It's LaRon Landry!

[itvnetop]

Although my preference with Okoye, I'm happy with Landry. GW knows he needs stability back there, and although LL is known for being a ball-hawk, I believe he'll learn how to improve his positioning (by watching more film that taylor). Looking long-term, if we can't re-sign Swoop, having Landry back there will be important.

If the duo can stay together, the middle is going to turn into an alligator hunt.

I voted on the fence because there is no way knowing which is true for all draft picks. You just don't know. I will say that watching the films of him on this site he looks alot like ST.

I liked the fact that they said his tackles dropped his senior season because opposing offensive coords stayed away from him. To me it says a lot more than the fact that he hits hard.

Barring any injury, people will love this pick soon.

I have a feeling we'll all start loving the pick by preseason.

Is it also true that he played some corner? Could they be thinking along these lines?

i love the pick. sure it would have been nice to trade out of the 6 spot and gather more picks but the skins could not find a dance partner. so that means they have to chose someone at 6. landry was the best choice, he was the best defensive player in the draft plus it gives the skins an awsome defensive backfield.

Can't there be a choice of "Like it" ??

I don't hate it, I don't love it, so I chose on the fence.

Agreed! I'm a fence sitter as well. I'm thinking about some switching to the 3-4 Defensive packages.

Man, this fence is hard to hang on! Ain't comfortable either!

I know it takes two teams to make a trade-down work, but that is really what I was looking for.

So, high atop my fence perch, I see the best choice was LL, (kind of like saying AA, but better, younger, and certainly faster!), but a trade would have netted more bodies.

I feel like this fence is hitting me in the groin area!

LL was both a high character guy, as well as higher rated than any DE/DL on the board at the 6th pick.

Did I mention my groin! (Painful expression inserted here!)

And on top of it all; (kind of like this fence thingy!), the Washpost had said the B&G were looking to take LL right where they did!

I hope the FO feels the same about this fence situation that I feel! (Agony, hurt!)

Here's a legit question: How tall is this kid? I've seen in one official place that he's 6.0 1/2 and on another 'official' website that he's 6'2".

Is it possible he entered his frosh year at 6.0 and then grew to 6'2" by his senior year?

Stephen Davis did have that one big year with the Panthers, but then his leg fell off and his career hasn't been the same since.

True, and I'm sure you can throw Brad Johnson in there. But I was thinking more in terms of since Gibbs joined

I agree with you. I was thinking about it and Davis was just about the only name I came up with, but he doesn't even really count b/c he was a beast for us.

As far as players since Gibbs came back, I guess one could argue that we haven't drafted well/had all that many draft picks since his return.

I remember everyone here wishing that we still had Stephen Davis when Gibbs came to town because he was a "Gibbs-type" back.

Something tells me Davis could never have stood up to the pounding Gibbs would have required of him. He was yet another example of how most running backs can only do it for 3 or 4 seasons in top form.
