Dirtbag59 04-20-2008, 03:59 PM A Jaguars insider told us not to be surprised if Jacksonville tinkers with some 3-4 defensive alignments next season. Despite the fact that the backgrounds of coach Jack Del Rio and new coordinator Gregg Williams are primarily rooted in the 4-3, personnel groupings make the experimentation an enticing option. The Jags lack prototypical speed at defensive end, but their starters have enough bulk to hold up as bookends in three-man fronts. Furthermore, they feel they have the cast of linebackers necessary to dabble in the scheme. That being said, the 4-3 will remain their base defense.

With these selections I hoping that other teams devalue the fact that these to guys have a lot to prove. Both are considered one-year wonders but, I believe the most recent year is the most important when projecting upside to the next level.
That Guy 04-20-2008, 08:38 PM some of those comparisions aren't.... amazing :/.
i do think keller is the best TE this year though and a good pick up on any team, though he'd be a #2 in a decent number of places.

That wouldn't be a bad draft at all
Dirtbag59 04-20-2008, 09:02 PM 1st - Phillip Merling - DE/DT - Clemson
2nd - Brandon Flowers - CB - VT or Antoine Cason - CB - Arizona
3rd - Tony Hills - T/G - Texas or Jerome Simpson - WR - Costal Carolina
3rd Comp - Marcus Monk - WR - Arkansas or Tony Hills
5th - Chad Rhinehart - G/T - Northern Iowa
6th - Corey Lynch - S - App State
7th - Alvin Bowen - OLB - Iowa State
7th Comp - Kyle Wright - QB - Miami
7th Comp - Addarius Bowman - WR - Oklahoma State
SmootSmack 04-20-2008, 09:25 PM 1st - Phillip Merling - DE/DT - Clemson
2nd - Brandon Flowers - CB - VT or Antoine Cason - CB - Arizona
3rd - Tony Hills - T/G - Texas or Jerome Simpson - WR - Costal Carolina
3rd Comp - Marcus Monk - WR - Arkansas or Tony Hills
5th - Chad Rhinehart - G/T - Northern Iowa
6th - Corey Lynch - S - App State
7th - Alvin Bowen - OLB - Iowa State
7th Comp - Kyle Wright - QB - Miami
7th Comp - Addarius Bowman - WR - Oklahoma State
Merling's Pro Day on Thursday should be interesting. Hopefully he doesn't do too good otherwise he may not be there at #21. He might not be there regardless
I think you've got Monk too high as a 3rd rounder, possibly the same with Bowman in the 7th round.
I like the Hills and Rhinehart choices, particularly Hills. Though I hear Rhinehart is slipping on many draft boards.
My favorite player coming out of this draft is definitely Antoine Cason. Some of my colleagues think he's overrated, but I love love LOVE him. Great player, better person. If we drafted him, I'd buy his jersey the day it went on sale. I'd petition Matty to have a Cason avatar by Monday. I might even asked to have my username changed (yet again) to Cason Fo Lyfe!
Have I mentioned I'm an Antoine Cason fan? :) Unfortunately, I've heard no indications that the Redskins are interested. Even more unfortunately, I hear the Cowboys really like him (possibly at #28?).
davelavarra 04-21-2008, 01:02 PM Given our current roster I'll take:
1st round: Devin Thomas, WR, Michigan State - the guy we need, has all the physical tools that we are searching for, can help Campbell to grow a lot more. With him we could have the opportunity to stretch the field vertically with Moss and Randle El.
2nd round: Lawrence Jackson, DE, Usc - I'll take this one because I believe that Calais Campbell will not fall to us. We need depth at this department.
Dirtbag59 04-22-2008, 07:45 PM I think the best possible realistic mock draft for the Skins right now would be as follows.
1st - Phillip Merling - DE/DT - Clemson - Versatile DE, that believes he can also play DT. As has been said many times before he would replace the again Phillip Daniels as well as provide an interior pass rush on 3 downs.
2nd - Charles Godfrey - CB/S - Iowa - Big, fast, versatile prospect from the same school as Bob Sanders.
3rd - Jerome Simpson - WR - Coastal Carolina - Big, sure handed reciever, though I'm not sure if he'll be avaiable this late in the draft
3rd comp - Tony Hills - T/G - Texas - Versatile OL prospect whos drop this far is probably due to injury concerns. Team would also proably consider taking Zutah if he falls this far, but thats very unlikely at this point
5th - Chad Rhinehart - G/T - Northern Iowa - This would give the Skins another capable O-Lineman to work with. However if Owen Schmit is availble at this point then don't expect the team to pass him up. OLB is also a possiblity here. Plus the Skins are adament about drafting two prospects from the same postion late in the draft if they wait to address a need. (See Anthony Montgomery and Kedric Gholston/ Dallas Startz and HB Blades/ Jim Morliano and Mark Wilson)
6th - Kevin O'Donnell - QB - San Diego State - Athletic QB prospect with all the physical tools you look for
7th - Alvin Bowen - OLB - Iowa State - Very productive OLB, a bit undersized
7th Comp - Joey Haynos - TE - Maryland - Very tall local product that filled in nicely after Vernon Davis left, of course he's not Vernon Davis, nor did he ever match his production
7th Comp - Marcus Dixon - DT/DE - Hampton - Would give them a capable inside player, then again this is the 7th round we're talking about
Cool article about the pre draft presser. One of my favorite quotes came from Vinny Cerrato talking about an exchange with Clinton Portis.
Scout.com: Pre-Draft Presser: Zorn, Cerrato and Snyder (http://was.scout.com/2/748736.html)
On if there are some positions they will not take at 21:
“When I walked in the training room this morning Clinton (Portis, RB, #26) was down there getting stretched and he says ‘What are we doing?’ I said ‘Didn’t you hear? We traded up for McFadden (Arkansas (http://arkansas.scout.com/), RB).’ He laughed. If something crazy happened where somebody fell, you have to look and evaluate it. There are some positions that don’t really warrant us taking.”
Dirtbag59 04-23-2008, 04:08 PM 1st - Traded for Chad Johnson or Anquan Boldin
2nd - Charles Godfrey - CB/S - Iowa - Great combination of physical tools and versitility
3rd - Kendall Langford - DT/DE - Hampton - Aggresive inside pass rusher that can also play end. They could also draft a guy like Marcus Harrison from Arkansas if he falls this far with Langford off the board
3rd Comp - Tony Hills - T/G - Texas - The Redskins get a talented O-line prospect that unfortunatley comes with injury concerns
5th - Chad Rhinehart - G/T - Northern Iowa - Redskins try to make sure they come away from this draft with at least one good lineman by drafting two guys from the same position like they have in years past, but then again 5th round picks have had trouble making the team in recent years.
6th - Kevin O' Donnell - QB - San Diego State - The Redskins get a raw and talented QB prospect that has the type of mobility and arm you look for in a West Coast QB
7th - Alvin Bowen - OLB - Iowa State - Redskins get a productive OLB that will be sure to be a hit on special teams
7th - Joey Haynos - TE - Maryland - Big local product that can contribute as a 2nd TE in passing plays
7th - Andrew Crummy - C/G - Redskins get another local product that can play Center.

Woah, wait a minute! How is that possible???!!!! Don't you know that trading for Chad Johnson means we're not allowed to make any other moves. There's no way, NO WAY, we can make a trade for Chad Johnson (getting a big-time WR to help the offense and Campbell) and still get a potential a CB, DE, OL (two in fact!), not to mention depth at other positions to! How is that even possible!!!!
Your logic has no place here
