With the 5th pick in the draft the Washington Redskins select...

[JoeRedskin]

Here is one of Kiper's breakdown of the top five (assuming no trades):

1. TBay - Winston
2. Tenn - Mariotta
3. Jax - Williams
4. Oak - Cooper
5. Wash - Fowler

Say Fowler goes to Jax, as some project, and, similarly, Oakland goes with White over Cooper. Who do you pick at 5? Williams, Cooper or Beasley.

Personally, based on everything I have read about it, Williams is the BPA of the draft and he fits a need so it's a no brainer to me.

On the other hand, if its Cooper, Fowler and Beasley, that's just a tough call given the immediate needs of the team, Fowler and Beasley's lack of "sure thing"edness, and Cooper's guaranteed (as guaranteed as a draft pick can be) high floor. (Every talking head and analyst says all this guy's comparable's are perennial pro bowler/HOFer's - like Williams, he appears to be about as close to a sure thing as you can get in the draft).

Confronted by the Cooper/Fowler/Beasley conundrum, I defer to Scot McC and will not give him crap no matter whom he picks.
