Picking a CB in the Draft

Justice Hog · Post by **Justice Hog** » Thu Apr 14, 2005 11:38 am

My gut is telling me that the Redskins are going to be selecting a CB at #9.

Here's my question to y'all or to all y'all (plural of "y'all"):

Assuming all top CBs are available at #9 (which likely will not happen), which CB would you want the Redskins to select?

Jones. SIze doesn't matter as much to this position.

Gibbs will avoid a nother Miami headache anyway.

If he's availble I'd rather have Rolle... Size does matter (lol).

Rolle is a beast and according to a faithful follower of Miami he hits almost as hard as Taylor!

He's fast, mean, tackles well and is great in coverage.

He'd be great on the cornerback blitz, I'd love to see McNabb, Manning and Bledsoe get folded in half by Rolle on the blindside blitz!

I really don't like any of them at 9. Pac-Man is good, but he is somewhat of a gamble with only 2 yrs of starting experience. Rolle is a freak, but Im getting worried that this U-Miami stuff is getting to be a headache.

If I had to chose, I would go with Rolle though.

I would take Rolle based on overall talent. I am weary of The U's known reputation for breeding egos but if he helps, he helps.

I still don't know the bottom of the "Pac-Man situation" that went down a few weeks ago, so I am weary of that.

Not sure if you were just playing on the pun, but I said doesn't matter as much (with the rule changes)

#28 was listed 5'9" 184

Besides, ROlle was arrested for battery on a law enforcement officer.(a felony)
The charges were dropped.

Oh yeah, his dad Al Rolle? He's a police chief. Charges dropped you say?

I chose Pac Man, But only because of the ego of the Miami players, Im not real impressed with them

U know what? I was thinking of Rolle, but now I find out that he's another Miami guy....who needs the drama? I voted for pacman.

Gotta go with Pac-Man...as long as deion stays away from him.

Although I think either CB would be fine.

I just like ARolle over Jones. I just think he has better skill. We do NOT need a KR or a PR so, the skins should not lean on Jones just because he can return kicks.

THE NEWS

Redskins' head coach Joe Gibbs has identified the cornerback position as his team's biggest need heading into the draft, according to the Washington Post. As such, the team has or will play host to the top-three rookie cornerbacks in recent days. Adam "Pac-Man" Jones, Antrel Rolle, and Carlos Rogers have all either visited team headquarters or have visits scheduled. The Redskins hold the No. 9 overall pick in the draft.

OUR VIEW

The Skins should be able to land one of those cornerbacks. Two teams that pick ahead of the Redskins – the Titans and Cardinals – are also rumored to be in the market for defensive back help. However, both teams have additional needs and are not necessarily locked in on selecting cornerbacks in the first round. In other words, there is a chance that the Skins could have their pick of the top-three cornerbacks, while there is also a chance they will have to settle for the third best cornerback available.

Dude, the poll says assuming "all CBs are there". It's just a way to see who our preference is, that's all.

I'd like to know who said "other" and who that "other" person is?

I voted for Rolle, but I think Carlos Rogers is being overlooked.

I think it is more fair comparison to compare Rolle with Rogers, and not Jones.

But even though I think he is being overlooked, I dont think he is worthy of the #9. I see Rogers as a #2 CB, while Jones and Rolle look like for sure #1's.

I picked Rolle because he seems to have the most talent, but if the Skin's could trade down a few spots and get a 2nd or third round pick I think Rodgers would also be good.
