Chevis Jackson in my mind is not fast enough to be a corner in the NFL, if he can bulk up he could probably make the transition to safety, and be a quality player.

What do you guys think about the possiblity of the Skins trading up into the early second round to possibly grab a Devin Thomas, Limas Sweed, or Malcolm Kelly? Especially considering that Limas Sweed has a good chance of falling into the early 2nd round.

Or do we reach on a Joe Jurivicious/Kevin Walter type in Jordy Nelson or hope a guy like Jerome Simpson falls to us in the third? Remember the team is probably targeting Tony Hills and Mike McGlynn with that comp selection so lineman lovers fear not. The team will find a quality lineman in the third round

Avoid Thomas at all costs because he's a guy who couldn't climb his college depth chart for two seasons, then had a really good year in 07 and bolted before he had a chance to be a fluke. That's simply not first day material.

Sweed and Kelly are both good players, but if we were trading up from the 2nd round, the best deal I would offer would be the 2nd, and our 6th rounder. That's only going to move us up a few spots.

I'd rather sit tight at 51 and try to land Manningham, or just pick at a position of greater need if the value isn't good.
