This is definatly a position we need young depth at especially with the expected realease of Harris and I think Springs will be 32 years old.

read his bio. this guy has been all over the field. Not sure what he did in '05 but i saw highlights of him on espn running a punt back for a td

He is real fast but not the greatest CB. He didn't even start at Miami. I would rather try to get Blackmon or Phillips in the 3rd.

Apparently Blackmon's having an identity crisis. Can't decide if hes gonna be a Reciever or Corner. However as we saw last year with Denvers noble 1st day draft experiment that quality corners can be found throughout the first day of the draft so I'm on board with a guy like Blackmon. Hester would be hard to pass up on the second day but then again he is Deions understudy.

CB is a position where i'd draft speed, cause the technique is pretty teachable (as long as they aren't afraid of contact).

blackmon is trying out as both, but he's made it clear he's more of a corner than a WR (though he can do both for your team).

I like J joseph and gerrick mcpherson (2-3 and 5th round respectively).

lawson (which i had slightly behind mcclover) just ran a 4.44 40 and placed first in the 20 yard shuttle, meaning he has great burst AND long speed. I'm all up on that.

Cocong (DL) looked really good too (he's the guy that had 60 tackles for loss and 23 sacks in ONE year). Haralson also looked very quick, but i'm not sure he's big enough.

I think with the speed Lawson showed he will get drafted as a OLB in a 3-4 before we pick anyway. Hester ran a 4.4+ which isn't very impressive considering there were rumors of a sub 4.3 and alot of guys did run in the 4.3's. If we could get Kelly Jennings in the 3rd he could be a steal. He ran a sub 4.4 and tested real well, plus he is actually a good CB unlike Hester.

I agree... but man, there's going to be a lot of good players left in the 2nd round this year.

Honestly I think the Skins need to be lookin at a CB, S, OL, or LB. I think the issue concerning WR will be answered with free agency. If not, then what we have will have to do. Hiring Al Saunders, is again the most important move we have made thus far, just like when we hired Gregg Williams. This guy can make it work.... he can watch and study players and find out what they are best at and fit them into a system, just like Gregg Williams did with Pierce, Bowen, and Clark... Just look at the chiefs, they made it work with the players they had at the WR position, but they had no talent, at least we have MOSS and patten, and COOLEY. The focus will be on the running backs. I would look for Portis and Betts to be catching alot more passes this year.

That Guy · 03-01-2006, 04:28 AM

we don't have enough talent, if cooley/patten/moss get hurt, thats it. we need someone and if a cba isn't done, the draft is about the only way.

or first pick i'd prefer to use on TE (pope) or OT/OG (depending on who's there, but an eye on spencer cause he'd be a huge upgrade over doc, and he'd be super cheap depth).

I think the WRs in the 3rd and 4th are better than most that'll be ranked highly in the 2nd.

Does anyone know off hand how much the average 2nd round pick deserves to get paid his first year? Including bonus.
