Michael Robinson vs.Antwaan Randle El

I say why not Robinson if he falls to us in the 5th round, if he sucks it doesn't cost us much and if he turns out to be our answer on ST's then we got him cheap with room to grow as a WR...but we will still need to sign a WR to go with Moss and Patten

what school did hagans go to?

UVa baby...Go Hoos!

Anyway, I really don't think either Hagans or Robinson is any sort of short term answer for the Skins. You could look to someone like Matt Jones in Jax and see that he developed slowly down there (though he did come on at the end of the season he is also 6-5 and ran a 4.2 . . . don't see Robinson or Hagans having that same skill set). In any case, first year WR's as a rule (excluding Anquan Boldin, Terry Glenn, Randy Moss, and maybe some others who slip my mind) always struggle and you can double the probability of that happening when you are talking about switching positions. Not saying they can't be good (I guess Hines Ward is the poster child of QB's turned WR - Issac Bruce actually played QB in college too and certainly there are a ton of others) just that the Skins need someone who can play now, not in two or three years. Add to that the fact that Pat Kirwan from NFL Radio/NFL Network/NFL.com says Robinson projects more as a 3rd down back than as a WR.

just a quick add on to this topic from the Senior BOwl Chat on ESPN:

Kevin (State College): Where do you think Michael Robinson will go in the draft and what position would be a best fit for him?

http://espn-att.starwave.com/i/sn2.gif Scouts, Inc's Todd McShay: I think Michael Robinson's best fit in the NFL will be as a versatile receiver, running back and return specialst type. Look for Robinson to come off the board in the fourth or fifth round.

bert emmanuel was another qb turned receiver who had a fine career.. and perhaps drew pearson as well..

I think Drew P. was listed as an emergency QB for Dallas for many years. I believe that Drew took the final snap in the 31-17 Redskins NFC Championship game. Dallas had left the field while there was still time on the clock and he was the only guy they could get to come out and end the game. Am I imagining this? I was twelve years old and was at the game and with all the excitement perhaps I have things confused. A little help?

i think we should draft Maurice Stovall out of Notre Dame. he will be there with our 2nd round pick most likely. great size and amazing hands. we need big siz and great hands, posession type. not a QB moving to QB.

For the development of young quarterbacks, history has shown us that former QB's playing receiver can help dramatically. The obvious example is Roethlisberger, who throws this year to Ward and Randle-El, both college QBs. The instinct of knowing when a play is breaking down and getting to a safety valve spot has been drilled into them from their throwing days.

hello ,everone!we need a pass rusher first and foremost.we lost to seattle bacause hassleback was allowed to sit in the pocket forever and make plays

normally I hate practically anything to do with Notre Dame, except of course joey t., but I really think this kid Stovall could be amazing and would love it if he fell to us in the second round. unfortunately I see his stock rising during the combine and he won't be available when we pick unless the team moves up.
