Skins have 10th overall selection. Who do we pick?

Newton also can throw the ball with power and accuracy. I think unless he explodes against oregon, the risk factor still makes him available at 10. Snyder lives for a pick like that and shannahan loves quarterbacks like that. I dont think he is as much like vick as he has potential to be vince young with a better arm. Build the team around him, repair the defense through FA, sign a slot/#2 receiver like Sims-Walker, and draft OL and Wr's

Agree to disagree. I'm not suggesting he won't become a good qb, I'm just not interested in taking the chance that he won't. I don't see him becoming this team or anyone else franchise qb.

Even though I would be happy with Quinn at #10. I really think we need to trade down, and try to feel some more gaps on our Oline, and defense then going after 1 big time player early..

[jsarno]

Cam Newton is NOT our answer. Trade down! We need more picks, and there are plenty of good olinemen to be had later in the draft.
I'd like to see us trade for Tebow, but I understand that's a pipe dream. We aren't going to be contenders next year (if there is one) and Tebow is the type that will need a full season before he truly gets it.

ahh if we get Quinn i'll be the happiest fan ever! SS i'm new to the forum do u have an inside connection to the management of the Skins? Mann if we get Quin!! with Orakpo... don't forget guys.. we still have our 2nd rounder, another 4th rounder for Campbell this year... and then obviously our 3rd to.. so we can get quality players those rounds but we need the BEST player available on the board, for that high of a pick.. I think we need to get our defense stronger in this draft because our D is getting old.. Fletcher will probably retire in a year or 2.. and i've been hearing Mcintosh won't be back next year.. we're already down a strong LB.. if we can manage to get Quinn.. he's suppose to be top 5 pick and has comparisons of Demarcus Ware and Patrick Willis.. Put him on our D and with Orakpo.. opposiing teams offenses will be running for ther lives!! We can get Tyrod Taylor in 2nd rd if we need a stud QB.. and O-line in FA with WR in the FA... and try to get a stud RB?? what u guys think..

Our 4th for JC comes next year. We have no 3rd. I have inside connections (though not as strong as they used to be) through more than a decade of working in sports media. So I'm able to provide info here, I'd say maybe 70-80% of the time I'm correct. Things change. Sometimes I'm wrong. It happens

Even though I really like Kellan Moore, if Newton is available when we pick we'd be fools to pass him up.

[TheSmurfs22]

Can we draft a new owner??

[IrMitchell]

Wow, I liked Von Miller after seeing him play just one game.. But after watching his most recent, man this guy is going to be better than Orakpo.

Not quite as efficient in terms of rushing the passer, but can this guy ever tackle!

Draft Von Miller at #10 and we'll have the two boys from Texas (different schools) for the next 5 years.

Agreed. Add a FA inside LB and you have a solid LB group. Unless AJ Green is somehow still at 10, then we take him.

8th ranked Passing Offense > 31st ranked Defense

Von Miller > AJ Green

*Best player available is fun in theory, but we have to worry about our biggest fallback from last year.

True. How sweet would that be to have Orakpo, FA, Fletcher, Von Miller????

JaFatcus was lazy. The jury on Newton's work ethic...well that will speak for itself when the time comes.

[SkinItup]

I agree with a bunch of people on here, We should trade down and get a couple more picks. As much as i dislike the Patriots they do amazing things in the draft and its normally by trading down.

But if we don't and Farley is still there, he would be what haynesworth never was for us. Also I like Newton but he is a project, I'd rather wait till the second round and pick up Kellen Moore, there is no question of his work ethic. But please, please, please, I hope we do not take locker like so many project. He is a good athlete but he is an inaccurate thrower.

I like Fairley also, but I can't see him available at 10. Drafting Moore in the second round would be a massive reach if you ask me. Locker would be much more reasonable in the second than Moore. I like Moore, don't get me wrong, but I just don't know if he'll ever be a true starting qb in the NFL. He seems more like the guy you want holding the clipboard and coming in as a back up. I wonder if he won't end up making a good coach?
