Diehardskin2982 presents "My Skins Draft Strategy"

I really doubt Pitcock will fall to the 7th round.

Could he fall to the 6th?

Could he fall to the 6th?

I doubt it. I see Pitcock going in the 3rd or 4th.

There are two approaches that the skins could have in this years draft. 1~trade down or 2~stay put. Personally I could be happy with either one because I see some major play makers in the top of this draft and there is so much talent in this draft that trading down could be usefull. Below is my strategy, tell me what you folks think and present the options that you would do.

Round1:
I would trade down to hopefully the Bills position and draft Amobi Okoye of Louisville with the 12th pick. (hopefully gaining their 1st, second, and 4th round pick.

Round2 (Bills43 pick): Charles Johnson DE Georgia~ I would also consider Josh Wilson here because of his speed (reminds me of D.Green). The D-line needs to be fixed ASAP.

Round 4 (bills Pick): Rueben Riley OG Michigan he has the size and potential but would be a project for Joe Bugel to turn into a monster.

Round 5: Travarous Bain CB Hampton ~ Although this transfer from Miami played in a lesser division of college football his combination of size and speed warrants a chance to crack the roster (6-0 1/8 174)

Round 6: Anthony Waters MLB Clemson~ good size had a injury that he has to rehabilitate but could spend a year learning the defense, playing special teams and watching London fletcher.

Round 6 (Bears): Prince Prempeh WR Marist- 6-3 183 and not scared to go over the middle... Special teams anyone?

Round 7: Quinn Pitcock DT Ohio State ~ great size and potential, needs coaching

Wildcard: I would consider getting back into the late 1st early second to take a stab at Meriweather he would compliment Sean Taylor well and boost our secondary.

I think C.J. Gaddis would be a better pick in the 5th instead of Travarous Bain, I also think we should make a run for a safety to compliment Taylor, I think our SS situation is very shaky. I like the Anthony Waters pick in the 6th.

that is what i considered with my wildcard pick

great post, is there any background reason for the Bills prediction?

The play of our front seven last year mandates we make a serious effort to address that area, so drafting for immediate need would IMO be the appropriate way to go. We need to build to defend in the NFC east against teams that love to run the ball. None of us want to witness another season where our defende was gashed up front in the running game like last year. The Giant game is still fresh in my mind when Eli Manning converted nine consecutive 3rd downs. We MUST get better against the run,and be able to establish enough of a pass-rush to get teams off the field on 3rd down. Therefore, improving the D-Line is an absolute must.

Good post. I am also a fan of trading out of the 6th spot for more selections. That would ultimately assist our D-line the most. We sack threatening D-lineman on the double.

I don't think Okoye would last to twelve, but if Adrian Peterson does fall all the way to us, I could see the Bills being interested.

I'm not sure who we would get at 12 if Okoye was gone. Branch, maybe? Gaines Adams?

Good post though, looks like you've done some solid research.

carriker.

in the fifth, i'd take a shot with courtney brown (6'2" 41.5" vert 4.35 CB). fairly production corner from cal poly... might be worth a look.

I really do not think that this going to happen, we may get one defensive lineman and that will probably it for this season even if we do trade down. We have to realize that we have 2 probable starters on the line already next season in Carter and Golston. Big Joe is not going anywhere so he will be in the rotation and so will Daniels and Griff, Montgomery and, probably Sykes. We can only have but so many defensive lineman so we will probably get ONE more. I think that all of this defensive line talk is a trickle down effect started by our fans. One fan started it, it sounded good and then everybody else just joined in and now we have Mock drafts on every Redskin message board with the Redskins taking 3-4 defensive lineman but we are not going to do that because we simply do not have the room.

I can almost assure you that after we draft that one defensive lineman that the Redskins are going to start to work on getting a player or 2 in D.C. to help us score in the red-zone.
