DRAFT Nightmare!!!!

2. Taking the "best player available" does not always equate to a successful draft pick. If this mock draft is correct, and the top two WRs and CBs are taken when #9 rolls around, the Skins (who don't have a second round pick, yet again) would absolutely be best served trading down a few spots to acquire an additional pick(s). Why would they make a stretch on the 3rd best CB or WR when they could get them later in the draft? And why would they simply opt for the "best player available"? What if the best player available is a RB, or an OLB, or a Safety? That, to me, doesn't make sense. Just my opinion.

You DO NOT..........repeat..........DO NOT....draft a "mediocre" cornerback with the #9 overall. What about that do you not understand. Unless it is proven that he is a pure shutodwn corner, which he is not, do you even think about it.

So just so we all understand what you're saying is that the "best" cornerbacks in this year's draft, Rolle and Pac-Man, are "mediocre" and therefore are not worthy of being the #9 pick

Is that what you're saying?

Then why draft a CB at all? Thats the problem with the draft, you never know what you are getting as far as talent goes. Look at how many players are drafted at the #1 spot and end up on there asses in the NFL.

Do you think that the chargers believe that they were drafting a "mediocre" QB when they drafted Leaf? Or how about when the Redskins drafted Heath Shuler, I suppose that they felt he was pretty "mediocre" so they thought what the the hell let's just wast our 1st round pick on a "mediocre" QB.

My point is that until any draft prospect plays in the NFL no one really knows who is "mediocre" and who is the second coming of Deion Sanders.

Cooley???????? Is that the best you can do? You homers act like he dominated. He was just another sad, putrid, overhyped part of our crappy offense.

First, no offense man, but please put down the crack pipe and wait a few hours before posting messages.

Now, since you've addressed my post directly, I will tell you what I don't "understand". As I said in my post before (and I'm still waiting on the answer to this), WHO DO YOU CLAIM IS A "MEDIOCRE" CORNERBACK? What don't YOU understand about a simple question like THAT? If you're claiming that Rolle or Jones are "mediocre" CBs, then please see my "crack pipe" comment above because you are the only person in America who doesn't consider them first-tier cornerbacks. In fact, most experts agree that Carlos Rogers is also worthy of a middle to late 1st round pick.

As for the comment about Cooley being "overhyped"? Can you please explain to me how a 3rd round rookie was ever overhyped? I'm pretty sure being drafted in the 3rd round prevents anyone from being overhyped.
