Watch him in the senior bowl; he looked awful.

I would be okay with a tackle in either the 2nd or 3rd.

I would really prefer defensive backs with the first two picks.

As long as we get a few guys to make contributions , I will be happy with our draft .

That's the way I'm taking it, not chiselling in stone or anything like that.

I think the fans are probably way more concerned about the secondary than the front office is. And I don't think they are going into the draft thinking it's do or die to find a starter in the secondary. BPA is always the best approach. Drafting for need more often than not results in reaching.

Completely agree, and honestly almost every position on the Redskins could use improvement except QB, even the OLB's could use an added playmaker. There is no reason to only be concerned about the secondary when there might be better players available. Stick with the plan.

IMO are FO is probably thinking if we had more pressure up front are Secondary would of looked better. They will address the secondary but not as much as we think/wish.

It'd be nice to get someone from my alma mater in the 3rd or 4th round.


um I mean someone from my alma matter, the one where I graduated summa cum laude.

That's what I'm thinking.

The more I watch Baccari Rambo, the more I want him. I know 'scouts' have said he's a 3rd rounder, but I like him so much that I think we may just take him at 51. Hell by the time the draft goes around and we see so many teams taking secondary guys he may be the best available when we pick in terms of secondary.

CB in the 2nd RD Safety in the 3rd or vice versa
This draft is stacked with secondary talent !

[CultBrennan59]

How I'd rate the CBs in the draft (w/out some of those obvious guys that will go clearly before we pick)

1. Johnathan Banks
2. Jamar Taylor
3. Jordan Poyer
4. BW Webb
5. Nickell Robey
6. Leon McFadden
7. Tyrann Mathieu
8. Darius Slay
9. Robert Alford
10. Tharold Simon

FWIW, I added my initial notes on these players:

1. Johnathan Banks - Great athlete, heady, plays under control.
2. Jamar Taylor - Average CB, willing tackler.
3. Jordan Poyer - Exciting player, great PR.
4. BW Webb - Looks and plays small.
5. Nickell Robey - Excellent college player but too small.
6. Leon McFadden - Talented but raw.
7. Tyrann Mathieu - Small, character issues.
8. Darius Slay - No notes.
9. Robert Alford - Great cover skills, speed.
10. Tharold Simon - Big, covers well. Poor tackler.

Here are a few more who I like:

1. Bidi Wreh-Wilson - Good cover, run support. Good hands?
2. Logan Ryan - Covers, blitzes well. Good tackler.
3. Adrian Bushell - Fast, covers, tackles. Great ST, KR/PR.

As I mentioned, those were my first notes when I started to look at them. Since then, more information has become known about some of them.

Banks apparently has marginal speed. That would be the only reason we could have a shot at drafting him. If he had run a 4.4 forty, he'd surely go in the 1st Round.

Unfortunately for him, Robert Alford has Crohn's Disease. I have no idea how that will affect his ability to play in the NFL. He's a heckuva football player, though. If the Skins were to draft him, I'd be very pleased.

Not new news, but:

Despite the negatives about him, Tyrann Matthews is a football player. He has great instincts and determination and he could be a steal for some team.

Leon McFadden only played one season at CB. He is very talented and would be a great pickup in the 5th or 6th Round, IMO.

Likewise, Adrian Bushell is an exciting, multi-talented player who might be there as late as the 6th Round. He could really help on ST while he develops.

I know this post is long, but I'm really excited about the DB's in this year's draft who I think could help the Skins.
