theJBexperience 03-07-2006, 11:21 PM What should the Skins do about the cornerback position? Carlos Rogers looks like he's going to be the man. Unfortunately, Springs was banged up during some important games last season and that was a problem for him in Seattle. Then, there's a huge drop off with Walt Harris, who blew so many assignments last year and gave up TDs. Ade Jimoh's alright but still unproven really.
Who should we go after in free agency? Will there be any worth wild corners in the draft? Is it really as big a need as I think. Clearly, a pass rushing DE is the biggest defensive need.
That Guy 03-07-2006, 11:32 PM Jonathon Joseph or Gerrick mcpherson will be available to us in the draft (2nd/4th rounders). will blackmon (WR/CB but raw) will also be there in the 3rd.
in FA there's dyson, but we probably wont have any money and he's had recent injury problems.

Welcome to the board! Don't think we need to worry about Harris since he's gone.

Nice first post. We definitely need to hope for a new CBA so we can sign someone. I'd like to see a younger guy come into the fold to serve as nickel, and possibly step in once Springs is done around these parts. Not sure who's available.
If there's not a CBA extension, we might be dealing with the Ade as our nickel. I believe the words oh sh*t come to mind.

I still like Dyson. He's only 26 years old, has good upside, and won't break the bank. Kid was pretty good before he got injured last season and I see no reason why to hold that injury against him. He certainly doesn't have a history of being injured.
As for the draft, I'm not sure I'm willing to bet on the draft for a corner given how much Williams relies on DBs. I would prefer to see someone more proven. Dyson is exactly that, a proven and young corner.
mcalderone10 03-08-2006, 12:26 AM i dunno if pass rushing DE is our biggest concern once we got healthy our Dline did pretty well. Everyone for the skins did pretty well those last 5 games. I think 2ndary is goin to be rough. Is any news on ryan clark's status or everything just waiting for the CBA?

after seeing how much ade has improved in 3 years and seeing how well 3rd round picks did in starting roles from last year, i'm pretty confident a good nickel corner will available as late as the 4th round (UMD, mcpherson, latest round where you can get a really fast guy).
dyson would cost too much to be used as a #3.
Sheriff Gonna Getcha 03-08-2006, 02:00 AM Ade is a great special teamer and a nice dimeback, but I'm not sure that I would rely on him as the nickelback. Given Springs' age and recent injuries, I also wouldn't feel comfortable with the prospect that Ade, as the nickelback, would be one hit away from the starting lineup.
Maybe we don't need a guy of Dyson's caliber at nickel, but I'd like to see a nickel who is solid and capable of stepping into the starting lineup if necessary. I'm not sure that I'd rely on a 4th rounder to fulfill that role; especially given our recent inability to draft well in the later rounds.
Just my 2 cents.
That Guy 03-08-2006, 02:10 AM yeah, well, as of right now we don't have a 4th rounder anyways. and i don't really think our #2 or #3 are worth using on a corner (better values at OG/LB/TE/possible #3DT or situational pass rusher), so i guess i agree, due to the logistics.
sam madison might be cheap enough... the FA market isn't exactly brimming with CB talent this year.

Good point about the 4th rounder. I forgot that was part of the deal with the Broncos. I also agree about the fact that we could get better value out of our #2 and #3 at the TE or LB positions (which are very deep in the draft this year). I don't know much about the guard or defensive tackle prospects.
Madison could be cheap. I don't know. Unfortunately, it appears the Giants are targeting him and they have more money and could offer him a starting job (given that Allen is leaving and Peterson is recovering from an injury).
Dyson won't be cheap, but he won't break the bank. Last season, he signed a 5-year deal worth $17.5 million with a mere $1.5 million signing bonus. Even though the FA pool of cornerbacks is shallow, I can't imagine he'll be worth a lot more now given that he spent much of last season injured.
