The potential is there every season, but it never pans out. Best case scenario is Moss maintains his level of production, Garcon draws the double team and Morgan gets a bone every once in a while. It is a good thng that we have good TE's.

Is Gordon a better prospect than Hankerson was/is?

Wasnt Gordon kick out of 2 schools, Utah and Baylor? I would say no based just on that.

Hankerson was a bad ass coming out of Miami. His senior year was impressive.

All very true but i would say Gordon is probably the better "prospect" in that he has more natural ability and likely more upside.

I agree with the first part. We don't need troublemakers in our locker room, it's bad enough having two very talented players who have made extremely poor choices that will hang consequences over their head for the rest of their careers.

I say why not? We passed up his center in the draft he seemed to be clamoring for, why not appease RGIII....good morale, familiar target, and the kid just looks, well good. I'm in favor.

But a lot of baggage and not exactly a good kid.

Josh Gordon reportedly won't fall past third round - NFL.com

On Silva's Twitter account, he goes even further. He said there's "no chance" Gordon will get past the third round and added the team is from the NFC East. Which means we are going to conduct some irresponsible guesswork.

What do you guys think of this? The only two teams in the east I could see taking him are us (hopefully not; especially not for a 3rd rounder) and Dallas.

Read the article, don't understand why the author dismisses the Eagles as a speculative NFC suitor for Gordon.

I'd guess Dallas is definitely the team

Hopefully, a 2nd-round pick lost for this guy would be great for them.

The fact we're debating this is baffling to me. This guy is not an elite prospect. He may have been a good college player somewhat and have some upside but why the hell does that mean we should use another pick on him? He really isn't a better option than most of what we already have and there are obvious risks.

Well said. Or, put differently, he isn't a better option than someone else that we can get in the third round of the regular draft in 2013 (which apparently is his price tag).

People love them some WRs

I guess the Skins have to consider the draft picks they won't have in 2013 as well. Maybe snaggng Gordon in the supplemental draft gives them better value; a player more likely to start as suppose to just praticing and playing teams. Character issues are always a concern but, I won't dissapointed whichever way the team decides to go.
