I think there will be players like Udeze, Smith, Harris et al available in the first round of any draft. I also doubt the Skins will be in position to draft 5th overall again for a very long time (at least I hope so), so it would be a shame to miss out on players of Taylor and Winslow's caliber.

While the defense certainly needs a pass rusher, and taking Taylor or Winslow might not fix our defense this year, I think it's best for the long-term view to get one of those players, and go after the best pass rusher available after the June 1st cuts, or wait till next year. This is not a make or break year, anyway...

I agree, I feel player's of the magnitude of taylor or winslow come around once every 10 year's or so and maybe not even, these 2 are that talented. at this point we have to walk away with one of them, I want taylor but I think because of gibb's association with winslow senior will way very heavy on gibb's decision to pick jr., He may be viewing winslow as an unstoppable force from the TE position, a player who will bring the single most immportant part of championship football and that's a player who can covert 3rd down's into 1st down's at will, and I believe that will be the thinking here come draft day, as well I believe the relationship gibb's has with sr. will also give them assurance's that he won't be a hold out they will probably have a number in place if he's avail. at #5.
