Sorry Arrington did not.

Outside Linebacker | Senior | Miami (FL) Roger McIntosh
Height: 6-2 1/8 | Weight: 237 | 40-Time: 4.61

Official Bio

Strengths:
Outstanding athletic ability...Has great speed and quickness with a burst to close...Can make plays sideline-to-sideline due to his range...Playmaker who is always around the action...Good tackler...Has a knack for making stops behind the line of scrimmage...Versatile...A leader on and off the field...Hard worker who is smart and mature...Has some upside if he can stay healthy and on the field.

Weaknesses:
Inconsistent and doesn't always play up to his talent...Takes bad angles...Is only average in coverage...Needs to get stronger...Relies heavily on his athleticism to recover from mistakes...Can be too aggressive at times...Has dealt with knee, shoulder and back injuries...Does not really have a ton of starting experience.

Notes:
Could project to either outside or inside linebacker at the pro level...The recent success of other Miami linebackers such as Jonathan Vilma and D.J. Williams in the NFL sure won't hurt his cause...Seemingly has all the physical tools you look for.
