Am I the only one who is not even remotely afraid that the skins would take a QB at #10. I just can't see it happening - am I a fool?

[SmootSmack]

Yes you are a fool. Now what was your question

I don't think they'll take a QB at 10

So I know that we're not about giving up future picks, but it's looking very likely that Michael Floyd (following his DUI and indefinite suspension from ND) will be entering the supplemental draft this summer. Here's a guy who could be a late 1st/2nd round pick in the regular draft but could now be had for maybe a 4th in the supplemental draft. I'd be very very tempted to make that move.

Kid has already had 2 alcohol related incidents already, and you want to thrust him into a market like DC? This is not going to end well if we did make that move.

2 red flags already with this guy. Pass.

Yeah i view supplemental draft picks different then trading picks for vets or bundling picks to move up in the draft. I liked getting Jarmon and i wish we got Gaither before. I dont really know to much about the player, but if hes a good player i got no problem with it

Kind of like V. Jackson, and a lot of people wanted to trade for him. I dont think his off the field problems are all that bad.

I don't see him as a problem child, he's a kid in college. He rolled through a stop sign and was pulled over by campus police. Is it excusable that he was over the legal limit? No, but I think a much bigger deal is being made of this than need be. And if he wasn't a Division 1 star, probably no one even hears of it.

4th round pick is just the right price, since that's what we have from the JC trade. I know his off field issues might be a problem, but at that price it's more low to med. risk.

That's not really 'giving up' a future pick, it's simply using it earlier. I liked the Jarmon pick a lot, hope he can become the starting RDE.

As long as he can play like John Riggins drunk I'm all for it.

I am not buying the red flag BS anymore. All high character guys give you is a disciplined locker room, not x's in the "W" column. As long as he plays great on sunday he can hang out with Big Ben in Georgia for all I care anymore.

20 years of losing is enough.

This isn't the 80's. No matter how good they are, it's not going to do your team a bit of good if he's suspended by the NFL for alcohol related events.


You aren't buying the "red flag BS" anymore? Guess who you have a ton in common with? Dan Snyder and Vinny Cerrato. You are in good company.

Believe it or not, leadership accounts for more than you can imagine. Teddy Bruschi comes to mind.

I think you & Angry are portaying this as either/or. Sure, the kid has some bad history but he may be smart & mature enough that he'll be able to deal w/it. At the same time, I certainly agree that team can't & won't just ignore this stuff.

For the right price, it's worth the risk. I always look back at Warren Sapp as the classic case of teams overeacting, he fell back out of the top 10 due to reports of a positve drug test. We passed on Sapp & got M. Westbrook instead. How'd that turn out?
