As for WR, the Skins appear not to be too hot on Texas speedster Limas Sweed who many believe could be a target for them in the first or second round.. ESPN pitched the idea of CB Aqib Talib from Kansas, Vinny admitted he liked him very much.. I'd be surprised if the Skins went CB in the first round..

I love how Bram totally exposed Larry Michael with the Chad Johnson prank
I really don't think there would be a wide receiver available at #21 that would be more than a serviceable #2. Moss' injury woes over the last couple of years make me wonder if he'll be able to last much longer. I think we need to look at defensive line with that first-round pick.
No interest in Sweed huh? I find that hard to believe.

I've seen quite a few services rate Sweed in the 2nd round. Maybe they think they can get him there. Don't think he'll fall that far though.
I know they've said that WR is a major priority, but they've got bigger issues. DE, CB, and OL could all possibly be addressed first. Or maybe they believe that Cincy will eventually trade Johnson. I'm looking forward to seeing what Mix is capable of.

This part confuses me. My instincts tell me that there should be a however in front of "I'd be suprised".

Yeah I've seen many mocks lately with Sweed out of the 1st round altogether.
Kiper's latest mock has us taking Devin Thomas.

I just think we could do so much better drafting linemen with our top picks in general. I'd be a big advocate of really gearing our 1st rounders from here on out towards linemen only with a QB thrown in every 5-7 years as needed and a CB every 4 years maybe. It just that the other skill position players seem so much easier to come by via FA than linemen. I might puke if we draft a WR. We can get a comparable WR in 2 or 3 I'd bet.

sweed looks like a bust to me, so that's good news. talib's not my first choice, but he seems like he'd be solid. rather have harvey or cromartie, but both may be gone by our pick.
we go DE with our first rounder...
after that I have
5 words...
Jordy Nelson in the 2nd
cuz with mix we have our big guy.. and he will develop..
adding nelson makes our wr corps look that muh better
