I've been convinced that we're not going after a wideout in the draft with the 9th overall pick. The Washington Times' latest article on the 'Skins leads me to believe we will in fact draft on defense.

I'm going to say it again, we're drafting Antrelle Rolle (if Adam Jones is off the board when we pick) with the 9th overall pick on draft day. I like the move. Any thoughts?

Why is everyone so high on Mike Williams? (I hope he isn't around for the Redskins to pick.)

If Redskins want to make a splash, trade up and get Braylon Edwards if they want the best WR.

If not, pick up Pac-Man Jones for corner depth and future. Not sold on Rolle. Or pick Troy Williamson, he is 6'1", 202 with speed. Or trade down and get a DE and 2nd Rd Pick if possible.

And what's with some Mock Drafts having the Skins pick Heath Miller, TE out of VA? Didn't they just draft a TE/HB last year? And traded up to get him? That logic escapes me....
