With the 6th Pick, The Redskins Select...

The kid LaMarr Woodley is a beast. I'd like to see us trade down and maybe get him to be honest.

I know we spent a lot of money on WRs the past off season and our D needs help but if Calvin Johnson declares I would like to see him in a Skins Uniform. He is a beast. Might even be able to trade down for him and pick up a few more picks. Then go after Clements from Buffalo in FA, just don't pay him too much.

The Skins have already committed significant cap to the WR position (Moss, Lloyd, and Randle El). The offense will be fine as long as we keep the O-line intact (re-sign Dockery) and Campbell continues to develop. It's a no brainer that we need to draft a pass rusher, and Gaines Adams should be at the top of that list. Imagine how much better our secondary would look with a pass rush coming from the front four. Competent FA cornerbacks like Clements make a boatload these days, so if you want to go that route, be prepared to pay accordingly.

Gaines Adams or Leon Hall are my picks if we keep the 5th pick, but I'd like to trade down to the late first round and pick up some extra picks to be honest.

EXoffender · 01-01-2007, 01:34 PM

I'd say... Posluszny, Paul (OLB), Penn State 1 6-2 230 4.58

As far as the DL goes we need a run stopping DT who will draw double teams. Griffin and Golston are the same pass rushing type. Carter and Evans are solid enough and will be better with improved DT play. CB is another need, possibly greater than our front seven but are there any NFL starting caliber to-be-rookies that fit the bill? That need will likely be our trendy FA splash.

It has to be Leon Hall out of Michigan, without a doubt. He is the best corner in the draft and one of the best I have seen in a long time. Watch him on the USC recievers today.

I would have to disagree....if you watched Hall vs. OSU he was terrible. He got burned several times, was out of position, and missed tackles. I know our secondary needs help badly and I did like Hall until I watched that game but this is a deep draft and we would be better off trading down and picking up some picks.

If Calvin Johnson would somehow fall to us there would be alot of teams willing to trade up and take him. If you look at the top 5 picks there really isn't a team that looks to invest a top pick in a WR. The Bucs might take especially after the game he had today but the other teams have more important issues then WR.

If we stay at our spot I would say Ganies Adams, at least he will help our pass rush. There really isn't any CB's worth taking this high in the draft.

If we trade down, which I would prefer, I would say pick up a LB in the first either Patrick Willis from Ole Miss or Paul Posluszny from PSU. Both will be great pros and Posluszny has the ability to play MLB or OLB. Then in a later round, 2nd or 3rd depending what we get, pick up a DB like David Irons from Auburn. He is a good cover coner with good speed and he can tackle. He is not as big as the DB's Williams likes but he can cover big WR's well. He did a great job covering Sidney Rice a very talented 6'4" WR with possibly sub 4.4 speed.

hall would mainly play nickle and dime in his first year and would have an immediate impact in that area. We don't need a qb or a wide reciever. Defensive seconday.

Schneed10 · 01-01-2007, 02:04 PM

We officially have the 6th overall pick. Arizona had an easier schedule than we did, as expected.

We need to trade down and pick up other picks including a lower 1st round pick. I would have to say draft moses with that pick and add a mlb with another pick we get by trading down. sign nate clements and a big fat run stopping stud in the middle to help out keeping ou linebackers free to make plays along with our defensive ends to play one on one with the opposing teams' tackles. This is the first step to improve this team.

EternalEnigma21 · 01-01-2007, 06:35 PM

I'd take troy smith with the fifth pick... I mean he wouldn't start for 2-4 years in this franchise, anyway, why not take him? If JC doesn't make it, or gets hurt we have smith there...

I like Jason Campbell, but I don't think you can turn down Troy Smith.

redskins5044 · 01-01-2007, 07:03 PM

for the guy who thinks we should take troy smith. why dont we draft adrain peterson then. we need another RB. our weakness all year has been the defense. if we dont go with defense with this pick the front office is dumb. unless u trade down to get more picks

redskins5044 · 01-01-2007, 06:37 PM

yes u can turn down troy smith we dont need a QB

2007 NFL Mock Draft

that almost hurts to read....

Analysis: We don't like to predict trades in our mock drafts, but if we did this pick would almost certainly be headed somewhere else in exchange for a talented but severely overpaid veteran who could do his part to clogs the arteries of the Redskins salary cap for years to come. But since we don't, the Skins take Branch here which almost certainly won't happen because, well it makes sense.

As Usher said, 'Truth Hurts'....

Anyway, why would we draft Troy Smith? That would be an utter waste of a pick?! That baffles me, and to suggest he could play in 2-4 years? He and Campbell can't be anymore than two years apart in age to begin with. It should never be brought up again.

Mark my words, Jason Campbell will cause a lot of jaws to drop next year.

disclaimer: Only the truth hurt thing was for you Skins&Canes....the rest was for the masses
