Are you asking if there was Defense player or Oline pick in the 3rd round or beyond in the 2011 that would have produced a Superbowl victory by now?

Redraft the 2011 class, Randal Cobb is picked in the top 10 easily.

Cobb is just an example of cant miss weapon. Is there one this year? I dont know.

I doubt that. Would he be a first round pick? Absolutely, but who is he replacing in the top 10? Because Andy Dalton, Colin Kaepernick, JJ Watt, Ryan Kerrigan, and possibly Robert Quinn who werent drafted in the top 10 would still be taken over him. By the way, no one is a can't miss weapon.

Panthers' Chris Gamble is going to be available when they release him.


Not a bad idea as a depth signing and insurance in case we cannot get someone like Clemons or McKelvin.

I'd rather keep Hall but if we're picking someone up, Gamble might be a decent consideration.

New England will somehow get him anyway.

They seem to take everyone's projects.

Nick Barnett released by the Bills per Schefter. Has 3-4 experience playing in Green Bay, could be some good depth, though I don't know how good he has been and whatnot. His 2012 stats: 112 tackles, 2 sacks, and 3 FF.

Is the safety they released decent?

The safety Wilson according to Rotoworld:

Pro Football Focus graded Wilson as the No. 8 safety in the entire league in 2012, but the new Bills coaching staff obviously didn't regard him as highly. Wilson turns 32 this offseason. He can still cover and fills hard in run support, so he should have a good chance to land on his feet.

I think we sign those two, and call it a day !

according to that list, 16 teams (plus us with penalty) are at or over 120M. There will be a lot of restructuring and surprise cuts, the question is who will take advantage of it. This is where the NFLPA hurt themselves by agreeing to our penalty. It's pretty much a guarantee we would use the opportunity to sign several players, probably to nice contracts, certainly market level contracts, as opposed to the Cincinatti, Indianapolis, Cleveland's of the NFL. Granted it's not a lot, and they were going for the throat, but we would have easily used that cap space on some of the guys who the stale cap will have hurt.

[MTK]

a lot of teams in much worse shape than the Skins that's for sure

[T.O.Killa]

After looking at this, I think we got a huge advantage in the uncapped year. And Dan saved 36 million dollars. We still dont look that bad. Look at those cheap bastard Bengals.

I wasnt calling cobb a diamond in the rough. I was making an educated (or uneducated -lol) guess that if the skins go after a wr in the draft it will be in the later rounds, hence diamond in the rough. I was not referring to Cobb in the first part of my post but rather just a wr in general. As far as Cobb i never said he wasnt worthy of a top ten pick, (although i agree with Quake that he probably wouldnt be if it was done again) just that i think they would be better served with an upgrade at the oline or on defense because of their current high powered offense - which was high powered long before cobb got there. Im not sure there is somebody in that draft that fits the bill? Again i was just trying to make the point that there were other areas of need besides wr not so much an opinion about Cobb. Im more of a believer in drafting for need than best player available, unless of course it is a complete and utter no brainer, but than its always "why is that guy still on the board"? So....
