I think this is an excellent development for the Redskins. If Taylor's stock is indeed dropping, it could be possible for the Skins to trade down a few spots and pick up both Taylor AND a solid defensive lineman. Or they could trade down and pick up two defensive linemen. Taylor's stock dropping is the best thing that could happen for the Skins. There's plenty of other outstanding talent vying for the top 5 spots (mostly QBs and WRs-- which the Skins don't need), and that will ensure a viable market for the Skins' #5 pick. Unless the Skins are dead-set on picking Winslow, they would be wise to turn Taylor's loss into their gain...

I don't agree with those scouts' asessment. I think this guy deserves every bit of credit that he gets. He had what 9 INTs last season? He has great hands (unlike Bowen who finds himself in position but can't haul in those INTs), great vision, great feet (he played RB in HS), and great size for a safety (even if he doesn't hit as hard as he should).

He hasn't been held in high regard for oustanding hits (though he hits just fine), rather, he gets praise for all the things I listed. So, when someone says he doesn't hit as well as he should, I'm not too concerned. If he hits like a very good safety and not like a LaVar Arrington (which, given his size and speed, would not be an unrealistic expectation) then I'm happy.

I watched the guy and he IS amazing. He has flaws, like any other football player, but his strengths are overwhelming. That said, I think we're going to draft Winslow.

Who knows what we'll do. We've got a month till the draft, and the 'experts' come out with a new prediction every week. Personally, I'd love to have Taylor or Winslow. Taylor will do wonders to all facets of the defense while Winslow will make the offense very scary. As for Taylor's stock dropping, that could be the Lions (or any other team) pumping bogus information just to try and sway the decisions of other teams' FOs. I trust Gibbs and Co. to make the best decision on this one, so I'm not gonna worry about it too much.

I'm with Cpayne. I think that both of these players will be special players. Very special players. Either one I'll be pleased with. Every day picking one becomes harder.
