Supplemental Draft to begin on Thursday July 12, do you think we will make a move?

[paulskinsfan]

With our current talent evaluators (and Im speaking about guys taken after Rd 3) I would go for using a 5th on Gaithers now that Ive read some about him. I just don't think the current structure can evaluate talent after the 3rd round anyway, why not?

Any truth to those 'character issues' with Gaither?

BTW Gaither at round three is a steal.

i wish Dallas didn't draft two Tackles this year, I would definitely want him at round three.

Mind you every NFL team knows that there are hella OT's coming out next year. There will be quality at OT well into the third/fourth round.

Yeah, i go to Maryland. But i've never heard anything about his character at all. I also don't know anyone that knows him so i can't ask around. The basketball team gets around here. I don't see the football team anywhere. I know a couple girls that get around with the basketball team too.

what time is the draft by the way? How does it exactly work. Do they call off, who wants so and so in this round and if someone picks him then he goes off the board? What if two teams want someone in the 4th round, what happens? Can you pick someone up in a round if you don't have the draft spot next year. Like if you traded your 5th but you want somone there, do you have to wait for the 6th?

These players have unique situations, its not that they are bad players. I am up fro picking up gaithers today and i'll give a 5th for that. I think he'll go higher but i won't be upset with giving a 4th either. A third would be pushing it too far. Paul, nice report by PFT. I was hoping to pick him up there. We'll see but adding depth to the line was a big knock on our draft. If we can pick someone up that is decent for depth, i don't see why not.

I don't know that I'd take him as high as the 4th round...5th or lower I'm comfortable with, but if he goes higher, the other teams can have him. I, personally, would have preferred the Skins grab an O Lineman in the real draft, but that's neither here nor there.

My main beef with grabbing him this year is that it's almost like taking him next year. He'll be way behind on learning the offense and that will make him ineffective, if he sees the field at all, this year. While I agree he's good, I don't think taking him too high would be wise.

Slightly different. Teams submit "bids" and the highest bidding team wins. Sooo, if the Skins would use a 5th rounder on a player, they would submit that players name with a 5th round pick bid. If they are the highest bidder than they get the player and lose a corresponding draft pick in next years draft. If 2 teams submit the same bid, then it goes by draft order.

Golston & MOntgomery made the team last year as 5th & 6th rnd. picks, and while they've yet to prove anything, many praised the skins (which is unusual) nabbing Sartz & Blades in the 5th & 6th this year.

If what you mean is that the mgmt. structure is such that the right people aren't making the calls on draft day, I don't know but you may have a point, given what's been said about the danny's meddling. But I"m not ready to say that if we commit to the draft we won't start seeing some results. I think we will, even beyond the 3rd rnd.

[freddyg12]

oh, I do agree though that he may be worth a 5th, but I think the staff will want to keep the vets they have for depth this year, see how things work out & draft some o linemen to develop next year.

Baltimore snagged Gaither in the 5th round. PFT was right on this one.

I have no faith in the Scouting Dep't of the Skins, or in the draft picks utilized by the FO, to select quailty talent past round 3. Yes, Golston & Montgomery made the team, but IMO that speaks to our incredible lack of talent on the D-line more than their respective abilities. I think on most teams, those guys don't even make the squad.

Gaither went to Baltimore in the fifth round.
I think that's a great pick up for them because I could definitely see him taking over for Ogden in a year or so.

[BigSKINBauer]

That sucks.

Golston would definitely make most teams in this league, maybe not as a starter but as a #3 DT in a rotation he's a quality backup.

If you throw enough turds at the wall one of them is bound to stick.

They probably ripped off another source anyway, that's all they seem to do.

That's about the size of it, even a blind squireel get's a nut every now and then...?

That describes PFT pretty well....TURD!
