I would like to know who you would pick if we drafted here. I think he is good but I am not sure on this one

I like the position, but don't follow CFB enough to evaluate him.

The obvious choice is Speedy Gun Gordon.

Speedy plays defense too? Come on man get your facts straight. I have Speedys stats locked up in my safe. No I wont share it either. I know what Speedy can do.

Speedy Gun plays both ways. He's the second coming of Sammy Baugh.

Safety would be a good position, but as the yupchagee said doesn't follow college football enough to evaluate him. The predicted pick is from bama and that could be good. If we chose safety, I'd want to focus on oline the next round.

- OL
- DL (and I wish the Skins would drop the 3 - 4. No Haslett or any other 3 - 4 DC. Ask who Richie Pettibon would suggest. Gregg W??)
- Another DL
- Another OL

Yes, you guessed it. I want to see the current-issue Dave Butz and Jim Lachey. If a clone of Sean Taylor is available in an early round, OK, take him. Otherwise, linemen. If the DL flattens the opposing QB's protection and rolls over the runners, everything else gets easier.

My quick estimate:

- 2014 is a dead season. Gruden evaluates who stays
- 2015 is a fight for 7 - 9 or 8 - 8. Respectability.
- 2016 the Redskins compete.

No big name free agents. Take the wings and engines off of "Redskin 1". Scout. Draft. Coach. Improve.

Taylor came to my mind when I first saw the link.

Sean does have a younger brother. I don't know how far away he is from the NFL, but they were saying on A Football Life that he looks and plays just the same.

I agree with Welch about needing to emphasize OL/DL, but we HAVE to find a legit safety either in the draft or free agency. Secondary is killing us.

I'm a BPA guy and I have a theory.

The best place to pick is after the top 5 or 6 ( ) because enough GMs in front of you have reached (thinking need) which allows you to pick for BPA and need simultaneously (O-Line).

Look who the Cowboys got in their recent drafts:

2011, 9th, OT Tyron Smith

2012, traded up from 14th to 6th and blew it by picking for "need", CB Morris Claiborne

2013, 31st, C Travis Frederick

2014, 16th, OT Zack Martin

Bookends and a center with one wasted pick on a corner. Some say Smith and Martin were the best O-linemen in their repective drafts and they were had at 9th and 16th. I remember wanting Smith. He was gone, though. But didn't we trade back from 10th and land Kerrigan? I wonder if we would have taken Smith at 10th if Dallas had passed on him.

Screw skill guys early. Pick up top notch linemen even with "bad" draft position.

Yeah I saw that film as well. Judging based off the look of his age, he probably wouldn't be in the NFL until maybe 2025.

1st pick - O-line
2nd pick - trade down, O-line

so on and so on.

I think we're taking the best player available except for those very few positions that we don't have a glaring need ...
