Re: Positives and hope from a lost season

There are some good positives for this team:
1. RB position is set with Helu, Royster, and a re-signing Hightower
2. Depth on Offensive line. If we can draft a quality left gaurd we will be in good shape.
3. Kyle towards the end of season has got this offense looking like it belongs in the NFL.
4. Defense from 31 to 13 bookend OLB's will get better and better. I like that after 3 years Orakpo finnaly learned how to tackle Vick.
5. Special teams coverage unit number 1
6. With all the picks we gathered for this year I am confident we will be able to move up to draft the Qb we want.
7. Hankerson (if he can come back from the hip injury)

Re: Positives and hope from a lost season

Anyone know where I can find what our current draft picks are? Also what type of compensatory pick the team might receive for losing Rogers to free agency if any?

Re: Positives and hope from a lost season

Too bad this is the worst year to have the 6th pick in the draft ever.

We obviously won't draft Trent Richardson, no quarterback is worth being taken in the vicinity of 6 who will be available, taking a tackle would be beyond redundant and we don't need help in the front 7. Looks like we're taking a corner and hoping somehow we strike magic (unlikely) in the later rounds for a QB.

We really just have too many needs to not be able to find good value at the 6 pick. And even if you are right about not finding good value...we have the possibility of trading down.

skins probably aren't getting any comp picks. we picked up bowen, cofield, wilson, otagwe etc in FA, all with sizeable deals

I didn't think about that, thanks.
