The Skins could do far worse than Portis and Betts. While Slaton is a very good back, there are more important holes to fill at this point than grabbing Slaton, who most likely will be a top 15 pick...Plus as a junior, he may elect to stay with Pat White for a 4th year...speculation at its finest!
wont happen. noel divine has that job next year... slaton is coming out this year.
billyharless 10-31-2007, 03:32 AM If I were the Skins I would be drooling over Darren McFadden, but if anyone at the top of the draft needs a back, he'll probably go in the top 5.
Yeah that is why I was thinking Slaton since he will probably go sometime after McFadden. I don't think we would have a chance to get McFadden.
billyharless 10-31-2007, 03:36 AM Whoever believes we should draft a RB must have never seen a football game, never played one or just doesn't understand the concept of football. I'm sorry you can't run when you get hit in the back field all the time.
Does anyone even remember games against the Dolphins with a healthy line, the game against the Eagles with Thomas for a half? I guess not. People should really think about things before they know the answer.
And I'm a WVU fan.
CP has been here 4 years and has had plenty of chances to run behind healthy o-lines. I admit we have an o-line problem now but the bigger picture is beyond the o-line. We have a overpaid RB that doesn't produce year after year and cannot seem to stay healthy and does not have the desire to play hurt.

Slaton will probably go around number 30 in the first round.
Slaton is actually beside the original point. He was just an example. Do the Skins need to draft a young rookie RB and keep building the o-line from free agency?
skinsfan242 10-31-2007, 10:41 AM only if he can play DE or oline. Lets get real we need some linemen.
Exactly, lets build through the lines. Defensive and Offensive. We should spend our top three picks on the best lineman available, Guard, End or Tackle. Spend our later picks on a BIG wide receiver, blocking TE, and more lineman. We are fine at the skill positions. We should also consider a LB to replace Washington in a few years.

Then when writing the original post, you should have made that the post, not including Steve Slaton...using him as an example would have been fine, but it muddles the entire thread but singling out Slaton.

While it'll probably happen, I can see one of two things that'll prevent it.
1) Knowing he will not be drafted in the first round. If it isn't guaranteed, I wouldn't be surprised to see him back in Morgantown
2) If he emerges in January as a potential Heisman candidate.

This is from the original post....
Would drafting Steve Slaton or at least a top rated running back be better for the Skins than working free agents like Portis?

Why didn't you say that in the title? Why not a title like "Should We Draft a Running Back?"

Good Lord, you guys are nit picky.
theJBexperience 11-01-2007, 10:23 AM Sometimes, you get pounced on for actually introducing an intelligent idea. you've got to be on the bandwagon around here and not try to steer in different directions. It just can't be handled. Remember how bad Laron Landry supporters got dogged pre-draft last year? Just look at it as the more backlash, the better the idea.
