What are your thoughts on drafting a WR with our first round pick?

simple: hell no
DE should be 1st pick. Daniels is old. Look at what the giants did if you dont
believe me!!!

A big wide receiver is going to be a priority, just don't know if one is going to be considered in the first round.

Both lines need to be addressed, CB, LB, and S are areas needing depth and upgrading.
Cerrato said he's looking for a D-lineman who can get consistent push up the middle, and a back-up FB to mike Sellers. He seems to like Owen Schmitt the big FB from WV who is a local kid from Fairfax Va. and is interested in working him out.

A caller asked Vinny on Redskins Radio about the DE position, and he quickly pointed out AC had 101/2 sacks last year, PD & CW combined for another 10. It would apear he feels that that's sufficient production from the DE position, and chose to concentrate more on a player inside that can provide more push in the middle. He did not however rule out seeking help for the DE position in the draft.

I think we can find an WR outside of the draft. The Skins need to concentrate on the O'line, finding another pass rusher, CB or SS, FS.

WR would be a huge mistake, since they might not even start for two years. besides being a high miss position, we have bigger needs at DE (and possibly DB), and the FA market may have 3 great pickups available via trade (CJ/williams/fitz).

Are you from Detroit? If we did id want manningham, but I dont. IMO we have to many bigger priorities.

kelly wont be there at 21 and i don't think sweed's a great risk to take, since he never had great years and he got a lot of stats off teams like rice.

I think jackson is the safe bet, and kelly's a longer shot, but still viable... after that it looks mainly like #2's and depth, though i guess you never know.

meanwhile, the DT/DE talent in the first round is CRAZY and that happens to be a huge need for us anyways.

i think we'll probably go DE/CB, DE/DT, CB/DL, or DL/WR in the draft right now. if the CB is cromartie or porter, i'm happy with that... the 2nd round WR would be devin thomas in all likelyhood. i'd also really like phillips, but honestly, griffin or zbikowski are 3rd rounders and would still provide a good upgrade there, while letting us get more total starting talent by getting a core #1 CB or DL guy.

None of these guys you all are talkin about will be there @ #21. Maybe Sweed, cuz his stock is falling rapidly. Either way you look at it, we'd be retarded to go WR in the 1st. James HArdy maybe, cuz he looks great, but I'd still be upset if he was drafted and we need help in so many othe areas. PLus, wr's 1st round contract are harder to reach and cost more that most other positions.

NO WR IN THE 1ST!!!!!!

I think we have plenty of recievers we have much more pressing matters elsewhere that need to be attended to first

mauiRedskinbarn · 02-20-2008, 04:59 AM

There are going to be very good WR in free agency weather in be Wilford, Bryant Johnson, Javon Walker, moss, muhammad, Porter, etc. All these guys coulb make an immediate impact. Pick up one of these guys, keep Caldwell, (maybe thrash), and draft a guy in the later rounds, this years draft is stacked with high talent at WR, we could get a gem on the 2nd day maybe, if not at least we got Espy and Mix coming up. then go for d-line and db's with the 1st 2 picks possibly 3 picks
