CB Ignored in Free Agency

he's kinda terrible though.

minor details

um, this is a forum, where people talk. Maybe you missed the point of this thread, but according to your post we shouldn't ever discuss anything ever? kinda defeats the purpose of why we're here, now doesn't it?

and he understood himself he wouldn't be posting/discussing

With Walt Harris gone, the team surely knows that Ade can't serve as our nickel. The team must have a plan, and given the draft's depth at CB, I'm guessing they have some CB candidates for our 2nd rounder. Some of you guys really know the draft pool, can you hit us with the CB candidates the Skins might be interested in with their 2nd rounder?

I hope they don't waste our 2nd rounder on a cb. Id rather a linebacker.[/QUOTE]

Why can't Ade cover nickel? When Springs and Rogers were hurt he was starting.

he got burnt too. he can start, but its definately not optimal.

I think the Skins don't need to rush into signing a cornerback. They do need a nickel guy to come in and possibly take over as the starter when Springs is finished. We also pretty much know that this guy is gonna see some action as a starter because Springs and Rogers both missed time last year. I think that it is an important thing that we bring someone, but I'm not ready to press the panic button just because we haven't looked into adding depth because we're too busy courting starters.

They gave Ade an RFA sheet, so I think they hope he can play nickle. But my guess is that when the market calms down, we'll bring in a vet 3rd CB or two, and see who steps up in camp. IMHO, CBs are overpaid right now, and we have two starters so there's no need to jump in yet. A pass rusher, on the other hand...

They may also try to do what Denver did last year and use the draft to find corners. I think this year's group is pretty deep in that area.

we've got pass rushers sighted at least. If dyson is cheap, he'd be good. hopefully then at least 2 of the 3 would be healthy each week.

i think the spray and pray is a good idea. but they used a ton of day one picks on corners and 5ths and 6ths are much less likely to prove worthwhile :(

BUT, its not like there's any position where those picks would be really likely to turn into useful players.

I'd like to see the 2nd rounder on an OLB... I think someone like Andre Dyson would be perfect for what we run on defense. He was very productive putting pressure on the QB at Tennessee. I just dont want ol' Dan to overpay someone like this. Him or not, I'd like to see us address the d backfield through FA (Archuleta, r w, etc...)
