As a Hokie & skins fan you might think that I would want a Hokie pro-bowler to come to DC. I do, but not DeAngelo Hall (or Vick, but that's another story).

That dude is bad news, that's why atl. was looking to get rid of him. He's a great athlete & will tackle hard too, but he's known for his selfishness & poor attitude. Not a team guy at all.

somebody compared him to b loyd - that's accurate only Hall can actually play.

In 2003 VT had a talented roster w/Hall, Kevin Jones, Lee Suggs, Earnest Wilford et al & were ranked as high as #3. The team fell apart & the defense totally tanked in some games.

Some people I know that talk to the coaches regularly said that Hall was a big part of the problem. He goes to the nfl a year later & in 04 the team improves by 3 games & loses to undefeated Auburn (w/JC at qb) in the sugar bowl.

Please Gibbs, learn from the Loyd signing! (not that there's any indication that the Skins are interested in him)

As far as trading picks I think we should not trade any more picks - why not let our cap get a little relief for once and at the same time get guys who are young and right out of college and build from within? I know that getting a big name player like a Hall could plug a hole at corner, but why not let the scouting department try to prove its worth at finding some gems in the draft? If I am not mistaken wasn't Asante Samuel taken in like the fourth round?

All I am trying to say is picks in rounds 2-4 can really contribute and they come at a relative bargain price wise - lets try this route for once and let the NFL players who "just want to get paid" go somewhere else for a change.
