Top priority for the 2008 draft

[heybigstar]

I really think LB should be considered as a close 2nd -- think about where our LB Corps will be in year or two, someone please respond, I must be missing something here..

Rocky should be 100% recovered within 2 years and, hopefully, HB Blades will be a solid starter by then as well. In the meantime, guys like Washington and Fletcher should hold things down. Word is that we're going to target Briggs though.

If we bring Briggs in, then what happens to Rocky in 09? Would he be replacing MW on the strong side?

Joe Gibbs just stated in his season ending presser that Rocky McIntosh should be ready by the season opener next year.

I think CB should be first, then D-Line.

Yeah I think some doctors on tv a couple of weeks ago were saying he could potentially be ready by August because his MCL isn't as bad at it originally appeared to be.

I can make an argument for this. This group is going to need a new starting outside linebacker next season assuming Rocky misses the season. Also, Marcus Washington's best days are behind him IMO. I don't think he can't play anymore, but I think he may have about 2 or 3 years left of being very good. Also, London was great this year, but I can't guarantee that he can be counted on for more than next season or the year after.

This is an aging group outside of Rock and HB Blades, that does not bode well for us. However, I don't feel like LB should be a priority for this draft, but next year it could be the #1 pick.
