What should we draft?

we haven't had a good, solid run stopper in the middle since Butz and Grant left. and with Grimm, you are talking about a versatile lineman that should probably be in the hall

We need to let this season play out. We have 5 games left.

We need to somehow aquire about 4 first round picks. DT, OG, OT, OLB, we need young talent everywhere. We will likely be in position to grab the top Guard in the draft. The offense is behind the D right now, and we've got to be building around Campbell. After the 3rd rd, you aren't necessarily looking for starters, and we need some, so probably have some free agents coming in. I can't see Haynesworth leaving Tenn though.

Would he fit our system?

I don't really know. He's a beast though.
That guy Peria Jerry, DT from Ole Miss looks great, but probably gone by the time we pick. Regardless, the O-line is in more dire need than the D-line at this point, and Jason Taylor is our 2nd round pick, so got to go O in the first, I think. Duke Robinson and Herman Johnson look like can't-miss guards, the kind of guys Portis deserves to run behind.

That's exactly what i was thinking. We have some young talent in parts of our team but we need to focus our draft on our lines. Anything after the 3rd or 4th round is hit or miss. We don't have a second round pick this year. So the first round is best overall player on oline or dline.

We'll have plenty of time in the slow offseason to hash this over. Plenty of time.

I went with a DT, but only because I think we can find an OLB and a versatile young OL in free-agency. Without a dominate DT in the middle to collapse the pocket we're never gonna get a pass rush of the edges imo.

Didnt they fran tag him this year b/c they couldnt agree on an extension? i did not follow haynesworth that much this off season but i thought they tagged him with the understanding that he will be gone next year if they dont pony up big bucks.

haynesworth would be sweet, hes only what 27?

How about a guy who is being projected as a starter in his rookie year at either guard or center? He has been compared to some of the top centers in the league and we know how the Skins like guys who can play more than one position. This guy could be a quality starter for years and make things easier for Campbell AND Portis. Oh yeah, and he's super-smart.

I've mentioned him in other threads. This is my man crush of the draft.

I started reading about him after one of your post's TMC. Kid looks pretty awesome.

No one under 300 lbs. Just let Bugel and Blanche handle the draft this year, Dan and Vinny can go play handball, or racquetball or whatever it is they do.

You got it Hog1, but since other teams know about him too, it's going to be a hard-fought game to get him.

Best available of these:

Defensive Tackle
Offensive Tackle

Or trade the entire draft class for Kris Jenkins.
