We need to be thinking about drafting Polunsky.

I say we draft Pat Willis way ahead of Posluszny. Each could be good, but Pat Willis is a MLB and Posluszny is an OLB, and the transition is not easy which has been mentioned in this thread. I got a feeling that Pat Willis is gonna be a beast. I would be so happy to see the skins trade down and get Pat Willis while picking up other pick(s) also.

We need to draft D-line, D-line and D-line.

ok to say the skins should draft a lb with the 6th overall pick is just syupid we should be focused on the d line with eirther alan branch or gaines adams i would be happy with either but both those LB'S are a serious reach at number 6. while alan branch may be the safer pick gaines adams is the sexier pick and would provide and excellent pass rush of the edge he is a jason taylor clone and that would lead to more picks from nate clements who is one of the top 7 or 8 corners in the nfl

What would be nice is if someone like Adrian Peterson, Calvin Johnson or even Brady Quinn Drops and the teams between 7-13 covet one of those guys and they trade up with us to get one of them. In this senario we add additional picks and we still could get lucky and get A. Branch, but if he isn't there we could look at Amobi Okoye, I really think this kids is going to be a superstar.

He Will Be But Branch Or Adams Is Just A Better Fit To The Skins And He Is No Offense To Him

Yes, Thomas can play MLB.

He's a very versatile player that will attact alot of attention in free agency.

[MTK]

The problem is Thomas is going to command alot more money than Fletcher.

Thomas is in his prime and will be looking for a payday, Fletcher while still very productive is past his prime and will come cheaper.

Perhaps the most important part of the equation is Fletcher knows this defense having played for Williams in Buffalo.

[MTK]

Unless you have a crystal ball there was nothing to indicate that Barrow was going to get hurt the way he did. He was an absolute rock prior to coming here.

Injuries happen, it was shit luck with Barrow. That doesn't mean the same thing is going to happen with Fletcher.

[MTK]

If it's about the money A. Thomas is going to be much more expensive than Fletcher, and he's only a couple of years younger.

[MTK]

The contacts the Redskins ink players to always look worse on paper than they actually are. The things to focus on are the years and signing bonus. The deals are always heavily backloaded so the players rarely see that money.

Looks like the Lions are also interested in Fletcher. We'll see how this plays out.

So, along with the Redskins front office, the Lions are interested in Fletcher too?

Hmm. This can't be good. Red flags anyone?

If he's not originally from that area, I think he'd have to be crazy to jump aboard the Lions ship. However, should a winning team jump into the race, it might make him tougher to sign.
