The Official Draft Thread

I think drafting the O-linemen was purely a depth move. The only decent backup tackle on the roster is Brandon Winey. The other guys, Pita Elisara, Kenyatta Jones and Darryl Terrell, certainly aren't a lock to make the final roster. Bugel and Gibbs are going to look to shore up the depth at O-line, and these two rookies have the potential to be very good linemen. You can never have too many O-linemen going into training camp, that's for sure.

Samuels does have some very large cap figures, but the Skins can afford to carry him on this year's cap, and he's willing to restructure for 2005 and beyond. As far as having the cash to extend his contract-- are you kidding? Plus, the cap is projected to be considerably higher in 2005 and beyond, due to the upcoming TV contract negotiations, so the Skins' cap situation could be improved tremendously.

Here's an interesting little item from CBSSportline (it's after the SD/Manning)...

Apparently, 72 hours ago Gibbs was sold on Winslow, but Gregg Williams kept hammering away at Gibbs to get Taylor until Gibbs finally relented.

"His sell job was so good that his fellow coaches joked ... that they began calling the coach "Counselor Williams" for his lawyerly sales pitch."

Thanks Coach Williams!

I think we got a steal in Gregg Williams. I like everything he's done or had to say so far.

Dave Butz Baby! · 04-25-2004, 05:33 PM

And.. it's finally over.

The Raiders picked Mr. Irrelevant this year, Andre Summersell from Colorado State.

I'm ready for the season to start now!

Now it's undrafted free agent time. This part is better than the last three rounds, if you ask me.

Last year, we got Sultan McCullough, Chris Clemons, Kevin Ware, and - oh yeah - ADE JIMOH!

I like the undrafted free agent stuff too... every team is going nuts right about now.

Here's who is left on the DLine..
