Skins have 10th overall selection. Who do we pick?

Well when I wrote this I didn't realize Luck was the most coveted QB and rumor was he would be the #1 draft pick most likely. I did mention I don't follow college ball as much as others.

But watching the game last night left me not as excited about him as I was before last nights game. He (to me) just looked sloppy and inactivate for the first two quarters. I guess there would have to more of looking at his overall season and play which I didn't watch.

But.... Dalton still looked good to me.

Andrew Luck seems like a good pick also I guess....

Good call with AJ Green .... Blackmon will probably be gone now that I think about it ... AJ Green would be ideal .. kind of a Brandon Marshall WR .. be nice next to Moss/AA/AJ ... Cooley/Davis ... SKINS are headed in right direction, i've never felt better about a 6-10 team in my life.

Green is at this point rated higher than Blackmon, but there's a long way to go & a lot can change. Green is a thin dude, I wonder if his durability will be a question. Julio Jones is rated by most slightly lower than Green, both of those guys are top 10 as of now.

I would love to see a wr picked but would be scared if they did so at #10. I wonder if Green or Jones happened to fall that far if he would be too good to pass up, a la the 49ers when they got Crabtree.

Id take Blackmon over Julio Jones...But I thought Blackmon is staying at Ok St? Anybody know?

I think we all can agree it all depends on what the team is able to get done in the off season in FA. My area of needs are;
OL
NT
LB/DE
FS
WR

One could argue QB. If they decide to keep McNabb (which I doubt) and coach him up for next year then thats one less position, but I seriously think they dump McNabb for whatever they can get and lean heavily on Grossman next year, interceptions and all. So that leaves OL, NT, LB/DE, FS, and WR. I can see them making whatever big splashes they can at WR which again narrows down the picks. Dump Moss unless he takes a pay cut, keep Armstrong, Austin, and pick up whatever top WR is available in FA.

So we are looking at OL, NT, LB/DE, FS, and maybe a QB. The choice at QB is either get a high enough pick to get one of the best or look for a developemental QB middle of the draft. We have no 3rd or 4th round pick which is where people are saying Andy Dalton might go. So again I would suggest dropping out of the 10th pick in hopes of picking up either another 2nd round pick or a 3rd and hope one of the good QB's are available.

I'd just be supprised if they put all their eggs in to move up for a QB. Grossman is not great but not bad and already knows the scheme. Bringing in another QB would mean exactly what we saw with McNabb, a QB who doesn't know the scheme as good as Grossman. So if we are going to do that lets bring in a QB who can be developed for the future and use the top draft picks to shore up the OL.

safety is a real need but we have so many

I would agree but I think they are more SS material. One could argue about Landry and I know he was a FS in college but I think he fits better at SS. We need a sideline to sideline FS unless Barns impressed the coaching staff that much or Horton or Moore is the answer.

If I had to make a guess right now, I would say they take Von miller

[SirClintonPortis]

The player with the highest probability of success, excluding TE, FB, RB, and O-line. O-line is exluded since we already have an LT and nobody spends a high pick on the other positions of the line.

Trade down to the teens, then trade down again.. I get the feeling we're going to go into this draft with 2 additional mid round (4th or 5th round) picks for McNabb and Haynesworth and then try to stock up on picks.

A lot depends on free agency but my doomsday scenario is Jake Locker at #10. He just screams HEATH SHULER to me.

Guess you haven't seen Locker play. He'd be more comparable to Tim Tebow, just more athletic with a better arm.

FALSE. He's only as good as the people he has around him. That means he wouldn't look too good in Burgundy and Gold next year most likely seeing as our talent pool isn't exactly stellar at this point. I don't like the kid much. I would much rather take Mallet. ....Or Ryan Leaf. lol.
