Here we go again. The Skins should just take the best available player in each round. Screw positional needs in the Draft. If you draft good football players, then you have a team of good football players. They should address needs through free agency and trades (NO TRADING PICKS!). I have several reasons for my logic, but I do not feel like expanding on it right now.

I guarentee that I will start another thread that does not involve draft talk in about a month.

I'm not sure I believe in taking the best player available, regardless of positional needs. If you had Carson Palmer on your team and, when it was time to draft in the 1st and 2nd rounds the best players on the board were QBs, would you do so? No. If the best player on the board was a kicker in round 1 and you already had a good kicker, would you draft him? No. I think you have to look at your needs when considering who to draft.

Gotta go to the Defensive Line, we couldnt get pressure on Hasselbeck last Saturday, we need a guy who creates havoc

That's different we dont have the "best" player at any positions.

Good point, but would you draft a QB, TE or RB with our first round draft pick?

Of course I wouldnt, but those are the only 3 positions on our team that I wouldnt draft in the 1st round. Everything else is on the table. (except kicker and punter obviously)

If they are looking at D Line, how about Howie Long's son out of UVA. I only saw a few of their games, but he seemed to put pressure on the QB and was explosive off the line.

I think we definitely have to go D-line this year. We've been talking about getting a pass-rush for years, but we still haven't ever gone after a big time DE in the 1st round that could be a stud for years.

Chris Long is expected to go very early in the first round. Of course that could change w/ combine performances. Recently the Skins have seemed to try to fill holes with FA and supplement w/ the draft. I would like to see if Lawrence Jackson a DE at USC works his way to our draft spot

DE, then Oline in the draft. I say we go after Trufant in FA he seems like a good cover corner and he has some size. Man I really want a proven elite corner at some point, I miss Bailey!

I miss bailey to, but I think Asante Samuels is a better cover corner than Trufant. I think we wont be able to sign either one.
