What would you want the Skins to do?

Post by Justice Hog »

S.I.'s lastest draft has the Skins trading their #5 pick to Houston for their #10 pick and a 3rd & 4th rounder. Their mock draft then has the skins picking up Kenechi Udeze at #10.

If this is the likely result, what do you think would be best for the Skins?

If Bowen and Ohalete get better due to the Dline - we not only improve the pass, but the D against the rush which killed us last year.

If we get Taylor - he may be a big name, but I still see him as being a guy who can only improve a small portion of the field... the Dline makes the rest of the defense better overall...

i'm completely enamored by taylor. what a great player. but, i voted trade down. i think it's in our best interest to do so. we need line help, and could use a little depth elsewhere so, i think trading down is the most logical decision.

I'd like to take Taylor and voted that way. How long has it been since we've had a dominant safety? Not to mention how we just lost our most dominant defensive back. If we can figure out a way to afford Taylor is the key for me.

Look what Williams did for the pukes w/o a decent pass rush. We need someone that can punish receivers over the middle. With Taylor and Bowen back there, opposing receivers will have alligator arms after the first contact.....which will in turn make the corners better and the pass rush better by forcing the opponent's QB to hold unto the ball longer.
God bless our troops and Joe Gibbs.
We'll miss you, Joe.

I like Taylor but if a trade similar to that comes to attention I think we may wanna jump on it. The rest of free agency should really answer the question. At this rate I say trade if we think we can pick up some decent help in the extra picks we get.

I vote take Taylor.
If the extra 2 picks were just 1 extra second rounder, I might be more tempted to move down.

Im really hoping we get one more D-lineman in Free Agency and then take Taylor. If not then maybe we should trade down. Thing is he is the best player on most boards and that speaks volumes alone.

65% want Taylor so I guess you have to call Gibbs and tell him the verdict Justice Hog. I am sure since you are a representative of theHogs.net he will do your bidding. Good Job!! :celebrate:

I voted to draft Taylor. He seems to have superstar and playmaker written all over him. I think that having a few studs is a really good thing. Of course, I suppose you need balance, too, and can't afford to be too weak at any particular spot. But solid at QB, combined with studs in Portis and Coles makes me optimistic about the offense. If the O-line plays like last season, it won't much matter, but I think that the talent is there, and Bugel will make a big difference. Losing Champ is big, but Lavar and Taylor are game changing type players, and big hitters. Not downplaying the value of a shut-down corner, but there are alot of close games nowadays, and I think the current game is dominated by good coaching combined with playmakers...but what do I know, I'm a newbie. And a verbose one...

I know that we could still use some help up front....but Sean Taylor is just to special of a player to let pass. Ed Reed, Brian Dawkins and Roy Williams will have a new neighbor when this guy takes the field. Not many safties go in the first round but the past two drafts have proven otherwise. Williams....Reed...Polamalu. We need to take Sean Taylor :) [b][/b]
