It's LaRon Landry!

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

fantastic we have two good safties but what about our sucky dline. Still cant stop the run or a damn pass rush not a great pick. I dont care how good your safties or corners are if you dont have a pass rush and the qb has 20 seconds to pass the wr will get open.

Hey Chief, it will be okay. Next year when we are drafting in the TOP 5 in rounds 1 through 5, maybe we can address our pathetic D-line. I was hoping for a draft day deal that would have helped us out. Oh, that's right GW is a freaking genius

[CHIEF CHUCKING MY SPEAR]

only good thing that has come out of this nightmare is as of right now we have all of our picks for next year. But the only bad thing about that is Vinny and danny still will be making the picks. Why cant we get a real football man to run this team.

[MTK]

Vinny could be out soon.

I don't give two shits about who gets "jacked-up"! I care about wins, and more wins. When we have obvious needs, we should address them. Who knows, maybe all this talk about our current D-line sucking will inspire them to show us a little something. I feel sorry for guys like P-lo who are trying to re-hab and get back on the field and earn a spot on the team. This has to smack him in the face. And our man ST, will this mean that he will replaced by LL? Because, you know it's typical for us to draft the one good player, have him play on our team for couple of years, and not resign him to only have him go to another team to be a stud.

I'll tell you "wtf" I'm talking about. In a year or two when ST's contract is up, he will be gone and our "awesome" safeties will be broken up.

I can't believe some of the pesimism that I am reading on these forums about this pick - Landry was the best defensive player in THE ENTIRE DRAFT, we got him at #6!
All this talk about we need D-Line - does anyone remember our DBs getting gashed for some silly number of plays of 20 yards or more!
We had 6 (SIX), yes I'll say it again S I X interceptions!
With the pick of Landry we upgrade immensely, you could take everyone who played his position for us last season, add them together and you still wouldn't have half the player Landry is!
With a better, deeper set of DBs (Smoot, Landry, Macklin) along with Rogers and Springs hopefully back to health it can only HELP our D-Line (its called a coverage sack), if the wrs and tes are covered it gives our DEs more time to get to the QB!
DL was not the be all and end all of this draft, we took the most talented player available and we will reap the dividends of this pick for years to come - our DL will look so much better just from the DBs not being toast!

From what I gather Nemo holds jersey #30 right now, I just hope he allows LaRon to have the jersey (in return for a little compensation).

Ok then we will get a new one from the draft. As of now I can promise you Taylor is not gonna lose his starting position. Hell hopefully they resign him too after his contract is up, but that is a bit of an unreasonable fear.

Hopefully ST and Landry can play well together, that will be the big question.

Yeah, that's so typical. Give some examples.

At no. 6, this was the right choice. No one, not even the vaunted Okoye was as good a choice at #6. Now, would we have better off trading down and getting more players. Yeah probably, but as someone (I believe Offiss) pointed out, it takes more than one team to complete a trade. And with a deep draft on D, like this year's, it's not as easy to make a trade.

It's also worth noting that Landry played against more talented teams in the SEC more regularly than Okoye did within the Big East.

Smooty, with all due respect, were you a fan back in the 90's? Because that is all that this team did. Maybe this team will start to change it's philosophy but, this team was notorious for drafting guys, developing them for 4 to 5 years and then letting them go to became stars on another team. I now realize that this Landry pick was probably the best thing that this team could do given all of the well documented and discused draft scenaios. If you want an example, here is one of our somewhat most recent C. Bailey and Lavar A. Look at the termoil and unsettled nature that these two positions have left our team. But, I will say this, this offseason looks familar to the one we had back in 05'. And we know how much fun we had back then as fans. Go Skins!

Been a fan since the early 80s. The only person in recent memory who you can say went on to be a star (or stud) on another team is Antonio Pierce. And we didn't even draft him really, he was an undrafted free agent. Champ was a star from day one in the NFL, but we got (in my opinion at least) a star in Clinton Portis.

LaVar is a legend in his own mind only. There is no other player they lost that went on to be a star on another team. The only player we really should have never lost is Antonio Pierce, and maybe Ryan Clark. Ramsey, Arrington, Bowen, Royal, Gardner, McCants, etc-I don't miss any of them. Neither should anyone else.

SS, you didn't mention Ramsey.....I guess that means that you miss him.
