I agree, even if we gave them a couple low picks next year or somthing, we really need some draft room this year. I have a feeling we will trade down, but I really want Sean Taylor too; maybe I'm too greedy. But Portis here sounds good too me.

I'm greedy too then.
I hope we don't trade down at this point and just take what we've been handed (if Taylor's still there at #5). Help fill the void Champ will leave although it won't fill the position (FA might though. Love to take 1 of Philly's CB's). |

If Champ wasn't going to sign, then ship him out. But giving up a 2nd rounder? Bad move IMO. They need help on the DL, and there probably would have been some DT's at that spot.

I think we should get Portis and DT Gardner for Champ and 2nd round pick.

Giving up the #2 hurts a little but Portis' appeal is that he's been a top 5 NFL running back the past two years ... he's as close to a sure thing as you get. Who knows if Kevin Jones or Steven Jackson or Greg Jones will pan out? Well we know Portis can run for 1,500 and 15 TDs per season. More importantly, Gibbs knows Portis can carry the load, be the focal point. He doesn't want to gamble on rookies ... he likes experience (see Brunell vs. Ramsey). He traded for Byner and Riggs, brought in Kelvin Bryant, George Rogers, talked Riggins out of retirement. All these guys started with other teams. Gibbs likes vets. So hello Clinton Portis, maybe the best RB he's ever had (sorry Riggo).

Denver overpayed Gardner. i don't want that contract. Let them cut him then we can pick him up cheaper. |

Portis is a great runner, but I wouldn't compare him to the master, Barry Sanders!
As far as trading down for more picks. I'd agree with you if Taylor wasn't such an incrediable player. If he's off the board, deal down. If he's there, we'd be absolutly crazy not to take him, especially with the hit our secondary is going to take! |

Plenty of critics out there expect Taylor to be one of, if not the best S in the league the 1st day he starts. If he's not there at #5 then yeah, the talent drop is significant so trading down would be the smart play but I don't see a lower 1st round DT? DE? and mid-2nd round whoever? having the immediate impact Taylor will. I'd hate to see us pass on the best defensive player in this draft- for 2 of anything. |
