It feels like only yesterday we had our last pick.

There's still a few, though not many, DL-men who can help us for sure this year. There's plenty of projects left too. Any unknowns from small schools or any of you guys got inside knowledge of anyone?

I want Issac Hilton, badly.

He's a D-II player who dominated at Hampton. He's extremely fast for a DE and he's pretty strong for his size... size being the only knock on him.

I would be so excited if we drafted this guy!

At this late in the draft, like 4th round or over you draft for talent not need, take the best player avaialable no matter what his position.

I disagree with that.
If someone stands out head and shoulders above everyone else then yes, take him. If not, you gotta take your clubs situation into account

Totally, the 2nd day is about finding role players. I would say the time to take a stand out reguardless of position is the 1st and 2nd rounds...

I mean, if that weren't true we would have drafted a defensive lineman. We took Taylor, when we really had no need at saftey.

c'mon skinsfan55, you've made it more than clear that you don't agree with the team on drafting taylor. is it really necessary to say the SAME thing in EVERY thread?? we've got about 99% of skin's fans dancing in the streets after we took taylor and you seem like you just sucked on a lemon. be happy for the team, we got MUCH better yesterday.

we would have been even better with Winslow, but that is not the point.

The point is you draft for need in the later rounds and the best player available in the early rounds
